Don't forget, it was C.Ronaldo's "dream" to play for Real Madrid but that didn't happen, did it? Countless players have said its their dream to play for a club or retire at their boyhood club, but is doesnt mean anything. Xavi is just telling the Barca press and fans what they want to hear. Fergie is a long term admirer of the playmaker, and i'm sure Xavi would rather play for Utd than Chelsea if a decision was to be made. He probably won't leave Barcelona though
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha%%%
I am a chelsea fan but what i think the team needs most is a very good and fast attacker not a midfielder
