Yeah, a new controller and a right sided forward should be priorities. 

In a perfect world those would be either Thiago  from Bayern or Pjanic from Juve for PMCMF, and for RW Leon Bailey from Bayer Leverkusen or Malcom from Bordeaux. I am not holding my breath.

I think Sarri will breath a new lease of life into him. There is plenty left that Cesc can offer in a more offensive team. 

Also with Jorginho coming and Kante, a 3 man MF with Cesc being given a chance to play further up could be an excellent option. Yes it would be lightweight but when we are chasing games or against smaller teams? Absolutely, why not?

I wouldn't mind Fab as a rotational player one bit. Kante, Jorginho, Cesc would obliterate all smaller bus parking teams. Golovin to play in tougher games with Fabregas a super sub. Question is would he accept this role? There are plenty of minutes to play across the season, so hopefully yes.

I like Cesc and think he could still do a job for us but keeping him wouldn`t be the best for the long term good of Chelsea..for next season alone yes.but with those games in the Europa cup,Milk cup etc...I think it would be better to play Barkley/RLC  etc.. for me this upcoming season we could do a lot of good for our longterm future by giving our youngsters a chance over players winding down their careers in top flight football.

I can't see fabregas sticking around if Jorginho signs for us

And just to remind everyone, this guy is on £200k a week wages, making him one of top5 highest paid midfielders in the league

We need to stop thinking like a second rate club and thinking of offloading good players purely for wages. Cesc still has plenty to offer here, Jorginho coming in gives us a proper controlling midfielder and frees him up to do the more offensive stuff hes good at. Even if Cesc is a bench player and comes on as an impact sub he got like 12 assists the first year under Conte doing that, it makes absolutely no sense to offload him especially now we've got an offensive minded manager coming in and a controlling midfielder to take the burden off Cesc in terms of dictating games from a deeper position, it will give him a chance to get closer to Eden, Morata, the other offensive players and combine with them as well as get into the box. Also do you think Sarri comes in, knowing hes got a player with Cesc Fabregas' skill set and bins him instantly? No chance.

do u think cesc will be happy sitting around being a squad player I doubt that very much 

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

I don`t see Jorginho taking his spot.he`s taken Bakayoko`s spot. have hopefully Golovin and Barkley compete for the other spot..Cesc if he stays..Golovin could get enough games filling in at all 3 CM positions over the course of the season. 

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

He's staying. 

He'll be a valuable player coming off the bench and honestly what team is going to pay him the wages he's earning now ?

[Muzchap 8,966]

I still see comments about once a gooner always a gooner - so you don't think Cesc has helped Chelsea at all? He came here because he wanted to win in England and he has done.

He's been a good solid player for us - moaning about his defensive work is ridiculous, the guy doesn't defend well - he needs to be used like Pirlo.

He is without doubt the best passer in the team and he can unlock a game with 1 pass. You want to drop that from your team?

He didn't kick up a fuss in the first season under Conte and more importantly he forced himself into the team. He is a professional, regardless of what people think of him, he has never complained at being on the bench while here but instead always opted to say he will try force himself in and he did. His legs aren't what they used to be but he still can provide plenty to this team, selling him would be a huge mistake in my eyes. He is in a similar place to what Hamsik was in at Napoli, aging, people unsure if he could replicate his performances under a new manager, same old usual stuff but I think Sarri as a football manager who loves offensive football will love having an option like Cesc in his squad, in terms of technique and vision there aren't many MF players on the same level as him, so open him up in a team with 4/5 passing options, lots of interchanging, attacking intent and movement off the ball? He will definitely be useful from the start or from the bench. I don't think people appreciate what he can still offer because in a more reactive team with a 2 man MF he was too easily bypassed but in a 3 man MF with Jorginho and Kante? He will have more freedom, more licence to influence the play higher up the pitch because somebody is building from deeper (Jorginho). Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he replicates his level from that first year we signed him.

People talk about finally getting an offensive minded manager to free Eden up or whatever but Cesc could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Sarri coming in.

I agree. Cesc is not the wc players we all hiped he would be, not a leader or a runner but he is a great option from zhe bench and for the odd start. Can’t blame his attitude too. Has won it all and still raring to go and help the team

I am open minded and would be great
