Cesc Fàbregas

[The only place to be 11,313]

Bash? Where? Constructive posts are what I see, from me anyway.

I think its a shared opinion by most that he has not been up to par for quite a while now.

Anyways, Cesc topic.

Exactly.

Go into most pubs with Chelsea supporters and you'll see a lot of these types of debates about Oscar and other players. It doesn't mean all these blokes are 'bashing' these players or have agendas against them.

People on a forum discussing players in forthright terms....whatever next?

What does Oscar have to do with it? Seeing as Ramires took Oscar's place in a formation that Oscar would usually occupy, I'd say thats enough to rope Oscar into this and make some comparisons?

How long are we going to live off that goal against Juventus? Tactically he has more of a brain than Rami, much more infact however what else does he give us except slowing our play down and pressing that we can all agree is not as good or not as effective as it once was, lets not get hung up on stats.

Rami - can't make a two yard pass, offers penetration, drive.

Oscar - can make a pass, slows down play, presses the opposition.

My point is not to paint Rami as Ballon'dor lol but at the moment, he offers and brings more to the table than Oscar pros/cons wise, although as above, I do miss Oscar's tactical brain in dropping into the gaps defensively however I don't feel its enough to take a place in the team.

Your post had nothing to do with oscar, but as I laughed on it you brought Oscar into a convo about Ramires drive and penetration. It still doesn't have anything to do with oscar... Oscar and Ramires played together endless times and will play another bunch... I wouldn't be surprised if Mourinho played a 433 with oscar as 3rd midfielder and Ramires as a wing. Your assumption that Ramires replaces oscar in the most difficult matches and not a winger is only that, an assumption... we have a new style and things done last season may not happen again in this one. Maybe Ramires replaces Oscar, maybe Schürrle or maybe he doesn't start those matches. We'll find out in a couple of weeks. I still have no idea why you brought oscar in a conversation about what Ramires can offer or not.

Some of you look really obsessed about some players...

At least admit what you say and imply instead of playing the innocent card. My post had nothing to do with my love for oscar. Ramires isn't a threat for Oscar... and I'm a Chelsea fan, not a player's fan, whoever works better in the team has my approval and I'll be happy about it.

Pick out a few really good passes so far today. Just need a through ball for Costa to score with!

Shame I cant seem to go into any thread without seeing Oscar's name.

That was my reaction when I checked into Matic's thread only to find discussions about our little precious one of a kind talent .

No watch this turn into another oscar thread

Fabregas: Mourinho, Chelsea told me what I needed to hear

Q. When did you decide to go and why?

A. I started having the idea after the Copa Del Rey final, when I started thinking that there might be a change or it might not make sense to continue.

Q. Did you talk to Luis Enrique?

A. No. I informed the club a week after losing the League, from London, in the week off before the World Cup. I called Zubizarreta. And from the answer, I felt I was doing them a favor, it was good for them and for me. I talked to my manager and told him to look for a new team. The offer from Chelsea came and for me it was back to London, the place where I grew up. There was no better way out. I spoke with Mourinho and he told me things I needed to hear, I felt valued, I felt it would be an important part of something important.

Great to have him here, he will have a great season this.

Holy shit, The only place to be got perma'd!?

What happened?

[The Chels 2,502]

“Don’t think I didn’t think about it [playing for Arsenal’s rivals when I decided to join Chelsea]. I will keep the Gunner feeling forever and I know that I will return to Highbury [Emirates Stadium] and [it] will be a special moment, but I am a committed guy,” Fábregas said.

Highbury? Cesc doesn't even know where Arsenal play these days

Don't know.

I did saw a guy with the name TOPB and was wondering if it was him. I guess it must have been his new account since he got banned.

Anyhow

Oscar and Schürrle are still squad players for the big games. Look at Arsenal away, City Away, PSG away/home, Atletico away/home, Everton this weekend etc... and the results are there, why break it when it doesn't need fixing. Aside from the back four, Willian/Hazard/Ramires where almost always sure of a spot in these games. Im advocating for getting Oscar into the team in those matches but he'll have to fight for it and up his consistency same as Schürrle (though im not a big fan of the german).

Yea I don't know why.....

We're loosing personalities on the forum. Kojo, bushman toptb, bluemourinhoking, and many others.

I wish we could give increasing lengthy suspensions for each offense instead of total banning

Trolls and idiots like bushman fully deserved their bans, but TOPTB has been one of my favorite posters over the past couple of years.

He must've done something serious.

Gotta say it must be hard to be Cesc. It's very obvious he's trying to keep everyone happy: Arsenal fans, Chelsea fans, and Barcelona fans, but some people will still hear what they want to hear.

SKY headline for the same article: Cesc Fabregas says he is committed to Chelsea (Arsenal fans: "Traitor!")

Daily Mail headline: Cesc Fabregas reveals he 'will always feel like a Gunner' and it will be a 'special moment' returning to Arsenal with Chelsea (Arsenal fans: "Liar!")

In reality, it was just a small part of a big interview in which he was asked by the interviewer how a gunner can play for Chelsea. It's a very good interview, actually. He says all the right things. Even the gunner part is surprisingly all right.

Lads, I understand you may not of seen my post in another thread but please move on and stick to the topic in hand.

Thanks.
