He really doesnt bother me that much and not more so than Cole did at the time.

If he helps us win more trophies and plays a big part in moving us forward there will be no problems.

Didn't he once give Arsenal fans permission to kill him if he ever played for Chelsea? Is it a verified quote?

It was fake obviously, no player would ever say that. Not publicly anyway.

Speaking of ex-Arsenal players, Sagna has just moved to City.

It actually physically f***ing hurts me to know that one of them is a Chelsea player and it isn't Lamps (although in a sense I am mightly glad Frankie doesn't have to call him teammate for a season). All you need to do is google "Lampard Fabregas" to remember all the bad blood during the years. I can forget that no easier that I can forget Benitez.

Whilst I understand that, Fabregas is a good midfielder and Benitez is/was total sh*t (don’t le t a trophy wi fool you). I know you're not comparing their abilities as such... but Fabregas is more forgivable for that very reason - he is good at what he does. Don't think anyone would argue about his attitude and apparent arrogance/nasty streak etc but some people can also see what benefit he’ll bring to the team, in their opinion.

Good God, I can count the number of days since he was referred to here as "Fibreglass" and mocked for being the spine of a spineless Arsenal.

 

We want to win trophies and he's here to win trophies, pure and simple. It's a workable arrangement, but let us not pretend we can grow to love him and let us certainly not pretend he can EVER come to love us after our history against the clubs he's been at.

As Lar7 said he is a footballer, not a PR executive.

Ohhh, some hard man that is, burning a shirt

 

Am i the only one that thinks someone burning a shirt is one of the most pathetic things fans do when one of their own/ex players joins a rival ?

It's not so bad for us because it happens so rarely. Mata's about the only key player I can remember going to a direct rival. Just think of all the rage and frustration created by Arsenal fans alone over the last six years. 

Joey Cole left and joined Liverpool. I didnt burn the shirt but i couldnt bare to wear it anymore.

I remember Poyet, Gallas and Mata.

Could easily just pick the lettering off, stupid waste of an expensive shirt.

Just seen some bar steward wearing a Chelsea top. I immediately throw-up on him. Completely deserved.

Are you angry that fabregas joined a successful club rather than return to Arsenal?

Last time i checked we won a trophy last season, and one of the most historic at that, while Chelsea once again finished empty handed.

Joe Cole leaving wasn't that bad for me, he clearly wasn't the player he once was and needed a new challenge.

Poyet going hurt but I got over it, Gallas going also hurt but he acted like such a cnut afterwards I quickly despised him and think getting rid when we did was probably the right move and Mata going is still a sore point in some ways but as we haven't played against United since he went I still don't know ultimately how I feel.

Every butthurt Arse fan who has talked to me has said how we won nothing and they wont the FA cup..... like really

This is why I truly hope we can do something big next year cause we can throw that back in their face

Just keep reminding them, Q,"who are London's only CL winners", feels better already,

Some people are just too stupid for words. They really do have short memories

The 3 EPL titls

Champions League

They just don't compare tbh!

Cesc Fabregas put any hesitation over working with Jose Mourinho behind him after being assured he will be given a key role at Chelsea next season.

 

Fabregas completed a £27m switch to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona, which could rise to £30m depending on silverware, last night.

 

The Spanish international has agreed a five-year contract worth £156,000-a-week and will wear the number four shirt next season.

 

Fabregas’ decision to join Chelsea was a surprise given what appeared to be a sour relationship with Mourinho, which included telling him to ‘shut up’ four months ago after the Chelsea manager labelled the current Barcelona side as the worst for ‘many, many years’.

 

Mourinho also didn’t make him his first choice acquisition for the midfield berth as he preferred Atletico’s Koke and Juventus star Paul Pogba instead.

 

However both those players ruled out a switch, making a move for Fabregas more attractive, especially as his former club Arsenal decided not to exercise their buy-back option.

 

Significantly, Fabregas was also assured during negotiations that Mourinho sees him as providing the spark to the team’s attacking play from midfield next season and that he is to become one of the leaders in the dressing room.

 

The average age of Chelsea’s squad is decreasing rapidly and the club saw two of their most experienced players depart this summer in Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole.

Interesting point about the average age of the squad. 

 

Even by signing players older than  we have in recent seasons the incoming players are much young than those they are replacing.

 

Costa is 8 years younger than Eto'o

Fabregas is 9 years younger than Lampard

Luis is 4 years younger than Cole

 

 

Bring back Drogba!!! Make Lamps and Ballack assistant managers!

Cesc could easily become club Captain, if this is JTs swan song.

Nope, I'm happy with the signing but the boy ain't getting nowhere near the captaincy. 

Watch this space, you would think we had an actual say in these matters....
