Barca's midfield genius has revealed that he has spoken to 'El Guaje' about his future... Reports are quickly intensifying that David Villa is all but certain to make the switch to Barcelona some
time this summer. Goal.com reported yesterday that a source close to the Blaugrana had revealed that ‘El Guaje’ will leave Valencia for the Camp Nou, and now Xavi has confessed that the Che
hot-shot is looking forward with anticipation to a possible move. “Talking to him [after the Confederations Cup], I noticed that he was very excited at the prospect of coming to Barcelona,” the
midfielder told Sport. “It is now only a matter of reaching an agreement with Valencia. But despite their social problems and the presidential changes, a lot of different stories have emerged. “I
have spoken with Villa again in the past few days and he is calm because he knows that this is a situation that depends on the clubs. It is complicated but I suppose everything will be resolved
eventually and I wish him all the best. “If he comes to Barca, it will be a great acquisition for us.” Villa’s arrival would hasten the exit of the unsettled Samuel Eto’o, but on the off-chance
that they should end up playing together in Barca colours, Xavi is confident that they can collaborate on the pitch. “I’m sure they will be compatible. Why not? All the great footballers are
compatible in any team,” he reasoned. “They are two players who are able to make a difference in a game and they are the best strikers in the world.” Finally, Xavi threw his support behind the
troubled Cameroonian, who has been struggling to sort his future out. He said, “We know that he is a great professional and a winner. He contributes a lot to the team on the field and he is a
great person in the dressing room. “But this is an issue that must be settled by those in charge such as Txiki [Begiristain], Pep [Guardiola], the president [Joan Laporta] and 'Samu' [Eto'o]
himself. Certainly, we would be delighted if he were to stick around.” KS Leong, Goal.com

yes as Laporta said. that even if Eto stays we need a new striker. that could be in the form of David Villa, Forlan, Fabregas, or Ribery. hopefully he will join Barca in the end
Fabregas should not be considered a striker
