Cesc Fabregas, David Silva and Frank Ribery are three players who are constantly being linked as Barca's Summer transfer targets. Of this Fabregas rule the list, with the each Presedential candidates promising his signing. Don't go too far with Presedential candidates' rhetoric. Laporta became president promising signature of David Beckham (for what I don't know!) but luckily managed to sign Ronaldinho. So Fabregas might be leading the line, but it may even not take place. As far as Ribery is concerned, he could be a risky signing as he has a history with injuries. So I am discounting him from this discussion. Fabregas and David Silav form the integral part of Spain's National squad. Because of the abundance of talent both of them sometimes struggle to find a place in starting eleven. But there is no denial that they are the best in their respective positions. Cesc Fabregas evokes more emotions at Barcelona and everyone want this product of their youth academy to return back to his roots. David Silva has spend his all career at Valencia apart from loan stints to Celta Vigo and Eibar.

Bojan Krkic has recently indicated via media an urge to stay in Barca and fight for a spot in the Barcelona forward line-up. His decision is most probably made up on the fact that no concrete offers came in for his loan in the winter transfer window. But it is yet to be seen whether he intend to stay in Barcelona the next season. Bojan Krkic was the next big thing after Messi from Barca's youth academy. His debut season was sensational but the last two season, Bojan have been finding it difficult to see enough playing time. To his discredit he has not done justice to the opportunities given to him. But then it is harsh judging him by his performance in these matches as the opportunities come very few and far in between. If Ibrahmovic has not yet regained his form after playing game after game, Bojan will never hit any kind of form with playing time of ten minutes per month. From an outside perspective Bojan's situation is not bad, actually many would die to be in his position. Taking the position of centre forward into consideration, he is the only real alternative for Ibrahmovic in the team. And that simply means he should get enough playing time , but that's not the case with Bojan.

A solitary goal from Pedro helped Barca register another victory in the League and hold on to the five point lead at the top. The scoreline might suggest an equal contest but in reality a rather wasteful Barca side never managed the second goal they deserved. The 1-0 lead meant that the last ten minutes had it share of uncertainity. Barca altogether had 22 shots but managed only one goal. The big question of the night was who would Guardiola prefer Toure or Busquets - and the answer saw where Yaya's future lies, outside teh starting eleven. No any time in my recent history a player has been deliberately kept out of the starting eleven not on merit. Valdes saw a new comination of defense in front of him. Marquez and Pique made the centre of defense whereas Abidal and Puyol played the full-backs. The midfield saw Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets and the attack line had Messi, Ibra and Pedro, who replaced Henry and did well too. It was as I said in the preview, the trio of Iniesta, Messi and Xavi who ran the show.
