  Arsenal ace Cesc: I will return to Barcelona ... when I retire

  Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas says he's thinking of returning to Barcelona - when he retires.

  And although the Spain midfielder admitted he was fed up with the English climate, he said London would remain his home for now.

  The Gunners captain told Catalunya Radio: "I've never hidden that one day I would return to Barcelona.

  "I have been a lifelong Barca fan. For one reason or another had to leave, but you never know what can happen.

  "I do not need anybody to tell me that Barcelona is the best city in the world to live or about the quality of life there. I know that perfectly. I don't like the London weather but as a city it is spectacular. But yes, when I retire I will live in Barcelona."

  Ya I think he will return in a few years time. when Xavi is in his 30s. he is still 22 and in a few years time, he will be at his peak at age 25 or 26. by then he can return and replace Xavi, as he will be in his 30 something.

  Xavi is already 30 so Fabregas will either leave within 2 years or he won't leave at all.

  if he misses barcelona, why dun he does a Ronaldo and ask for a transfer? these days, its ok if you yearn for a move to a bigger club. somee more barcelona was his home and he was there as a youth, so why not ask for a transfer to his home club?

  Fabregas is better than Iniesta and Xavi. Look at his goalscoring record, clean good image, leadership qualities, number of assists. xavi and iniesta are over-rated
