Cesc Fàbregas

Or we could just be moving to a 4-3-3.

I would have thought that was obvious and really the best option since almost all our mids would be better suited and even Oscar.

However, Jose seems to believe 4-2-3-1 is the best formation ever. Every interview about formations and he waxes lyrical about the 4-2-3-1.

If we're going 4-3-3 get Witsel and be done with it. He's much better suited for Jose's style of play

Witsel - Matic - Fabregas in a 4-3-3 though...

It's hard to judge Fabregas at Barca, for one they play in a totally different way to us, not only that but they mostly played him as a false number 9 or pushed him up top to give Messi some space... i'm going to judge him from his time at Arsenal and i honestly think he would be perfect for us, he can play next to Matic and/or in the number 10 role. His vision and passing ability is something we've been crying out for all season, in fact not only last season but for the past few years, we now have someone who can dictate tempo and play of our games. No longer will the likes of Hazard or Oscar be forced to come deep to receive the ball...

According to Barca forums, he's rather poor at covering space and closing gaps, and isn't good at supporting Busquets in the transition from attack to defense.

He's basically another Mata, except in an even more vital position where workrate is needed. I'm a bit confused as to why Mou would want him, unless he wants to do a 4-3-3 which even then might be too offensive.

He's not an obscure youth player we shouldn't need to rely on the opinion of fans of the club he's leaving..he played 8 years in England,mostly as a CM. He played great here.

I think sport are absolutely rubbish from what ive seen people say

[bababoom 4,478]

Also can anyone translate this?

Also can anyone translate this?

"Barcelona will sell Cesc to buy Koke.

Auction for Cesc.

Mourinho is interested.

Who will pay more money?

Manchester 43M€

Chelsea 40M€

Arsenal 36M€"

Something like this. Papers also say what players or clubs want. To Barcelona and to Fabregas it's important that every one think that Fabregas has a lot of clubs interested in him.

prison break fans will know. He looks and acts like Kellerman. DOESN'T HE?! If he comes that is...

Aspi-Cahill_Terry_?

Matic,

Oscar_fabregas

Andre-Costa_-Eden.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

4-3-3 would make sense.

Courtois

Azpilicueta - Cahill - Terry - F.Luis

Matic

Fabregas - Oscar

Willian - Costa - Hazard

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Witsel - Matic - Fabregas in a 4-3-3 though...

In theory we could always buy POGBA/WITSEL and CESC, while selling Oscar, but obviously that wont happen. Not many clubs can say the same though

Right there with City or maybe even better as far as first XI.

And we'd still have Lukaku, Ramires, Schürrle etc on the bench!

Replacing a legend like Lampard, our best player ever, with this little cunt? This can't be right.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

True that?

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

It still hard to believe we're really after him for a moment. Is there any reliable source which confirm it yet? All I've seen it comes from unreliable newspapers and Twitter so far.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Nothing is in stone yet. I get the sentiment from those who oppose Cesc for sure... All I can say is wait till its official and trust Jose Mourinho, if he thinks Cesc is the one to succeed Frank then so be it.

[FabHazard 655]

i think that we will be going to a 433 formation....also terry won't start many games if we buy a LB..ivanovic won't be dropped...oscar will be either shipped out or won't start in big games
