Why did Roberto Martinez give him the n10 jersey?

Iniesta has been on a decline similar to ribery and sergio is good under one specific system..... If it was me, I would drop all the barca players in the midfield and put javi martinez, koke and thiago as the 3... However, I doubt iniesta and busquets will get dropped anytime soon.

What is Cesc better than Thiago at? One touch play: thiago Short passes:thiago Long passes: I guess Cesc Dribbling:Thiago Vision: Thiago Creativity:Thiago Flair:Thiago Speed/agility:Thiago Strength:Cesc Tackling:Cesc Technique: Thiago Shooting:Cesc Leadership:Thiago Pretty much cesc vs thiago is exactly what mata vs silva is.... Mata is going to give you better stats, but SIlva is the better team player and overall player.. (I remember when this board honestly thought Mata was better than Silva).

Ozil to Munich...... Pep going to buy every midfielder available and if this sale goes thru, Wenger will regret not buying Cesc. DM jack-Cesc walcott-Giroud-sanchez Looked pretty good on paper.

Stat wise, no... However, i think i replied incorrectly. What i meant was Thiago was better for barcelona than cesc was at the time. So, he's attributes were more barca suited than cesc was at that age, so he was "better."... I still think thiago overall is better now than Cesc at his prime. Thiago is the reason why losing Kroos wasn't significant at all to munich..THIAGO BACK!

CAVANI +COSTA... One can dream.

Didnt ake immediately play for first team though? Thiago went thru barca b for a few years...

I remember this prior to signing Cesc... http://www.barcaforum.com/showthread.php/6964-Cesc-Fabregas-or-Thiago-Alcantara A lot of people from barca felt thiago was already the better player for them even with cesc world class stats at arsenal.. There was also another article from a catalan supporter concerning the situation http://www.barcablaugranes.com/2011/6/26/2244275/fc-barcelona-european-champion-thiago-alcantara-is-better-than-cesc Same people said thiago would rot on the bench at munich, yet outplayed and started instead...

Raibot looks like a good prospect. Roma is getting another good young midifielder...

Xabi alonso was the best cm in the league.... Thiago wasn't part of a youth/fiscal generation of arsenal, he was part of the prime years of barcelona....

When Oscar plays a million games vs sterling who played 1 a week.......

Jose >Your logic.

lol..... Israel did pretty good in the world cup.

You can see it.... neymar never played for barca, but barca were willing to spend big because everyone knew neymar was the best young player in the world. In spain, especially catalonia, thiago was the best kid to come out of the academy since messi. thiago specialized in one touch football, something barca excels at, something cesc never excel at... Just because he had better stats, doesnt make him the better player for a specific system..

Can hazard and kdb coexist and be effecitve together you think?

Well, the cms tick well as does miralles/mertens... Its just hazard and lukaku i think that doesnt..

Lol, he misses pk in the first final and is mia in the final last season. He won the award 1x., because he cried about it publicly. Scored about 10 goals against shit team in the group stages....

Do people honestly think that guys like Oscar and Willian want to press all game long or they do what they manager wants them to do? Im sure if both were given a free role, than people wouldnt be complaining so much about either of them....

logic is his strongpoint.

I read raibot signed for roma already.. Does anyone know if this is true?

Well, your manager needs to provide favorable tactics for eden to showcase his ability. So, as long as you guys have wilmots, hazard will never be a superstar in international showcase.

cesc wont start as the cam under jose.... Nor will hazard. Chelsea can move to 4-3-3 and buy another cm in the likes of the juve 2...

+and hair.... When both come back, is naiggolan still on the team?

TBH, when I watched the world cup, miralles and mertens were better than hazard and work better in the system currently employed. Similar to lukaku and origi... Hazard the better player, but under wilmot's belgium, i think the other two are more effective.
