Reddish-Blue 2,509 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It depends how you look at it. You have to look at the fact he wasn't really deployed in one position on a consistent basis. Sometimes he'd pair aside Sergio, other times he would be flanking Messi in a wider position and very rarely was he deployed in the centre of midfield in the areas that Xavi or Iniesta usually occupy. This coupled with a confidence factor didn't really help him perform at a level he's capable of.There's no denying his ability though. We saw it many times at Arsenal. One of my favourite goals by him was when, from kick off, he dribbled through the entire Tottenham team and scored a goal of absolute class. After witnessing him do that, along with the other qualities he has, I couldn't give a flying crap about any personal issues people have. He's an asset to any team because of the versatility he offers and for that reason he'd be a fantastic addition to this squad.That's disgusting. He's a classless character and doesn't deserve to wear the Chelsea jersey.I still remember him saying something racist about Kanoute's mother in the Sevilla vs Barcelona match..and when Kanoute approached Fabregas, gave him a light push...Fabregas fell to the floor like he was shot in the chest.Only blind fans will disregard a players character...it's not ALWAYS about football.

I put myself in that category. We'll say we hate a player, but if we sign them and they score 20 goals for us in a season, we'll chant their name regardless.The same way we shout "Torres, Torres, Torres" at the Bridge if he puts in a good showing.

Well I don't put myself in that category. Not all football fans are fickle. If I hate a player, I would NEVER chant his name.In Torres' case, I just clap when he gets subbed off.

Cesc insulted Kanoute but did not use racial slurs. Maybe 'cabrón'? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if an unpopular signings give us a higher chance of winning, then I don't particularly care. Backstreet09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 He's made no secret of his hate for Chelsea, so when some fans come along and say they want to sign him, I think it's quite embarrassing to be honest. Either that or they haven't been supporting Chelsea for too long...Yes, football is important, but so is having some fucking dignity.

haranr 485 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 He is nothing special! He is not good enough to even replace mata hazard or oscar so it doesnt matter he is a barca freak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beepu 1,714 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I dont know why people hate on Rafa because he said some things about the club and the fans, and do not want him at the club but not Fabregas who also said things about chelsea.

Yes, and in the end Rafa got us 4th place and a trophy and therefore earned the respect of quite a few fans who disliked him. Need I say more?

mediator 2,026 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 When does a guy character has anything to do with football? He's fucking awesome, even better than Mata and could play anywhere.Same could be said about Suarez. They should be rated on their performances on the field rather than anything else.Do you really want to rate players on their performance? What about Torres ?

Hutcho 8,443 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Expensive. A bit of an A-hole. Money would go to arsenal. Better, cheaper options out there imo.Would much rather have Modric, or gundogen or witsel to play in the pivot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascal Newton 33 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Don't want him. There's something about his face that makes me want to throw up at the thought of him wearing the Chelsea shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Newton 33 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I don't like how people are coming up The same way we shout "Torres, Torres, Torres" at the Bridge if he puts in a good showing. That's different. The only fault of Torres is that he isn't as good as we thought he would be. He never bad-mouthed the club. I'm not going to forgive someone for bad mouthing our club just because they came and gave us 20 assists/goals or won us a Europa league etc. Never!

Spike 12,049 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 He would probably spit on Ballack again if he were still here. Stay classy Cunt Fiberglass, stay classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need I say more?And deservedly so, but that is not what i meant. I meant that before Rafa came and when he just arrived nobody wanted him here because he said horrible things about us, even in the end after he earned the respect of some it was clear that he was still unwanted. Fabregas said some things as well, spat on ballack, etc. But some would welcome him. If attitude is not a problem in football then why the double standard? that is my only question. Im not against or for Fabregas, im just pointing out the double standard some people have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Barca fans seem fed up with him as he has failed to fully integrate into their team. Whistles from the Camp Nou crowd are a regular occurrence and reading through some of their forums shows a similar sentiment. He's not valued. He's become a scape-goat.I won't mind if we put in a cheeky bid for him. It's almost impossible but it's not beyond the realms of possibility with this stupid Barca board in charge. Of course, it's up to Cesc to make the right noises. He was regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world when at Arsenal, now no one even talks about him anymore. At Chelsea, we have everything in place to get him back to his previous level. Imagine this guy playing next to the likes of Matic.
