From Feb 2011 mate.

Wait a second here....what is the current year?

:p

Fabregas to Chelsea? YES PLEASE!! would be a great partner for Matic, contributes plenty going forward, knows the premier league very well, and for a bonus point it would really really piss off the Gooners! 20-30 mil is a good price as well, given that alternatives like Pogba would be 40 mil minimum. so an all-round good deal IF we can get it done

Play Oscar beside Matic and Fabregas in the hole behind Costa and we'll have the best team in the prem.

Ohh dear this whole Fabregas to Chelsea rumour has been made from this photo and from the fact that he's in London because of that Dr.dre beats advertisement. 

 

Don't waste your time in this -_-. Even though I dearly want him.

Fabregas is not a mourinho-type player; no idea why he would sell Mata/KDB but then go for Fabregas.

 

He wouldn't really fit nent to Nemanja in CM either. 

Tancredipalmeri BOOM!!!!

Chelsea today held further talks with Fabregas' staff, after the ones held in the weekend

6:37pm - 2 Jun 14

Since Lampard is gone, I think he's the main man who could replace him. We should go all in on him.

I wish someone would boom that gobsh*te.

One does not simply "replace" Frank Lampard.

Agreed...Supa Frank is a Once in a Lifetime player. Someone you can tell your Grandkids about. There will only be one Supa Frank Lampard.

Not exactly our favorite player in the world, but if he comes here and improves our team then i'm all for it, we may even grow to like him eventually.

So looks like City and Arsenal have been ruled out of signing him, and if he wants a return to the Prem it's either us or United - no brainer if he wants Champions League football next season, and a great chance at the title.

 

I really hope Chelsea push for this signature, he's an ideal buy for CM with Matic and £30m would be good business in today's inflated market. Then all we need is a top class striker to go with Lukaku back next season, bring Bertrand or Van Aarnholt back to cover left back and we look very strong.

Chelsea have emerged as surprise contenders to lure Cesc Fábregas back to the Premier League after Arsenal indicated that they would not be taking up their option to re-sign their former captain from Barcelona.

Fábregas has been informed he can leave the Camp Nou this summer after three seasons back at the Catalan club. Barça and their new manager, Luís Enríque, are seeking to sign the Atlético Madrid midfielder Koke, a move that would limit the 27-year-old’s first-team opportunities. The Spain international is disappointed Arsenal have opted against trying to bring him back but he is willing to consider other options in England.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool have all considered moves for the midfielder in the past but it is understood their respective priorities lie elsewhere in the market this summer. Chelsea had hoped to secure Koke themselves as they seek a long-term successor for Frank Lampard, who announced on Monday night that he is leaving Stamford Bridge, with the new Major League Soccer franchise New York City, among other clubs, hoping to secure his services.

With Koke keener to move to Barcelona, Chelsea will consider alternatives and, having been alerted to his availability, have turned their attentions to securing Fábregas for around £30m. The Spain midfielder, who has 87 caps and two European Championship winner’s medals to add to one for the 2010 World Cup, could operate in a deep-lying role alongside Nemanja Matic and dictate the rhythm of Chelsea’s performances, and is attractive given his familiarity with the rigours of the Premier League.

The player may need some convincing, given his deep-lying affinity with Arsenal, where he spent eight years and played 212 league games, but his desire to play in England for a Champions League qualifier does appear to limit his options. He would, however, have to build bridges with José Mourinho, with whom he has endured a tempestuous relationship over the years. Only in February, after Barcelona’s Champions League last-16 defeat of Manchester City, he told the Portuguese to “shut up”, Mourinho having branded Barça’s team their worst for “many years”.

Chelsea had initially indicated they envisaged a relatively quiet summer in the market, with the Atlético forward Diego Costa their priority signing. The Spain international is expected to join for £31.8m from the La Liga winners but he may now be followed by his club-mates Tiago Mendes, who played under Mourinho during his first spell at Stamford Bridge, under the Bosman ruling and Filipe Luís for around £18m. The left-back will serve as a replacement for the departing Ashley Cole.

They also hope to add another striker, possibly Mario Mandzukic of Bayern Munich, to the ranks. With David Luiz’s sale to Paris St-Germain for about £40m having offered some much needed leeway in the market, the squad appears likely to undergo considerable and eye-catching changes. Fábregas would prefer his future to be settled before the World Cup – he is currently preparing with the Spain squad – but is resigned to leaving Barcelona who consider Koke, five years his junior, to have a more productive future as they seek new blood.

Manchester United had come close to securing the older man’s services last summer only for a £35m bid to be rejected, but he is not now a priority for Louis van Gaal. Manchester City’s main concerns are to retain Yaya Touré and, potentially, secure their long-standing target Fernando from Porto, while Liverpool hope to sign Adam Lallana – they may need to pay Southampton up to £30m for his services – to follow up their £4.5m purchase from the Saints of his England team-mate, Rickie Lambert.

Arsenal’s lack of interest may be deemed surprising but Arsène Wenger bought Mesut Özil for a club record £42.5m last year and has given Santi Cazorla a new contract. With Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere considered key players at the Emirates Stadium, and Mikel Arteta still with a year to run on his contract in north London, a pursuit of Fábregas would not be a priority at present despite the Arsenal manager apparently seeking to strengthen significantly this summer.

This all just seems like a rumour made out of circumstance. Cesc is leaving Barca, he's said he likes London in the past and now Arsenal have said they don't want him so unless Tony Pulis or Fat Sam are going pull £30mil out of the bag Chelsea is the only logical rumour the papers can run with.

So Chelsea flog Mata for 37 mill and 6 months later spend 30 mill on Fabergas ???

 

Hated the player at Arsenal, he does admittedly not shy away from a tackle, but I hope he doesnt

end up in a blue shirt next season as he is a complete... you know what.... imo

Not our kind of player. No pace, no power. Great player but we had Mata and he wasn't used..

If we did sign him, then he would be playing alongside Matic in central midfield, with Matic taking on defensive responsibilities with Fabregas being the man making things tick, a role for which he doesn't need that much pace or power.

Haven't we been crying out for a ball playing midfielder?

Timetowaste, as much as your profile pic makes me cringe, that is a mighty fine line-up you have there.

Despite my dislike for Cesc, that is very appealing!

Cesc would be a great signing no matter how big of a seenyou next tuesday he is, still think he will end up at the goons.

We have been looking for a player like this since we were after Modric in 2011 actually later than that since maybe Ballack left. I don't particularly like the guy but i think he's a quality player who would walk in our team and improve us. I think him and Matic would make a good partnership.

Sounds like circumstantial evidence to me...lamps goes, cesc just been told he can leave barca so that equals us buying him...doesn't strike me as a Jose player at all and 30m for a 27 year old, whose career has flattered to deceive yet thinks he's all that ? can't see it
