Cruyff plea to nab Fab
Posted Tuesday, June 07, 2011 by The Sun
NOU CAMP legend Johan Cruyff insists Barcelona must sign Cesc Fabregas - so they can get even BETTER.
Former Barca player and coach Cruyff is adamant the Champions League winners need to add strength in depth.
Arsene Wenger is desperate to keep Fabregas at Arsenal.
But Cruyff believes signing the Gunners star, 24, would mean midfield stars Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta and Xavi can be kept fresher during the season.
The Dutchman, 64, said: "If Cesc signs there will be four players for three places, which means all of them can share out a lot of games.
"There comes a stage in the season when everything is at stake but the team is out of gas.
"As good as the Barca players are - and they are good - there comes a time where they've played too many games.
"You need players not only to strengthen competition but also to move things around without upsetting the team's rhythm."
