• Should Barça sign Cesc Fabregas?

  With Barcelona already having signed David Villa from Valencia who would you also like to see playing for Barcelona last season. Villa's performances for Spain at the World Cup show that he is likely to be a useful addition to the team even though he is 29-years-old. The club now are desperately seeking to off-load Ibrahimovic, who had a disappointing first season and his sale would free up a lot of cash. Cesc Fabregas is the most likely arrival now but there are plenty of question marks over whether he is the player that the club need right now. They have similar players in Iniesta and Xavi and surely another addition would just lead to unrest in the dressing room. It is true that Iniesta could play further forward in attack but his best position is in midfield as he does not score enough goals for a striker. It seems a shame that Toure is on his way after he had a very successful first season. During the last campaign he was used less and became unhappy at being overlooked often with Seydou Keita playing ahead of him. If Toure does leave, which appears likely, then Mascherano is his ready made replacement at Liverpool. Personally I would like to see a solid centre half move to the club. Rafa Marquez could well be leaving in the summer as he wants more playing time and Chygrinskiy has been something of a disaster since his move last year, so it leaves Puyol, Pique and the injury prone Milito.
