Cesc Fabregas is worth ________ to the club

I just saw (via the ol’ twitter) that Barca are upping their bid to £31m for Cesc. Regardless of whether this is true or not, it raises that annoyingly seasonal question:
How much is Cesc worth to the club?
I was considering writing a bigger background for this bit, including all the special goals he’s scored, [...]

Manchester United’s highly-rated winger, Luis Nani, doesn’t think he gets enough freedom from Sir Alex Ferguson to express himself on the pitch. When Cristiano Ronaldo first joined United back in 2003, he couldn’t go on a run without doing a number of step-overs and I’ll admit that I enjoyed it at times but it’s very…
