Cesc Fàbregas

[King11Didier 916]

World class player. Hope he stays with us for at least one more season.

Think he suits playing a slightly more advanced role close to Costa and Hazard in all honesty because he can get in those half spaces and find the runs from those two but Pedro looked decent against Everton and provides a good goal threat so its a tough choice.

Play Cesc instead of Matic. Simples. Especially if you know that the opposition is going to sit back and defend deep.

LOL!

I'm pretty sure Fabregas wants to add the CL to his CV 

[Thor 2,392]

He is great to have in the squad. Definitely not a nailed on starter, but a fantastic option to have in your squad to break down smaller teams, or change the dynamic in the midfield. 

 

He has been brilliant again this season. I think less game time, less fatigue and less stress on the body has definitely helped him. He looks fresh and a lot quicker on the field these days.

What's the point in comparing them?

[The Skipper 20,593]

Would be amazing if he managed to get in double digits for assists in the league despite lack of game time this season.

Exactly this, I don't understand the calls to turn him back into a starter, he's far too big a liability athletically for that.

Im hoping he accepts this role beyond this season and what might spin his decision in our favour is that we are his best shot at giving him a CL medal before he retires.

[The Skipper 20,593]

He could easily be a starter in a 352. Contrary to what many think on here, I think he'd make a great regista.

He must stay with us, no matter what.

By far the smartest player that we have. 

I wish he were either more athletic or has tighter ball control

I think his ball control is just fine. It is more like he can't go the intensity for 90 minutes at full pace. A shame considering he has only just turned 30. But he could play this elite-joker role for like another 6,7 years. 

[Pizy 18,360]

Like Willian, the club shouldn't even consider selling Fabregas. They are both fantastic options to have in the squad.

Cesc, especially is the ultimate Plan B player. There are very few players in Europe with his skill set so it's not like we could go out and get another pass master type guy.

[Special Juan 27,419]

Quite intriguing listening Antonio talk about a question regarding Cesc today we he explained brilliantly. The question was asked whether he can keep Cesc happy by just playing him from the bench and also starting the odd game. Antonio said that he is wanting a winning mentality from everyone and it's not about keeping people happy but driving them to work hard, if they work hard they win things, then they should be happy. If they want to be happy, they work hard and the rest will follow. He said keeping 20+ plus players happy is not easy, it's his job to make them winners and prepare them.
