[Sikeliot]

Med with Atlantid and Baskid influences.

Another face I cannot picture outside of Iberia.

If I didn't know who he is, I'd have said Greek. :p

I still don't rule it out.

[Aivap]

perhaps he's a mix of mediterranean and cromagnoid, but his look is not common in Spain from what I' ve seen there.

[heyaitsme]

He has an interesting look.

[Prince Carlo]

If I didn't know who he is, I'd have said Greek. :p

Not very Greek looking neither.

[Turkophagos]

R1b superman.

[GeistFaust]

Atlanto-Mediterranid/Atlanto-Baskid.

[Siginulfo]

Atlanto-Med.

[Comte Arnau]

Not very Greek looking neither.

Well, I guess that my saying that is because I can't help associating him with the Greek-Australian actor Alex Dimitriades. :D

[пустиняк]

you shouldn't leave Arsenal traitor :lol:

[Comte Arnau]

Well, he shouldn't have left Barcelona on the first place. He just came back home.

[пустиняк]

For classification I would say Small-Mediteranean + Cromagnid

Count I was joking I don't care I don't like both of the teams very much

[Prince Carlo]

They have the same skintone, but the facial features are different.

Really? If I saw this picture, I wouldn't be that sure. :D

(Of course I'm talking about the younger Dimitriades. He's changed now)

[Sikeliot]

Fabregas has a look that is more distinctly Iberian (look at him next to Cristiano Ronaldo, they aren't that different minus non-European influences very slight in the latter).

[Tchek]

First time I heard about him (when he was bought by Arsenal long time ago) I'd have sworn he was Greek, but I think it's due to the name.

[exceeder]

atlanto-med + dinarid.

[Rouxinol]

I think he is a standard Gracile-Mediterranid (West Mediterranid) with slight Atlanto-Mediterranid tendencies and mild Cro-Magnid influences. The typical Iberian torero stereotype.

[leisitox]

Atlanto-baskid, thats what I call "greek nose" :D

[Comte Arnau]

Count I was joking I don't care I don't like both of the teams very much

For not liking it, you have an avatar of a great Bulgarian in his best years at Barça. ;)

:confused:

Francesc Fàbregas i Soler. A name more Catalan than the pa amb tomàquet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pa_amb_tom%C3%A0quet).

[perikolez]

He is a overrated player. When he played in Arsenal , he was considered a world top class player , although he wasnt able to win many titles. Many though that he was as good as Messi:p. He is a good player but not top player.

[Jack B]

Might not be Messi but he was a pretty good finisher for Arsenal

I'm not really acquainted with Catalan names. It just ended in -as and so I assumed he was Greek :)

There is a player in the belgian national team, Kevin Mirallas. Spanish origin, yet in France everyone was saying he was of Greek origin, just because the -as suffix

He's a very good player and would stand out as one of the best in every team other than Barcelona. Barça having him as a sub -or Spain now in the Euro- is a sign of quality.

If some of the considered great players in some European teams would be playing in Barça, you'd also think they're overrated.

I see now. But weren't all Greeks called somethingpoulos? :D

In fact, with modern Catalan spelling, his surname should be Fàbregues.

There's not an identifiable patronymic in Catalan surnames as there is in other languages of Europe (-poulos in Greek, -sson/sen in Swedish and Danish, -ez/-es in Spanish and Portuguese, -sky/-ov/-ic in Slavic countries...). There are rather some common suffixes, as in French or Italian, such as -ó, -í, and specially -er/-é for surnames meaning professions (Piqué means Quarryman). In a sense, we're more similar to the French in naming, them using -on/-in/-ier. We adapted some Spanish surnames, like Llopis from López, Peris from Pérez, but they're uncommon.

Many others are just qualities or placenames. Carles Puyol would be Charles Hill. :D

[Ibericus]

My classification : Good spanish player.

[Davy Jones's Locker]

Pred Gracile-Mediterranean.

[Anthropologique]

He looks Medish with CM. His overall appearance is somewhat Greek, IMO.

[Amun]

Atlantid Med/Berberid

[BLUEU]

Atlanto-Med/Baskid.

[tEhSaint]

med something

[Roy]

AtlantoMed-Baskid

[safinator]

Mediterranid

[aherne]

Nothing "Atlantid" about him. He looks Greek or Turkish. Atypical individual!

[WOOHP]

Gracile Med + Baskid, typical for Iberia.

[Ianus]

Atlantomed+minor Berid

[oh-nahhh]

Atlanto-Mediterranean.

[Kalimtari]

med-din

[Borna]

Good slave.

[Midori]

Mediterranid.

[Farah]

Med with Atlantid and Baskid influences.

Another face I cannot picture outside of Iberia.

He's quite goodlooking. He can actually pass in Lebanon. (Not saying he's East-Med!) Just that I always commented that he looks like he can be Lebanese.

[Cristiano viejo]

He's quite goodlooking. He can actually pass in Lebanon. (Not saying he's East-Med!) Just that I always commented that he looks like he can be Lebanese.
I think that his wife is Lebanese.
My shoe is more handsome than him.

[Comte Arnau]

Well I've always found him very East-Med too.

[Newsboy]

His girlfriend is Lebanese.

I agree with Comte Arnau. He looks pretty eastern Med. Uncommon, but not unheard of. Xavi is another example.

Passes as Greek. IMO Cyprus is even a better fit. Probably also passes in Lebanon as a non-Arabid influenced type.

[jmls]

Med-Berberid

[The Blade]

Gracile Med.

[PT Tagus]

Dark Gracile-Med
