Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona president Joan Laporta dreams of signing Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fàbregas (21) and Olympique Lyon forward Karim Benzema (20) next summer.
Laporta, who will leave the presidency in 2010, would this way want to prepare the future and leave a legacy for years to come.
A serious economic investment would be needed for both transfers. Arsenal would ask 30 million euro° for Cesc but Barcelona doesn't want to pay such a fee for a former youth player since this would send a bad signal to the fans and the current youth players. The club therefore hopes that Cesc will put pressure on his club.

30 million euro=
38 million us dollar
25 million british pound
If we sign Benzema, then won't Eto'o have to go? Neither of them are bench players, and if we have both then Benzema or Eto'o becomes our new Henry- a brilliant talent rotting on the bench.
Signing Cesc would be great, but Xavi is getting better and better, and the Euros proved that they can't play together. Maybe buying him in about 2 or 3 years would be better.
Inieta would play on the left xavi and cesc would run the midfield and busquets/keita would do the defensive dirty work. Toure and Henry would most likely be gone maybe next season and that would leave a space for benzema who can play across the front line. benzema etoo messi iniesta bojan hleb for about 2 seasons after this and then etoo may leave after he croses 30 along with hleb opening up the way for benzema messi bojan gai and pedro.
Do NOT let Toure leave Barca for 3 or 4 years sell keita we do not need him
I prefer Fabregas, Aguero and Gai.
That will do.
please don't go after benzema, i want him to join manchester united.Aguero is a better buy and he would link up well with messi
The only person i want to keep in barcelona is Laporta!
The best president we had in years!!!
Too bad he cant go on another term.
About signings, at the moment i think no one should leave the club and no one needs to arrive!
Im good the way we are!
At this moment, Benzema is much more realistic option than Cesc. Cesc stated a week or two ago that he doesn't want to join Barca, and Wenger made smart move giving him a captaincy. And as Laporta says giving 30M for him would be a bad signal for all.
Regarding Benzema, it will be much easier to sign him because Barca's opponent RM already signed Huntelaar. But, Juve and Milan will be interested in him as much as Barca.
I don't see why should Toure leave Barca?! I think he's the best DM Barca have. It is more obvious that Henry will exit in summer, Gudjohnsen too.
If Barca don't get Benzema, 2nd choice should be Aguero, definitely or someone like Luis Fabiano. And, of course, another quality mid to replace Iniesta and Xavi when they are tired (if not Cesc, than Diego, Veloso, Moutinho or Hamsik).
yaya can be used in an exchange with fabregas ,along with alot of money of course, this team doesnt need many players,i see us getting a left back and sylvinho out,and we need a 2nd striker after eto(both can play together cause eto can play on the wings,and the new player should fit on the wings,also if you count the rotation we definetly need a 2nd striker{asuming henry will leave this summer})
if we sign 2 of fabregas,benzema,silva then we will be the best team ever....
winter
out: nobody
in: arshavin, Nadir Belhadj

not for sale at list in the next 2years:
- yaya (reason: very smart)
- keita (reason: very strong)
- abidal (if he countinue playing like he did before he got injured)
transfer in 2 years time or maybe a bit ealier if possible:
- cesc fabregas (by hook or by crook)
My wishlist:
Aguero, Benzema, Fabregas, David Silva, Asenjo, Ochoa, Armand Traore or Emanuelson. Or maybe Diego Buonanotte
I heared rumors that Wenger stated to exchange Cesc fr Xavi
no money to b costed
my gunner frnds told me cesc is better as he is young and has more playmaking skills
but Xavi has more scoring skills than cesc
guys im confused!!
Henry,Gud,Sylvinho will go out
and i prefer to sell Marquez as he is not in form....he has no future in the club anymore
so sell Marquez
then formation shud b
Valdes
Alves
Puyol
Milito/Pique
Abidal
Yaya/Kieta
Xavi
Iniesta
Messi
???
Etoo
so new striker
Benzema or if he doesnt comes then definately go fr Aguero
then if we buy Cesc,he is definately a good player,then Xavi and Cesc togetyher is a problem
then try keeping the same defenses
new mids n forward
