Cesc Fàbregas

[Special Juan 27,093]

Not sure about you lot but as each day passes I am gradually becoming more and more excited about seeing this lad play for us. I just see him playing those slide rule passes into our forwards and really being the dictator in this team and rotating that ball for fun.

Cannot wait for the season start.

[Donev 79]

Great addition. He`s a world class player and will surely have great impact next season.

[Shakez 755]

Our most exciting transfer since Eden Hazard imo

I don't like the cunt and I honestly highly doubt I ever will but I will postpone my hate for the good of the club

You're a lovely guy, you are

[LAB 1,030]

I can't wait for pre-season to get a sample of what he can do for us. Going to reach a whole new level of "weird" though with this one wearing the blue shirt.

[The Skipper 20,593]

A lot of people have forgotten how good this lad was in the PL. He was one of the best in the PL, like a top 3 player. He's going to be immense for us.

Can't be sure about that tho. I really hope he is but the circumstances are different here at Chelsea than they were at Arsenal. But I believe in his ability and think he will do just fine

Valid concerns, but I honestly believe he's going to do very well here.

[Fernando 6,375]

What about the fact that he's slow?

I thought we would play a fast agreesive high tempo game with a lot of pressing?

[Chelsea? 892]

compared to Ander Herrera, who's better?

Don't need to be fast to play pressing, high tempo team. Just look at Atletico and Koke. Modric for Madrid isnt fast either.

Cesc. By miles.

Yes but fabregas is like mata, can't defend....

He really isn't as slow as some make out to be here. True he doesn't have blistering pace like a Ramires but he's got respectable speed.

He's already used to the fast paced style of the PL. I wouldn't be too worried about that at all IMO.

[Pizy 17,860]

Through-balls. Exactly what a certain Diego Costa thrives on.

This should be a fun season.

Yes but he can't defend, hes a bit lazy like Ozil.

We got rid of kdb and mata because of that.

Mourinho didn't buy him to come and defend - his defensive work isn't amazing but it's adequate, just like someone like Modric's is. Just to reiterate: Mourinho bought him. Mourinho also thinks Ozil is the best number 10 in the world - he's bought him because he wanted him and because he thinks he can perform in the role he'll put him in. Don't know why you're worrying about that.

Bayern under JH also had players that aren't known for their pace in the midfield in Schweinsteiger and Kroos in his system but they still managed to implement a high press attacking system. It's a myth that you just need super fast players for something like that to work.
