Fabregas is quite clever at seeding PR, I wouldn't read anything into what he say. He let his Barca mates do an awful lot of talking before he moved there. If he really wanted to come back to us he could just say it rather than whisper to his friends. In the end he'll take what suits him best. 50/50 him staying at Barca or going to Utd. Chance of him coming here? 0%. It would be a huge backward step for him.

Of course if our crappy board and dithering manager had made some bold transfer moves when the window opened things might be different. As it is, if he looks back from Spain now what's the difference between the Arsenal he left and the one he sees now? Possibly we are slightly worse.
