Broxi 11,674 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 ROMAN ABRAMOVICH plans to make a £50million summer swoop for Cesc Fabregas.Chelsea's billionaire owner will try to hijack any Barcelona bid to land the Arsenal skipper.Capturing Fabregas would be an even more astonishing Blues coup than the recent £50m British record signing of Fernando Torres from Liverpool.Chelsea see the Spaniard as the ideal partner for Frank Lampard in the side's engine room.ABRAMOVICH ... wish-listBut Abramovich faces a huge task to convince the Gunners to part with their talismanic midfielder, who last year asked to be allowed to join Barca.Emirates boss Arsene Wenger slapped on a £60m price-tag to stave off the Catalan giants and, in the end, he convinced his captain to stay.Fabregas, though, was left with a bitter taste in his mouth. He felt Barcelona could have done more to convince Arsenal to sell, after he had taken the huge step of asking to leave in a face-to-face with mentor Wenger.Fabregas explained in SunSport that returning home to play for his idol Pep Guardiola and alongside the world's greatest players like Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta and Leo Messi was too good an opportunity for him to turn down.Barca are expected to try again, though there are doubts they can afford the massive fee.And it is their reluctance that might prove key in Chelsea's efforts to snatch Fabregas.The biggest obstacle could be his reluctance to cross London. A move to Stamford Bridge would be viewed as treason.Fabregas has admitted he feels a huge debt to Wenger and Arsenal, so fans will hope for those reasons Abramovich will find it impossible to lure him away.Then again, two weeks ago any Liverpool supporter would have said the same about Torres.Interesting....

alstone 374 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Can only see him leaving if its to go to Barca tbhI think that will be the case for him. He wont get a place in their team right now but when a few others players move on then it will be time for him. He wont play for another premiership team!

MuirhouseBear 291 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 What does he do? Go around every player in the EPL, see who the best are and spunk 50 mil on them? Still a small club with no history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo. 952 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 If it was to happen, would Cesc not be replacing Lampard?He seems a shadow of himself when I've seen him recently. What is he, 33? That's a good age for a high-energy centre-mid playing in the top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 He would definately not sign for another EPL club and won't be going anywhere soon ,unless it's for mor than 50 million as every player has their price that their club would be willing to accept Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesyboy93 2 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Fabregas is another typical foreign player , kids on hes all loyal to Arsenal as soon as an offer comes in that they will offer him double his wages just now he will be out the door in a shot.
