Cesc Fàbregas

Looks like Cesc likes not only Lebanese women, but Lebanese food as well

we're soulmates, Cho Chou, the same time you were mentioning me here, I was tweeting you about the same thing.

Let's get married - I'll make an exception about the spiritual sides of our lives. No hugging is assured, unless you ask

Well, today we played Matic-Fabregas pivot against a much stronger opposition than Ljubljana, and so far so good. It's just preseason, of course, but it's a positive sign that on the occasions we used such a double pivot, it worked very well.

The understanding between Cesc-Costa and Cesc-Oscar also looks very promising and should only improve with time.

Preseason or not, we need someone to get the ball to the attacking players. Fabregas can do this.

But if Fabregas plays higher up the pitch, then we have the same problems of slow build up, no creativity from deep etc that we have always had.

we only have that problem if we stay with Mikel

Yeah, with the latest kids being added to the mix and having had some impact - good or bad, depending on who - not much attention has been paid to him, but your point is perfect.

Once again deployed in the pivot, once again didn't compromise and had a solid match alongside Matic. Maybe it's wishful thinking or bias on my part, as I've been a broken record about a midfield with Matic, Cesc and Oscar, but I think Oscar's presence already made the Matic/Cesc pivot look better. Many times Oscar simply dropped deep and allowed Cesc to run higher. It's so natural for Oscar to do that which is why I've been saying since the beginning that he would make up for Cesc defensively and Cesc would maek up for him offensively and they would improve each other. Now I only need to know if that really happened or is if I'm seeing what I want to see

What a fucking player... Delighted he's signed.

[HD3D 1,038]

Imagine Fabregas sticking that one in on Arsenal.

O.M.G.... I think I would die! :D

Still over the moon Cesc is our player now. I am not lying when I say that I can pretty nicely guess who will we try to sign but I never would've expected Fabregas transfer to happen. Not that I thought we couldn't sign him, but I simply forgot about him since he got overshadowed by Barca stars.

Amazing player, I expect him to become our most important player easily and what's much more important is that other offensive players will get much more space and better passes with Cesc in the team.

And damn he was brilliant in the last game. That goal - take a bow son !

somehow earlier this week there were people questioning it and even suggesting players we should STILL sign to play central midfield...

After I got over we were signing an ex-Arse, I made him my fave player, during the first week of the WC - while he didn't even play for Spain (as del Bosque is clueless) and before one second of Chelsea football. It's easy for me to worship him now because I believed this would be the signing of the summer the moment it happened and I've stated it a few times ever since.

Diego Costa is very important but no amount of world class strikers can solve all of our problems if they don't get quality balls passed to them and we now have someone that excels in that. I hope his attitude and his quality fire up our AMs and lead them to produce better than they did last season, instead of adding only Cesc's quality to our transition and attack setup.

This guy is immense and he's indeed my fave player in the squad. I love everything about him - except the haircut.

As I said before, cesc or matic should take the armband when Jt retires

First choice is Cesc though.
