I think his ball control is just fine. It is more like he can't go the intensity for 90 minutes at full pace. A shame considering he has only just turned 30. But he could play this elite-joker role for like another 6,7 years.

Last year Mou tried to play him as no 10 and that does not suit his game. He does not have the dribbling and the ball control of a no 10. He is much better starting deep and make forward run

Peace.
Peace.

I saw numerous comments raising the question as to how would Fabregas fit in a Mourinho's team if Juan Mata (and to a lesser extent de Bruyne) could not. It is to misunderstand what was the situation

FABREGAS' PL SEASON

Games started: 10
Substitute appearances: 15
Goals scored: 4
Assists: 9
Chances created: 43
Expand  

That assist count gets more impressive when you look deeper into it. He's played only 1047 minutes in the Premier League this season and only 3 players have more assists than him. All 3 played significantly more than he has as well - De Bruyne (13 assists - 2533 minutes), Eriksen (12 assists - 2987 mins), Sigurdsson (12 assists - 3059 mins).

Completely agree. In the beginning I thought we can get away with not having fab in our team because we can create ton of chances with 343. But as teams start to adapt to this tactic we are back to our old selves, we looks clueless without fab.

He's one player I hope we don't let go unless we get another playmaker. 

Expand  

Even if we do get another playmaker, I don't think we should sell Fabregas. Can't go wrong with having 2 in the team, especially when we'll be playing more games and rotating more next season.

It all depends on what happens in the summer tbh. I can't see Cesc or the club turning down £25-30m (from Milan) for a bench player as of now.

He's not strictly a bench player like say Batshuayi, is he? He's been used quite a bit as a starter and substitute and think Conte has balanced that quite well.

Cesc probably wants to be a starter more often than not at his supposed peak. That isn't going to happen here IMO. I would personal want him to be starting ahead of Matic myself, but result come first.

If you put it that way, then yeah we probably can't do much if Fabregas wants to leave but if that's not the case, then I don't think we should sell him.

I'm in agreement. The ball really is in Fabregas' hands in the summer.

Why should it be a given that Matic starts ahead of him though? With all due respect to Matic, his overall level belongs to a club like Stoke or West Brom, not a top club aspiring to be in the top 4 four season after season and the CL trophy. Before Pedro scored against Everton, he was so useless. His only real skill is protecting the ball with his 'mighty' left foot and even then he fails time after time. Opponents' midfield players always target him as the weak link.  The only logical reason for him to start over Fabregas would be his height, cause I'm more than sure that Fabregas can defend just as well as him.

Conte just seems to be prefer him and it's shown in his number of starts.

Height, stamina, strength, less attack minded and his supposed defensive abilities. There's obviously a few reasons why he could be starting ahead of Cesc, but I seriously don't know what his role is anymore. The ability he showed when he return has seemingly gone.

I would only consider selling him if we bought Isco or Verratti as a replacement. We need to have atleast one creative option in our central midfield, because there are to many teams in PL that are happy to "park the bus" and get one point of us.
