On paper, Nainggolan could be our Busquets, Cesc our Rakitic, and Pjanic our Iniesta. A shield/worker and two magicians. A bit like Conte had with Vidal, Pogba, and Pirlo.

But Nainggolan is more a B2B midfielder rather than a midfield protector like Busquets. You know that. All the 3 that you named like to get forward and they are different from the Juventus trio you mentioned.

Fabregas. It's his best position.

i was thinking that myself i like to see chelsea going back into the 4-3-3 formation again i would sell oscar to balance the books theres no need for him if we do play the 4-3-3 formation

There's no way we can play Pjanic AND Fabregas together..that'd be a defensive nightmare. 

Hopefully this means the club is already looking to move on from Cesc, which would be a great sign. I thank him for his vital performances last season in firing us to the title. But Fabregas is our version of Man United's RVP. He helped for one season, but then became a massive liability the following season when the going got tough. I know this comes across as being the 'ol' fickle fan' (and admittedly, Cesc has been playing well this second half of the season), but we simply cannot go on having physically immobile players run our midfield.

Chelsea seriously need to find midfielders in the molds of Ballack/Lampard and Essien...or like (Toure/Payet/Silva/Ozil) . Players who are dynamic both physically and technically. I'm not even sure I necessarily want Pjanic either, because again, he has the same physical limitations as Cesc. He'll easily get bullied off the ball time and time again. (If someone who watches AS Roma often knows more, i'm all ease.) 

At the end of the day, too many of our midfielders are too limited. Cesc get's easily flustered when he's pressed. Oscar's touch is poor, and get's bullied physically too often. Matic takes wayyy too much time to make his mind up when on the ball, and his positioning has been erratic all season. 

Hazard/Willian/Mikel (at times) are the only complete midfielders we have, for they can all pass, and can keep possession under pressure.

I think you could play Pjanic and Fabs together, but only in a 433 with a defensive midfielder behind them (not Nainggolan or another box to box, a real defensive midfielder).  I like Pjanic.  He could also take set-pieces for us.  https://www.whoscored.com/News/3hg891ee9ee4ka5mkl7pja/Show/Player-Focus-Messi-Ronaldo-Cant-Compete-Among-Best-Free-Kick-Takers

Selling Cesc would be ridiculous, if anything we should try and build a team around him like Juve did with Pirlo. Cesc has his flaws, obviously, but his playmaking skills is second to none.

Imagine we actually get Pjanic and Vidal/Naingollan while offloading Matic and Oscar.

So he apparently 'Liked' a twitter post saying he would be perfect for us.its created a buzz in the Italian press. The guy must be bonkers if he didn't think it wouldn't create a stir. It kinda makes me think theres not always smoke without fire and Conte or a Blues rep just might have touched base with him eh?

I think Pjanic is one of the best options in the market for us especially for €31 millions. My only concern is that this may affect RLC carrer.
