4-3-3 with Cesc?

 

First choice midfield

 

-------Matic-----

Ramires---Fabregas

 

Willian-------Hazard

 

Second choice midfield:

 

-----------------Mikel-------

Chalobah/MvG------Oscar

 

Salah-------------Schurrle

 

Pretty good depth overall.

Em with all this news about cesc joining cfc, and hazard being handed the #10 jersey for this upcoming season...any chance Oscar will leave?

I don't think so, we're building a team.

Why would any of this mean Oscar is leaving ?

Come to the real team of London Cesc!

Lets pull the trigger on this, if it is going to happen, sooner rather than later eh please?

 

I'll do my best

We're 1/6 to sign Fabregas. That's pretty much a done deal.

 

Dicks out time, as Red Cafe say.

We'll see, won't believe it until I see something concrete

Remember most of the bookies suspended bets on Harry being England manager. Odds are not always a reliable source. Just means lots of people have put money on it, inside knowledge or not.

Well considering it was 1/3 the other day Im not that sure

He's 1/16 to join us on sky bet, he was 1/3 yesterday.

In other words he's very likely to join us now.

Great!

Odds are not necessarily an indication of anything other than the bookies think somebody will back an event at those odds, prime example are most next manager markets... Keane was about 1/33 for the Celtic job only a few days ago.

 

That said it would be brilliant to see the reaction of the poxy Gooner brigade at their beloved Cesc in a Chelsea shirt, not sure if it's the right signing myself though.

Daily Express running with a story this morning that Manchester United are ahead of us to sign Fabregas because Barca don't deem them a "rival" due to their lack of Champions League football. 

 

The report contradicts a lot of reports from earlier in the week that said United had ended their interest in him and now had other targets, namely Strootman. 

 

The Express is very speculative that Fabregas would be okay with missing out on a year with no Champions League football, seeing as no other papers are running with that story I remain skeptical.

 

As for the Pique/Del Bosque thing... Looks like some Grade A trolling on Piques part to me.

With Franks wages cleared from the books that money can be spent on Fabregas' wages

Edited June 5, 201412 yr by Zola

£200k p/w is ridiculous!

Yeh, but since Ashley and Frank are gone we can easily afford that and it's still much lesser than that Shrek.

I know we can afford it, we could even with both still on our books. Just think it's stupidly high for Fabregas.

Barca are reluctant to let #Fabregas link up with #Mourinho this summer as he fears #Chelsea will put up a strong showing in the CL. [Marca]

Cesc Fabregas will definitely be joining Chelsea.

Keysie must have been 'hanging out the back of someone' for that info

What a disgusting turn of phrase... Wherever do you kids learn such language. 

 

 

Serious note, how reliable is Richard Keys or does he just tweet a load of sweet nothings like most of them? 

What a tool

Personally I find that Keys thing hilarious
