iseah100 5,612 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It's funny to me that people are more excited about a possible Pogba signing than the actual signing of an immense player. This is a player who can play multiple positions, was on the UEFA team of the year TWICE has won everything and is still only 27. "Grass ishe always greener" plus they've gotten over the euphoria of that signing. And Oscar has been shit so some think he'll replace him.

Popular Post! BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 9, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 9, 2014 Not been so excited about a signing in years. Think this surpasses the Hazard signing, who we all knew would take time to settle. You know what you're getting with Cesc - a world-class, proven, homegrown Premier League player. So fucking excited to see him start games for us. Should be reasonably fresh as he was spared at the WC.

Barbara 15,149 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I reckon Fabregas should be used in a 4-3-3 interchanging positions dynamically with Oscar depending on the situation or the team we're facing. Let's say we're playing against a side that has a Mata type of player as their cam and a creative player at the pivot, a deep-lying playmaker if you will - in the mold of Pirlo or Xabi Alonso. In this kind of situation it would be wiser to have Fabregas deeper than Oscar, that way he will avoid their pivot which more likely than not are better at defending than their CAM, which is Mata-esque, providing him more time on the ball to make plays and impact the game and at the same time we can use Oscar to shut down their deep-lying playmaker. If we're playing a team that park the bus or doesn't have a particular strong creative player in their pivot than Fabregas would play further up the pitch and so on. The reason why deep-lying playmakers were ever used was to avoid defensive midfielders in the first place, so it makes sense. Besides, Fabregas has some of the best long balls and through balls I have ever seen, he would definitely work fine there.I also believe Oscar and Fabregas are tactically smart enough to make these transitions or cover for each other seamlessly throughout the match. In the game vs. Colombia, Oscar played almost as a pivot player, covering for players from the back going forward all the time, which means he could cover for Fabregas whenever Fabregas saw an opportunity to bomb forward.This 4-3-3 would consist of Matic, Fabregas and Oscar in the middle, Hazard, Costa/Ba/Lukaku and Schürrle/Willian upfront. A scary line-up in my eyes. perfect postI can't wait until July 21st - when he's set to join the pre-season. Like Alex, I haven't been this excited about a signing since forever, lol. I was pretty excited about Matic, but Cesc is another level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper22 2,418 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Can't wait to get a proper picture of him in a Chelsea shirt. I need it to bait my Arsenal mate (the same one who owes me £50 from betting that Arsenal would finish above us last season). Maybe i'll give him the picture as a receipt?

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I keep forgetting we have signed Fabregas already. Mental stuff considering the quality of the player, but its more because of all the rumours/world cup going on/ players leaving etc, lots to digest as a football/Chelsea fan!... It's always a nice reminder seeing him holding the Chels shirt up! Can't wait to see him play and still can't believe we have him! Huzzah!
