OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Selling David Luiz, who was used more in CM than CB under Mourinho for 50m and signing Cesc Fabregas, for 3/5ths of the money is the best transfer move we've made in years. Outstanding midfield player, vision, goals and whatever else, he's brilliant. Great work again in the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team in the PL will be shitting bricks when we catch them on the counter.Every time Mourinho's Madrid countered the ball would go to Alonso and then.. well, you know the rest. I have a feeling Fabregas will be used similarly on the counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Buzz 487 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 What a day! Nice way to kickoff the World Cup with this news that pushes the Blues to being the favourite in the PL.My Arsenal friends have now moved to the 10th floor ledge. Won't take much more to go over. :blue scalf: :blue scalf: iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted June 13, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yup. Schurrle's runs off the ball and movements are just phenomenal, he'll truly benefit from someone like Cesc spraying it about from deep.hopefully Cesc will see him. It's frustrating and annoying how none, absolutely none of our players notice André's runs off the ball in like 90% of the time. I keep pulling my hair - I wonder how he must feel. Cesc has absolutely AMAZING vision and a he passes quite well imo, also, Schurrle is often so well positioned that you don't even need much of a great pass to find him in good positions, you just need to look to him and think. Still we those two of the things we failed the most last season: see and think. The Mak, Viper22, bababoom and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleO 192 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 gotta admit I didn't want him, but after all, I understand why José wanted him. he can play CDM/CM/CAM, he's an experienced player but still only 27, we got him for a reasonable price, he has PL experience (and Wenger must be SO gutted) and of course, he still has a lot of motivation as he hasn't won PL or CL. Big expectations..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I saw some stats somewhere that we had little to no through passes the entire last season. That meant when opponents sit deep, we could only pass wide and cross in or try to dribble. But now with Fabregas, he is a master at through passes straight to the striker from deep, whether chipped or low. And he is a damn good finisher from midfield, can initiate our counters with one long pass to hazard upfront. No longer we have to hope ramires to see schurle making the run or hope mikel to pass forward quickly. But now we have a linchpin passer and spanish vision to replicate koke passes to costa.

DYC. 7,542 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 This is what I'm looking forward to the most. His long passes are among the very best in the game. This has been and always will be Cesc's specialty. I've read so many comments saying how he's better as a 10. Absolutely not true. Fab is at his best right in the centre of the pitch. There he can receive the ball away from the crowded area, play it forward and join the attack from deep/making late runs. Even when he was playing as a 10 on paper, he would constantly drop deep.He's too slow (not physically, but mentally) for a true 10 and isn't the greatest at holding the ball in tight spaces. He can play there but he's simply not as good in that role. Fab likes to take his time on the ball, unless he spots a runner, and is much better coming at players.His style never suited Barca. He has always been so direct in his play and in his passing. He always wants to play it forward and reach the goal as quickly as possible. And Barca are anything but direct.And as for him being (physically) slow.. I find his lack of pace exaggerated but fair enough, he's not the fastest of players. But as the video above shows, the ball will always be faster than the players.I'm also convinced he'll surprise plenty of people on the defensive side on his game. He's very decent in this aspect and not nearly as bad as some make him out to be.
