mate, Kante's signing has to go down as one of the major coups in world football, nevermind the 30 million, thats a steal for a player of his caliber, this in a market that has highly inflated prices for players, Leicester must be kicking themselves everyday, altough they are the ones who found him 1st and bought him much more cheaply, but he still didn't have the bagage he has when signed for us. Pulisic i hope he works out for us, i really do, i will hold my judgement until when he starts playing for us, the kid has a lot of talent no doubt.

We do get good signings for around that £30mill mark. All 3 we mentioned have been similar price.

Did our homework. Knew what we needed. Got our targets set early. And they were ours.

Makes it sound easy lol

To be fair for every 5 signings we usually make at least 2 are hits. It's just that our high profile misses are highlighted more. Even the so called terrible players at the moment like Alonso and Willian have contributed to some of our success. Other than that Djilobodji summer we have usually been able to get at least 1or 2 transfers spot on since we signed hazard and the other guys in 2012

LOL But  even when we get it wrong we do it proper!

@Unionjack was just watching those cesc gifs, that sublime pass to split open Burnley's backline for Schurrles goal is his best one for us, also that long ball to Costa against Arse was precise and pinpoint, that is the quality that Cesc possesses, not many players in world football can pass the ball like that with so much accuracy, this is one area we definitely need to access in the transfer market.

I personally have no idea on top of my head anybody that we can realistically sign that can provide fabregas passing quality.

I read a while ago that Fabregas said that it is a shame that Sarri did not come to coach him earlier, and he is going to be spectacular playing either jorginho or kovacic position.

Ive always loved him bud. Standing in the North Bank watching him. Was a great player.

Always sad seeing a player getting slower but hes still got a gentle touch,a great footballing head and a real leader.

I threw a party when we signed him and Diego. A great partnership.

Signings that brought us two epl titles

I wonder what the wonderful board are thinking of a back up plan for Jorginho, if looking likely the magic man goes , seeing Sarri said we only have them  2 for that position ! Leaving now seems silly unless we have something lol planned , mmm dubious we will get an upgrade in January

Just hope this story is true...

I think kovacic can play jorginho role,if I am not wrong I saw him play that position with Real

I did suggest it once when he joined us, He certainly can pass. Has a good head. And would be good defending.

Cesc Fabregas is set to make his final appearance for Chelsea against Nottingham Forest, according to Sky sources.

Yeah i suggested that myself some weeks ago, seems better role for him , the last third he seems pretty ineffective in the whole,  playing Jorgy,Kante,and Kovacic should be played certain games.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

I'm not sure if Kova can play that role. Thus far he hasn't showed much creativity but maybe that's also down to the role he has been playing this season

[manpe 10,861]

Prime Fab was something else when we signed him in 2014. Best passer I've seen in Chelsea. The way he whipped those long floating balls over the top accurately... I've not seen anybody do it so effortlessly. It's a shame he's fallen off, that Fabregas would bench Jorginho. I've given him some stick for some of the shit he's done or said, but all in all it doesn't erase his contribution in the last 4 years, and I must say I never thought an Arsenal legend and Barca boy would become a fan favourite, including mine.

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Awwww no more magic hat! 

[Pizy 18,907]

Be sad to see him leave. Could've been very useful in the EL and non-PL competitions the rest of this season. But it's clearly his choice to go and play regularly.

Must be painful to be like Cesc, Moses, and Christensen who played nearly every week one season and just never playing at all the next. Don't blame them at all for wanting out.

From absolutely loathed him as Arsenal/Barca player to love him as a Chelsea legend, you have completely won my heart Cesc. All the very best, gonna miss you.

And Azpi the last man on the pitch with him saluting the crowd. Says a lot about him too.

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

Big loss. Especially his winners mentality. His legs may have slowed down but theres no doubt he is still a very good player who can cut teams open.

Fabregas Is Magic, he wears a magic hat! [emoji145][emoji2357]

It's ironic given his ties coming through the ranks at Arsenal and at times carrying a pretty average side towards the end of his time there, to then his hometown club and the dream move of Barcelona, that when he looks back at the end of his career he will probably see the most successful and enjoyable part of his career here at a club that he clearly didn't like when he was at Arsenal and Barcelona, and we in turn didn't like him.

If a player gives their all for this club and shows respect, they are always welcomed back here and treated like royalty. The likes of Gullit, Vialli, Desailly, Ballack had far more success away from this club but Chelsea holds a special place in all of their hearts because of the way they were and are treated by us fans. Fabregas is no exception. He deserves every ounce of respect, appreciation and admiration from us all and good luck to him.
