Please be realistic.

£35 is more then enough for him.

Jam's right. I wouldn't take a pound under £50million for him.

Its more of ''us the catalans won the world cup'' attitude that most Barcelona players have and Madrid players are not so fond of that apparently.

About Cesc it was just them having fun stop taking it so serious, and yes he will come to Barcelona this summer.

Just havin' a larf, yeah? The Barca players aren't as bad as their media, but the complete lack of respect for Arsenal is definitely out of order. Not a day goes by without a story popping up like:

"Xavi / Messi / Iniesta / Pique urges Cesc to join Barca".

The players are just being asked questions, but Barca (and Real) use their media outlets to influence transfers. Arsenal are furious about this, and the new Barca President knows he has a lot to do to undo the actions of his predecessor.

Barca might have a better chance of landing him if they just shut up and approached Arsenal for some private negotiations. £29m was a joke, taking into account Cesc's age, form and contract at Arsenal. Barca are just acting like jerkatrons because they're in debt and they're doing anything they can to drive the price down.

Fabregas himself has been great throughout, so I would have no bad feeling towards him if he did go.

He is a great player but he clearly is not the best midfielder let alone the best spanish midfielder in the world. 35 is enough and any more Arsenal are just being greedy.

Totally agree. Barca's disrespect for other clubs as well as their arrogance in thinking that they can sign anyone they want just by clicking their fingers make me hate them nearly as much as Real these days. Good on Arsenal for telling them where to shove their bids.

As for Cesc's value, he's clearly worth at least £40m. He's not as good at controlling a midfield as Xavi, but has a hell of a lot more goals and assists. I love the Barca attitude of "we really want to bring Cesc home, Barca DNA blah blah blah...but we're not paying a penny over £30m, he's not even that good".

Barcelona never said ''Fabregas is not even good'' but they are right when they say Fabregas needs to play in Spain in order to be one of the best one day. Him playing with Iniesta/Xavi will only improve his game more. I personally reckon Barcelona will make a bid of 40 million and if Arsenal refuse then Fabregas will show it on the field by playing very poor until they actually let him go for a lot less.
