I agree mate fabregas needs upgraded everytime fabregas plays alongside Kante or Baka in a two man midfield are midfield gets over run I would go for goretzka 

Fabregas is a player with such an individual skillset that it is hard to simply upgrade on him. You probably rather buy an alternative to him someone who offers different qualities but you will bot get a better version of the same player. Goretzka is basically the German Bakayoko. Really similar players.

Do you think the board were into Bakayoko before Monaco's last season? I doubt it. I think they just threw money at a flavour of the month.

We can say the same for Kante also, but Kante turned out to be a great signing, right?
Even Conte said that he wanted to integrate him slowly into the starting 11, but with the sell of Matic, that wasn't possible. I agree he got some bad games, he hasn't proven his worth yet, but he got a surgery before the season, didn't manage to get a pre-season and now he has to play between 3 days. Not ideal for him and his fitness, that's why probably his performances suffer. But he is young and I think he can improve a lot under Conte and become a serious part of Chelsea team in the future.

Good quotes from him, sounds like he's aware of his limitations but is learning on how to improve.

Sergej Milinkovic Savic or Kovacic would be my picks. 

Sms is absolutely fantastic midfielder, Kovacic is too but I think it would be realy expensive and difficult to get him out of Madrid (but I can see him leave if he doesnt get enough playtime)

Sms is not really someone who will dictate the tempo though and I feel that is our biggest need right now. How about Oliver Torres or Seri?

Jean Michaël Seri Would be great signing get our super agent Drogba on the case and get him to join Chelsea 😃😃

People are hating on him already?? The fuck? He is probably exhausted from having to play next to Fabregas. He was poor yesterday but still had decent spells. Even Kante looks poor when paired with Fabregas.

Not worried about him at all. It's clearly going to take him a bit to fully settle in and develop. Something we knew when we bought him. Something Conte knew when we bought him which is why he said himself the idea was to keep Matic and slowly ease Baka in.

Had social media been big like 10-15 years ago, would have been fun to see all the initial reaction to Lampard, Drogba etc.

We witness that in pre season fabregas is better in three man midfield when fabregas plays in a midfield Duo Kante or Baka has to put in double the work rate in midfield which is impossible to do for Kante or Baka fabregas is great talent with the ball but without the ball he's useless in Duo midfield role

Kante looks worse with Cesc but not as much as Bakayoko. Right now we are playing with nobody in midfield. He is just awful for the past few games and theres no excuse.

Terrible performance yesterday, once again. He was just awful, a real embarrassment.

We keep buying the same type of midfielders, good "runner", "strong", "power"....with low IQ and football technique. I hope the board dont think Cesc can play until he is 50 years old. We need a similar player to Cesc who can start with Kante.
