Cesc Fàbregas

Antonio Conte has convinced Nemanja Matic to stay at #Chelsea and has instead offered Cesc Fabregas to former club Juventus. [Tuttosport]

He's always been a half a season player and last season we didn't even get that. 

Offers no energy or defensive attributes to make up for his dips in 'creative' form, making him practically useless for half a season every year.

I wouldn't be sad if he left.

As far as ability goes, I think he could be Pirlo-like if we surround him with 2 beasts live Juve did.

Wait, he wants to keep Matic over Fabregas?! . Boy that Italian stereotype really is coming to fruition lmao!! 

Anyway, I doubt this is true. Juventus don't need Fabregas, they've got Pjanic who's younger and perhaps more suited to Juve if anything. I don't have a problem with the guy being here, but he'll need protecting by Kante &/or Matic.

In fact, Fabregas has reportedly been offered to a total of four top European clubs, suggesting Conte wants the former Arsenal man gone before the summer transfer window closes.

Fabregas, knowing he doesn’t have the coach’s faith, could now be open to the idea of leaving Stamford Bridge - possibly for a return to Spain.

 

Hearing about a possible trade with James.

I think it would be a mistake for him to leave. I know that Oscar gives more intensity to a pressing game but Matic and Kante can offer that too, and I think the notion that Fabregas is a 'lazy' player is a myth as I've seen plenty of instances of him getting stuck in, making tackles.

I do feel last night when we started dropping off after 60-65 minutes and West Ham slowly were getting back into the game we missed Fabregas to wrestle control back our way and keep possession. 

4-3-3 is the best possible formation imo for him to thrive and I hope he stays and gets back in the team because I do think we're a better and more dangerous team with him than we are without him.

i have a weird feeling cesc is going to be in the starting xi on saturday. he is such a difficult player to fit around but matic + kante should free him of any really difficult defensive duties. 

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Must keep him. Oscar had a great game but it'd be naive to rely on him replicating that performance for the entirety of the season.

If Cesc doesn't work with the team, sell him next season but he's too good to not keep around at least one more season, especially if we're playing 4-3-3 now.

He is like Mata imo, a player who can't handle the physicality of the league. Having either in your squad means you need another player just to cover for their defensive inefficiency. I still think he should start over the woeful Matic and Oscar but he isn't really a world beater any more.

Is It True that he Suggested Himself to Real Madrid ?!

Either way still a really, really valuable player to have in the squad. Maybe not always as a starter against some of the more physical and pacey sides like West Ham were yesterday but definitely useful against sides that defend deep and "park the bus", forgive the cliché. And even in games where he's not starting he can come on in second half and change the game completely if the team are struggling to create chances. Just because he didn't make an appearance last night doesn't mean he won't be used in future games.

The press of Spain talks of a heated discussion between Cesc and Conte after the match.

They've tried to sign him before to be fair.
