Someone needs to force Cesc, Obi and Matic to watch Motta's performance at least 20 times over. Midfield masterclass. I like Cesc but to build a team around him? Give me a break. He's too limited. You compare him to Verratti and it's not even fair anymore.

Cesc playing a 2-man pivot was doomed to fail from day one. It was never a sustainable solution. He was a nice football brain, but he's laughable from an athletic perspective. Continuously bossed, bounced and abused by competent CL level midfield's. He's lucky Veratti didn't play today to embarrass him further.

Fabregas just not good enough, man. Nice technique but that's not enough at the top level against elite opposition.

We should cash in now while we still can. China?

We need to sell different players first imo. Cesc isn't one of our biggest problems.

He is a problem all the same. Biggest or smallest makes no difference. We need to get rid and we should do so while he has value.

I really don't think he has much value though. I'd rather give him a chance under Conte to see what he can do.

He's a problem next season only if we continue to play him in a two man midfield. He just can't play there against decent or better sides as he's so immobile. If we use him in a 4-3-3 with the proper players around him doing the leg work whilst allowing him to do what he does best then he's one of our best players.

I hope to see him in our shirt next season.

This is why I don't him here. You can't be a top player if you need several babysitters.

Fabregas is the embodiment of what's wrong with our team. A supposedly top player that has so many flaws that his reputation far exceeds his actual ability and contribution.

It used to be Oscar but the general consensus now is that he's shit.

Pirlo needed also "babysitters" and Pirlo was considered to be one of the best playmakers at his time.He had basically the same problem as Cesc due to the fact that Pirlo is also quite immobile and not the best dribbler in the world,but when players like Vidal,Pogba or Marchsio started to protect him,Juve started to play really,really well.If we lose Cesc,we will have no creativity in our midfiled and there is no player in the transfer market out there that has at least half the creativity of Cesc.

Thing is, when he's able to do his thing he's one of the best players in the PL. Surely he's still valuable to us going forward.

Players like Matić, Cahill, Oscar, and Ivanovic are what's wrong with our team. Players who are either ultra limited or just plain mediocre. Cesc has been borderline great since Mou left. Put him in the best circumstances to succeed and he thrives.

Cesc is a good Premier League player and no more.

abregas is our most technique c.c. , sell him would be very stupid! several here saying he isn't good enough, but he is a player with wonderful skill pass and vision, the problem? if willian pedro and hazard dont do movement in attack, making space, fabregas how can make a good pass with a 3/4  blocked?

Mate, seeing as we'll only have that to worry about we should keep him.
