Looks like it. He is now beginning to make comments about 'being happy at Arsenal' etc. Looks like he is preparing to stick around again.
For a team and players who seemingly dream of him every day, they really want to get him on the cheap. Also he is possibly going to be on the bench there.
Cesc - Barca talks aren't going well

I honestly don't think it's about money. I think he wants assurances about first team football which Barca honestly cannot give him.
I also don't understand why Barca are so keen on him...they could easily go for cheaper, admittedly less capable midfielders who would be content sitting on the bench and replacing Xavi or Iniesta for the last 10-20 mins of games.

They see him as the long term replacement to Xavi that is why

If he doesn't go to Barca (ie Whinger insists on forcing him to say another season at the club), Fab's got to be careful that he doesn't alienate the fans. He's got to make sure that he hoodwinks you all for another season, so that you continue to chant his name instead of booing him.

Really. You arsehole. I have been a Gunner for over 25 years and don't need to explain myself to 10 year olds like you.
