Asked about a rumour that Barcelona has offered Arsenal the return of Barcelona attacker and Belarus international Alexander Hleb (27) in exchange for the transfer of Arsenal winger and Dutch international Robin van Persie (25), Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola has said at a press conference that he's not aware of that:
"Hleb hasn't been offered. Like I already said recently, I didn't yet speak with the sports department about the incoming and outgooing transfer for next season."
Asked about his situation at Barcelona, Hleb meanwhile seemed to suggest in an interview with the official Uefa website that he could be looking for a move in the summer if he doesn't get more playing minutes: "Of course I want more time on the pitch. I will fight for a place in the starting eleven until the end of the season. We will see what might happen in the summer if I am unsuccessful, but I do not want to sit on the bench."

It will take more than hleb ablone. hleb and cash to get van persie. I'd do that deal. I dont really like van persie, but he is an upgrade over hleb and an a natural left footer.
i really hope he stays.
just let him settle and he can do wonders!
Hleb is a good player but, so far, hes not a barcelona material. Sorry 2 say that but Barcelona didnt do a good buy on Hleb.
No more Arsenal rejects, the ones who leave Arsenal find it extremely difficult to adapt to other tactical systems and fit into other teams. I would get rid of Hleb and forget about Van Persie, there are many other players out there in the market that are a much better upgrade to what Hleb can do and offer for Barca.
Plzz........ no van persie !
He'll be a sure failre at Barca. Besides, 9/10 games hez injured . I really dont see anythin good coming out of Van Persie transfer.
Silva , Aguero , Ribery would be the preferred options.
Serious, forget about V persie or silva och any other guys around
Nani in man utd is what i would like, .. not a superstar yet and alot to proof. Since he dont get
much play time either, makin him
know he would be Nr1 choice at
the left would be enough to make him wanna move.
I think we should work hard on that
