Yaaas Broncos!
In all seriousness I have a feeling he's going to end up at Madrid.
Also if Arsenal sell him I don't think they'll make top 4.
No chance.

Great, then we'll have to deal with all the Fabregas fanboys becoming Madrid fans.In all seriousness I have a feeling he's going to end up at Madrid.

Boss chats some shite here, I'll be fecking AMAZED if he ends up at Madrid.

I don't think Madrid want Boss, Sharky, though nothing would surprise me with them.

At what point has Fabregas ever, in his life, looked like going to Real Madrid.
Boss chats some shite here, I'll be fecking AMAZED if he ends up at Madrid. Would be like Rooney signing for Liverpool.
It's not really.
Fabregas didn't even make it to the first team, never gained legend status there. Left at a very young age.
His ties for Barca are only cultural.
He has done nothing significant there, no time to bond with the fans. He was whistled when subbed at the Camp Nou.
I don't see how it's similar to Wayne joining Liverpool.
What is the running theme Fabregas talks about?
Trophies.
He has a great chance to do that at real playing a significant part. At Barca he will be second choice to Xavi.

Fabregas to Madrid would be like G Nev joining Liverpool.
Or Figo joining Madrid
Who has made this "legend status" at a very young age in that Barca side? What an odd reference. Being second choice, sure, but he'll then go on and succeed him in a couple of years.
What when there's a picture of him as a child in the Barca team with a young Pique? Of course he has ties with Barca, weather he played in the main team or not. Same with Pique, he was desperate to go back.
Its exactly like the Rooney situation, they both were at a rival club to Real/Liverpool at a young age as well as supported the team. Rooney leaving his club maybe 2 years or so later doesn't change the scenario IMO. Its obvious to all he's itching to go to Barca.
He is wanted by the best team in the world, where many of his friends play, the club he and his family support and where he was a youth player.
And you think he might join their arch-rivals who live in their shadow and who are clearly second best in Spain by some distance.
I think you've answered your own question. The running theme is trophies, something Barcelona are in a far better position in both long and short term to achieve. If he plays second choice to Xavi now and then replaces him for the foreseeable future, I'm sure Fabregas could handle that, especially picking up trophies in the meanwhile. Xavi will be 32 by the end of the year, it's not as if he will be keeping Fabregas out for ever.
Where does the choice really come into it?
Barcelona are a better team, he's Catalan and admits to supporting them his whole life, as well as every member of his family. His best friends are all there in Barcelona, as well as a lot of his family. He will be joining the best club in the world, who look the likeliest to sweep up trophies both now and later, and the position he wants to take up will be open in a matter of years.
It's pretty much a dream scenario for him.
Fabregas to Madrid would be like G Nev joining Liverpool.
How do we know Fabregas doesn't have close mates in Real? Ramos? Alonso?
I'm sure alot of footballers play for clubs they support rivals.
People act like it would be a nightmare for Fabregas to be offered super wages out of his arse at Real, work with world class players and one of the best coaches in the world because he played for their rivals at youth level?!
I'm sure his family would be by Fabregas' side whatever decision he takes.
And I reiterate Madrid are not that far behind Barca as people think and a signing like Fabregas would go some way to tightening the gap.
Why should he wait a couple years when he can have a starting point at Real right now?!
He wants to play for Barcelona, supports Barcelona, has all friends, family and influences in Barcelona. Barcelona are the better team, by a clear distance and look to stay that way. As you said he wants trophies, so why join a rival club that's second to the club you already want and from the looks of things, probably won't be able to challenge them on that front?
He wants to play for Barca, I agree
But would he want to play for Jose's Real?
Can anybody prove he wouldn't?
And this Madrid team is still gelling, the semi finals of the CL showed everyone just how close the teams are.
Jose usually gets it right in his second season, with Cesc I doubt Barca will be better by Madrid by some distance if they are even that already.
Plus, you're assuming Hectic that he doesn't have any friends or influences at Real.
Can you prove he would?
And Hectic "assumed" it because he said "lets stick with what we know". So, yeah, lets stick with what we know and that is everything that's been mentioned above.
So all of Fabregas' friends are in Barca? Is that what we know?
Barca are a clear distance better than real? Is this also a fact?
Speculation: Eminent Spanish daily Marca claim Cesc Fabregas has a preliminary agreement with Barcelona and they are set meet his agent this weekend after Arsenal said he could leave - although the two clubs are yet to agree a fee.
The signing of Cesc Fabregas is getting closer. The player already has a preliminary agreement with the Catalan club after getting a firm promise from Arsene Wenger that this summer he may leave London.
Arsenal is asking for £45 million and does not want players in the operation,*
*Barcelona offered £30m, Bojan and Thiago.
