BARCELONA - After presenting five reasons Cesc Fabregas had to go to Barcelona, this time five other reasons why the team captain Arsenal did not have to go back to the Catalan.
Here are five reasons that are at least 24 years old midfielder burdensome step back to my hometown, according to Featured Columnist Barcelona, Manuel Traquete, released bleacherreport.com, Sunday (07/10/2011):
1. Barcelona has more than enough midfielders. If there is one position that many players piling up in Barcelona, it is in midfield. Barca midfield there is no shortage of choice of quality players.
For the position of defensive midfielder, the Catalans have Javier Mascherano and Sergio Busquets, they are best at his position. If needed, Keita Xavi or even be able to fill these positions. As for the attacking midfielder, Pep Guardiola's squad directives already have Xavi, Iniesta, Afellay, Keita and Thiago Alcantara is quite promising.
Except Keita, all players have a world-class talent. Even Keita, has been told that far from world-class games, has now proven to be very reliable even in the important matches though. Of course the arrival of Fabregas would be more qualified. But it seems unnecessary, given the abundance of talent in midfield Blaugrana.
2. £ 40 million, it is better to buy other players. Fabregas is an amazing player. It's no guarantee he will be the main pemian Barcelona, especially in big matches. Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta are the most dominant midfield trio of all time. No problems in midfield was very successful. Unless one of them suffered long term injuries. Given the midfield was perfect, Barca parties should give attention in other sectors in this transfer market.
3. It would be a dangerous example. Fabregas left Barcelona in 2003 to improve the team's regular football career. He earned Arsenal as a team, but he soon realized that taking shortcuts is the wrong attitude.
It's hard to believe that he is at least a little jealous of all the friends of his childhood in the Barca academy, such as Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique, who is now a success in Barcelona. He wanted to be part of the core Barcelona squad that is currently the team is extraordinary.
But Fabregas this story will be a very dangerous precedent for other players who might think to leave his team in the future. Obviously this story is a reflection of a selfish attitude Fabregas. He seemed to be saturated at the Emirates because it will dry it title and for all, he willingly left the team Arsene Wenger, who nearly lost several key players this season.
4. This could potentially hinder the development of Thiago Alcantara and other young players at Barca. Thiago has shown evidence of a remarkable season by joining Barca. Because he knows will get the chance to play more this season. But the arrival of Cesc will only make the situation more difficult for him. Consequently Thiago threatened to play less and hinders to develop his game. It would not be fair if the people who ran alone could inhibit the development of those around him.
5. Fabregas has a physically weak and vulnerable to injury. This is the biggest concern. Xavi Hernandez is seven years older, but has played more than Fabregas during the last three or four seasons. Fitness problems and are vulnerable to injury are strong reasons to be purchased by Fabregas not Barca.
Xavi fitness level is better than Fabregas. If Fabregas really be moved, then he should be able to overcome fitness problems and minimize injury.
