But it's nothing to worry about, no current player has been tempted to leave as yet. Gio van Bronckhorst, who spent last season on loan  at the Nou Camp, has now signed a proper 3-year deal with Barca.<p>Earlier in the season he'd been talking about returning to London, but as it went on it became clear that he was happy at his new club where he has gone from being an Arsenal fringe-player to an important regular member of the Barcelona side.<p>To many Arsenal fans, it will come as a surprise that he was still on our books.</td></tr></table>
