Subscribe RSSBARCELONA have already pulled off the over coup of the summer, with at least three months of the transfer window left.
David Villa's sensational £35mil move to the Catalan giants this week after five seasons with Valencia has stunned the football people.
The 28-year-old has rattled in 36 goals in 55 games for Spain since making his debut in 2005 and is his provinces's second highest goalscorer. His scoring prowess in La Liga has seen a host of English clubs coveting his signature, but Barcelona's Pep Guardiola was quicker off the criterion and has drawn first blood in the high-stakes transfer game.
But Guardiola isn't content with improving Barcelona's lethal take away force, he is now eyeing Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas. The Gunners captain was a product of the Barcelona academy and would relish a revenue to his home town club. His signature would be an even bigger coup than Villa's, and would certainly see Barcelona installed as favourites to nick the 2011 Champion League title.
