Cesc Fàbregas

[Fernando 6,502]

Mourinho is a motivator, take what he says with a grain of salt. He also called Ozil the best no.10 in the world.

Your wrong, cause if he didn't believe it he wouldn't have gone after him.

Why not? he was available and relatively cheap and exactly the type of player we need. His mental qualities are next to impossible to assess until you work with him.

That's assuming you believe that Cesc is actually a competitive personality... I know I'd LIKE to believe that but I'm not so sure he is.

He probably is that but think it just needs to be fortified. After all, Wenger couldn't win anything for 8 years and even at Barcelona, trophies were hardly coming by easily in his time there. Bound not to be strong as it should and if there is a manager out there right now that can turn a player into a winner, then one would trust Mourinho to do so.

I'm just not 100% on this. Need to see it before I make a true assessment.

Its Mourinho "mind games", he got you all

Jose Mourinho's interest in Cesc Fabregas dates back to 2010, but player at that time only wanted Barcelona. Details in next tweet. #CFC

Mourinho tried to sign Fabregas while in charge of Real Madrid in Dec.2010, was also covered by Marca/Mundo Deportivo

lol, fab had a little dispute with Del Bosque?

Did he trying to say that Mourinho is better than Del Bosque right on his face?

[Daniel1980 1,425]

It doesn't really look like a dispute to me. lol The only thing I noticed was that even Fabregas looks very tall next to Xavi.

@ 1:03 ... Fab is a dawg

Apparently Del Bosque told 'lazy Cesc' to stop training.

He did say he was lazy and Marca reported there was a discussion afterwards

more details in the Spanish version

El jugador, muy molesto por su escasa participación en este Mundial, acusó al seleccionador de que tenía algo personal contra él. Del Bosque le contestó acusándole de egoísmo. Reina, que estaba cerca de la escena, quiso mediar para evitar otra escena ante los medios de comunicación. Un tenso encon- tronazo del que no habría que descartar consecuencias en el futuro. Pero no el primero de la mañana.

"The player was very upset about his small part in the WC and accused the manager of having something personal against him. Del Bosque fired back saying the player was selfish. Reina was near them and tried to stop them from making a scene in front of the media. It was a tense riff and one that might have consequences in the future although that wasn't the first episode of the morning"

The first episode is the one showed in the video and according to Marca del Bosque felt like Fàbregas was lazy, but the thing is Pique abandoned the session and their team then had one less player. It's a mess.

edit:

in different news... what a difference a month can make:

Don't want Fabregas anywhere near this club. For real. Few things would make me more upset than that.

Also I don't think he's as great as some of you think.

Get the cash, swap moves are rare anyway, the club is unlikely to make one.

I just can't wait to see this guy playing for us and wearing our shirt in a match. I'm counting the days. We won't ask if a prospect to the club can play in the pivot for a long while because we'll have it covered. It's a relief.

The moment I saw him with the Blue shirt and saw his facebook and twitter accounts all Blue, I was a goner.

It seems like my hate is too soft, hahahahaha.

Same here. Hated the little shit's guts when he was at Arsenal. But can't deny he's talented as hell, so I'm happy to have him now and don't even mind his ego.

In other words, Spain's team is a right mess. I wonder why Pique abandoned the session.

That explains why Fab left the session early, then. But it's not the first time I got the impression that del Bosque and Fabregas didn't get along, and I'm not really surprised to hear that Cesc was upset about his small part in the WC. Silva was terrible in both games, but del Bosque keeps starting him, for some reason.

Hardly a surprise when he also kept on starting Casillas despite his costly errors against Holland and Chile.

I was partially right. Haha

"I didn't remove Cesc's bib. It was a minor issue. There [sic] side was outnumbered and the team was down. I looked to Xabi Alonso for support. Nothing happened. I am grateful to them. I think about everyone and they think only of themselves."

"The thing with Cesc is a training ground issue. Pique was out and that side had been weakened. We simply asked him to change his bib to even the numbers and that's it. Not to take his ball and go home. All of the players have come with us for the match and yes, I said that the coach thinks about everyone and every player thinks about themselves."
