Cesc Fàbregas

Just add Marin to it. Lol.

Poor guy, nobody wants him now.

I think to much is made of this 'hate' Mou and Cesc have for eachother, remember Eto'o?

That was years ago though, Fab just said Mou talked too much when Mou said ahead of Barca vs City game months ago that this Barca was the worst in a long time.

[Tomo 21,681]

just got a thought, what if matic gets injured for december-jan (the busiest of the months probably).

a pivot of fabregas-rambo? fabregas-mvg? rambo-mvg?

if we buy cesc, our system will solely be reliant on matic's fitness and form cos fabregas-rambo pivot looks worse than lamps-rambo and we all know how that turned out.

This will probably be where Tiago comes in, as he's fairly astute defensively. Also you mention the Rami-Lamps pivot, that wasn't actually that bad, if the Rami-Cesc pivot is on the same level then that won't be too bad a 'squad pivot combo' anyway.

Well, as I suspected. Jose is not too keen on Cesc.

If that´s the case, then how are these two gonna work together?

The amount of rumours linking him to every PL club and now us does seem like Fabregas' agent is making stories up to increase interest in him. Obviously Fabregas and Mata are different but some of the issues Mourinho had with Mata can be atrributed to Fabregas, Koke seems much more suited to Mourinho's system if we're going for a Spanish midfielder. Koke and Pogba are both better options for deeper roles in midfield I think and younger, Fabregas more talented in an attacking midfield role.

I dont see the club signing him if Mourinho doesn't want him as has happened in the past

Nothing winning games and massaging each others ego's won't sort out, Mou and Fergie started off badly, less than a year later they were playing 'who can give the other the best compliment'.

Ba,

The board has a lot to say, these days. Roman is not willing to accept all from Jose, I feel.

"sources in Portugal" I noticed in that article. That source is Goncalo Lopes on twitter who said he thinks its more a roman signing

[Magic Lamps 11,450]

Fabregas often labelled Lamps as his idol and thought "one day I'll get even better than him". compare Fabregas at 27, the eternal talent vs Lampard at 27 best midfielder in the world.

Amazing that people know what Roman thinks when he never speaks out.

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Chelsea are close in signing Barcelona midfielder and former Arsenal player Cesc Fabregas with the deal to be announced later this week. Kick Socca sources in Spain understand that Chelsea held talks with Fabregas and his agent Darren Dein last week and the player agreed on personal terms after undergoing successful medical tests.

People will only realise this when Costa or whoever's numbers decrease.

When Eto'o was fully fit we looked a much better side compared to when Torres played, heck even Torres when he got those unconditional minutes before Ba arrived bagged 11, and he's an absolute clown.

Im not saying Costa alone would suddenly turn us into Bayern, but i can't say he won't improve the team or his presence won't massively improve results because imo he will.

Contrary to rumour, Liverpool have not made an offer for Cesc Fabregas.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

You know what I used to think, and am probably right. Some of the journos who say "player doesnt want to go to club X" or manager doesnt want player Y, are fans of clubs also linked with said player and write the articles to convince themselves the player will join them. Sounds mad but... hey ho

Like John Cross.. I bet he was absolutely fuming writing the article that Wenger doesnt want Fabregas and he looks set for us

Chelsea are ready to offer 37 million euros for Fabregas(Video)

[Rom2013 446]

We started last season with:

Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Azpi/Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Oscar, Hazard, Willian, Torres/Etoo.

We will start the next one with something like:

Cech/Courtois, Azpi/Iva, Terry, Cahill, Filipe Luis, Matic, Cesc, Oscar, Hazard, Willian, Costa.

And maybe with players in the bench like Ramires, TIago, Schurrle, Lukaku, Zouma.

We improved from last season because we had a plan and had a more balanced team. This season we will have a hell of a team. It's not only Cesc, it's not only Costa, it's because we have 20 players capable of playing in any game. Next season if Hazard has a problem, or Oscar can't play for 2 months, or Ramires we won't have any problem.

A team like this is something really great.
