BARCELONA WANT 30 MILLION POUNDS FOR ORIOL ROMEU.

Barcelona want 30 million pounds for their young midfielder Oriol Romeu, a young 18 year old player who has attracted int rest from the Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger , who can spot talent early. But Barcelona are not keen to let the kid go. As it is once bitten twice shy . Barcelona let Cesc Fabregas leave Barcelona early and cheap, now they want Fabregas back, but arsenal is not letting it happen easily.

Barcelona are willing to pay 30 million pounds for Fabregas, the captain of Arsenal and a player who plays for Spain at the world cup. But at the same timeOriol Romeu is in Barcelonas B team as he can not get in, with players like Xavi, Inesita, Mascherano and Bosquets there.

Asking 30 million pounds for a B team player with no experience in the big games is madness, yes Barcelona need money as they are in the red now.But this is crazy.

FABREGAS TO BE ARSENALS HIGHEST PAID.

Arsenal are ready to make a new five year contract for Cesc Fabregas, the Spanish captain of Arsenal. Even though thre is a three year remaining on his contract. The Arsenal club are willing to make a 30 million pound deal with him.They are also willing to pay him a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds a week.This is the highest Arsenal have ever decided to pay their player. Not even the great Henry, Patrick Vieira or Dennis Bergkamp were paid this much. The main reason is that as Fabregas is Spanish he will naturally have a desire to return to Spain one day, but not now as he is only 22 years and both Barcelona and Real Madrid want him. But if he goes there he knows he may sit on the bench with Xavi , Ineista and other midfielders already settled .But Arsenal has been a club known not to splash money like Chelsea or Manchester United. Now Manchester united say they will sell Michael owen whom they got free . But they say they can not pay his weekly salary.
