Hi all, this is my very first post on this site and i would just like to write a little article of my views for the need to have Cesc Fabregas return to the Camp Nou at any cost.
In September 2003 at the age of 16, Francesc "Cesc" Fàbregas i Soler left the club to join English giants Arsenal, why did he leave? Many reports have claimed that he left because the club was in decline having not won after for 5 years ( Arsenal?), or because of Arsene Wenger wanting to turn this jewel into a diamond.
Roll onto the summer of 2010, and the need for Cesc Fabregas to return to his home, in fact Cesc first attended a game with his grandfather at a very young age, his willingness to return to the club almost came off when Joan Laporta set out to sign the jewel he let go back in 2003 before he took over the reigns at the Camp Nou, as the outgoing president was leaving negotiations where continuing with Arsenal but now taken over by Sandro Rossell the new president of FCB.
Rossell in my views didn’t sign him for two reasons, the poor accounts left to him by outgoing president Joan Laporta and the fact that Joan himself was trying to sign Cesc and leave the club, the man that brought back the diamond in the rough.
The fact that Barca is in a poor financial state to me has no bearings on the possibility of Cesc returning, we signed David Villa for a fee of €40, that shows that the club has the money to use, okay we sold players like Marquez,Henry and Dmytro Chygrynskiy to help fund the deal, but the club needs to look at the bigger picture here, Cesc Fabregas’s return will bring in a large revenue in shirt deals, and sponsorships, and we will have home one of our boys that’s been a club member from the age of 2, also the fact that he is a World Cup winner with most of the Barca first team, a project of La Masia and he has Barca in his blood and footballing DNA, a simply perfect fit.
Why do we need him? Very simple in my eyes, with the increasing tendonitis in Xavi Hernandez and the fact that Xavi is now 30 and is looking unlikely to play 2 games back to back for the rest of his playing days, Cesc is the long term replacement for Xavi.
Xavi has 3-4 years left at the top in him and I hope he continues at Barca beyond his playing days, with Cesc improving each season I really believe now is the time to step up and prove his top class at the very highest level possible.
We all no how great Xavi is with the ball at his feet and how he can pick a pass through the smallest gap in the oppositions defence, Cesc has these same quality’s installed in him, if you watch him playing for Arsenal a few things come to mind, the fact he wears the armband, Cesc is not a leader in such taking the team by the scruff of the neck like Puyol has, Cesc is the big fish in a sea of young talented kids, Arsenals in ability to win silver wear must be getting to him, while he watches he beloved Barca win everything in site.
Xavi and Cesc can form a dynamic team in the middle of the park with Sergio or Masch behind them, give them both the license to move forward together in tamdon. By having these together this give Andres Iniesta the chance to move into a more advance role which I feel best suits him, But what about Pedro? Or Afellay etc, well everyone has a place in the Barca squad.
When it comes time for Xavi to finally hang up the boots at the Camp Nou there’s no man more ready to fill those boots for the next 10 years, and having them playing together for the latter part of Xavi’s career will and can only be a huge benefit for Cesc still young himself.
Cesc moving to Barca is good for everyone at the club, best friends like Pique, Iniesta, Valdez etc. will all benefit from their friend joining.
In closing Cesc returning home needs to happen now and not later, why? Because the long term vision of the club needs him.
He’s Barca and always will be.
