As I went through today's rumours, I found one that was much more shocking than others....
It said "Arsenal and Barca 'sign pact' on Cesc Fabregas's £30m return to the Nou Camp in 2010"....

This is what it meant, Arsenal and Barca have agreed that Fabregas will be returning to the Catalans in the next summer transfer window, for a fee around 30mill!

So, what do you guys take of this?
Let me hear you Gunner fans...

I don't know what to think anymore. I just hope Cesc doesn't leave us. I can't see him playing very much over there, and feel it would be a bad move

This sounds like a rumor to me, just because of the fact that the season just started. I feel sorry for all of the Gooners, considering the fact that he just came off of a two goal and an assist performance

Yea I heard something similar although I forgot where that Barca were going to buy Cesc but loan him to Arsenal for one year. I don't think Fabregas will want to leave Arsenal though especially if they win silverware which seems more likely after Arsenal's first match

If cecs leaves, Arsenal will suck big time

I don't think cesc will leave for barca until he wins the champions league with arsenal, or maybe even the EPL. He strikes me as that kind of player

That article is just an echo of one that appeared in the Catalan sports dailies. If the reporting is to be believed, the deal has been agreed but will only be triggered if Arsenal fail to qualify for the Champions League (this year or next). A bit of a long shot, admittedly, but you can't blame them for trying

Well I don't see why barca would want him? Then either he, xavi or iniesta will be on bench and that's just a waste, if barca want to buy someone they should get another young defender for when puyol retires or moves on

Cesc will leave one day but not yet.... Its a dream for everyone to end their career at a club they love, he knows its too soon, he's only 22.... He won't leave the club that made him what he is today, he's too loyal just like messi. Not he's fault wenger made him too good at an early age

The era of players starting and ending their careers at a club are over. Fabregas will leave Arsenal but the question everyone is asking is: when?

I slightly agree with Charlie in that I believe Fabregas will stay at Arsenal until he reaches the club's, and his personal goals (winning a major piece of silverware). But then again, if Arsenal don't win a trophy next season or the season after I believe it will speed up the process of Fabregas' departure.

As for this rumor, it's complete rubbish. The Catalan media are constantly spurting out "believable" rumors that are aimed to make one question a player.

Look at Thierry Henry. During his Arsenal career, we were a highly successful club and we won a lot of silverware. Thierry Henry left the club at around 30 years old and his reason was, "I had reached all my goals at Arsenal and I needed a different challenge. " Most Arsenal fans are still give Henry their highest respect as he didn't ditch us due to lack of fame and we arguably got the best of his career.

This can be reflected by Fabregas if we step up our race for the title and start looking dangerous game-in and game-out.

Personally, I don't see Fabregas leaving in the next five years. Maybe that's just wishful thinking

Now I read an article that says Fabregas will leave if they don't win against Celtic

Even though I am sure its a temptaion for fabergas to head home to Spain to ply his trade it would be a foolish move for Wenger to let him go. I know that if it comes down to it theres not a lot that can be done if Cesc has his heart some place other than with the gunners, but other that speculation in the spanish media there doesn't seem to be anything pointing to Fabergas wanting to leave the Emirates in the forseeable future. However I definitly agree with the earlier posts that Arsenal's ability to secure silverware sooner than later will affect cesc's desire to remain with the club in the long term

Captain fabulous will leave emirates for sure. But not now ! Gunners are challenging for every competition they are in. Thomas. Vermalean is a very good signing !

He will leave to Barca for sure. But I don't think nxt season

The cold cut reality of it all is players will get tired of the same thing. Especially players of Fabregas' caliber. After growing up at Arsenal and becoming a top footballer there, it's only natural that he'd want to apply his trade somewhere else.

I, as an avid Arsenal supporter, wouldn't criticize him if he left
