Cesc Fàbregas

Wow, away for a few hours and we go from just dreaming about a signing to being favorites to actually get him. Trying hard not to get excited but can't help it.

[zolayes 14,489]

no we must wait for The Sun too. Fingers crossed!

Check out the Metro ... if there's nothing there he could be coming?

Well I remember reading that the odds was change because someone or a small group place a massive bet and so so.

Massive bet are usually made by those individuals who know information ahead of the public.

Yeah, that affects the odds, but then you also have a lot of people who aren't in the know putting £10, £20 on it. So cumulatively the odds of anything that's in this situation will increase.

You can't replace Lampard......

with Fabregas.

Tancredi just entered the game. That's how you know this isn't going to happen

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Maybe the Fabregas stuff has sped up with the club knowing Lamps was off

Great coup by the board if true!

As for Frank, there's no point commenting about it till it's official. It hurts too much right now. Let's just hope we see sense, give him a 1 year contract and the send off he deserves as out greatest ever legend.

Lampard out, Fabregas in? What a summer it'd be..

[Eggman 118]

Fabregas was often the weak link in Barça's team this year. Not really my first pick for CM.

Seems accurate, but why Cesc? Unless we plan on going big elsewhere I don't see why Fabregas is the guy who we've highlighted to replace Frank. 30m sounds good but we could easily go bigger.

[The only place to be 11,313]

This is just inevitable isn't it. Barca don't want him. Arsenal don't want him. City don't want him. Liverpool don't want him. United don't want him.

Koke doesn't want us.

Looking forward to the press conference when everyone has to pretend like this is a dream come true.

Who? Pogba and Vidal are ridiculous money and Koke is around 60 million euros (and would join Barca anyways). Fabregas is homegrown, can play the deeper role, knows the Premier League, knows London and by all accounts should be in his prime.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Remember this from Mourinho "I dont think it'll be a big summer, couple of clinical signings, but quiet otherwise" or words to those effect.

Lampard, Cole, Eto'o, Luiz gone already. He's such a blagger in the transfer windows lol

Pogba is homegrown too. I would rather him but we could definitely afford to pay more. Whatever, I don't make the decisions... If it were me Cesc wouldn't be high on my want list.

Toure, Song, Sanchez, Cesc, Ibra,...they all 'underperform' in barca because they play specific system...they simply dont suit that.

Anywhere else, they would/were/are be probably key players of their teams...

I realy wouldnt judge Cesc on Barca form, there everything spins around Messi and Xavi, Iniesta were successull enough because they played with Messi whole career. I doubt any CM will fit Barca if they keep tiki taka and always play on Messi. Koke will be same story if they keep that system IMO.

Fabregas was amazing in Arsenal, realy best CM of league together with Lamps for few years, if he can replicate that form, Im sure he will succeed here.
