OK, I am fed up. Cesc Fabregas joined Chelsea, and a few days ago, had a decent game for them, setting up 2 goals. Unlike many, however, I am not fed up due to Cesc playing in the blue of Chelsea. I am fed up due to the lack of respect Arsenal fan’s are giving to players in the current Arsenal side. I am going to make 2 statements:
Cesc Fabregas would not get into the Arsenal 1st team
There are 4 players better than Cesc who would keep him out
Mesut Ozil
Cesc Fabregas and Mesut Ozil are direct comparators. Both play in the number 10 role. The attacking midfielder. It is the presence of Ozil that led to Arsene Wenger not buying Cesc. And lets look at the stats.
Lets compare their stats since 2011/12 (when Cesc left Arsenal) for club and country (League, Europe and Inteernationals):
Cesc Fabregas: 134 games, 40 assists
Mesut Ozil: 135 games, 52 assists
Ozil is the king of assists, Fabregas is merely the prince.
Alexis Sanchez
The story go’s that when we were in Barcelona to discuss the Alexis Sanchez deal, Cesc got word of it and was excited as he thought Arsenal were coming in for him. He called Wenger and was promptly told it was Alexis Sanchez that we were after. Both were available, we chose Sanchez.
Both men joined Barcelona in the summer of 2011, how did they fair?
Cesc Fabregas: 151 games, 42 goals
Alexis Sanchez: 141 games, 47 goals
If we were after pace and goals, Sanchez is the better player.
Theo Walcott
Cesc Fabregas had his best season at Arsenal when he was 22. Theo Walcott also had his best season in an Arsenal shirt at the age of 22.
2009/10: Cesc Fabregas, 19 goals
2012/13: Theo Walcott, 21 goals
And remember, Cesc took penalties!
Aaron Ramsey
One way to accommodate Cesc Fabregas would be to drop him deeper, behind Ozil. That would result in dropping Aaron Ramsey. CRAZY. Lets look at the full league stats from last season:
It is no contest. Aaron Ramsey out performs Cesc is almost every important department of an all-round central midfielder.
So next time you are sitting crying over Cesc, or getting angry that we did not sign him, remember, we have 4 players in our side who would keep it out.
My bet of the season? Ramsey, Walcott and Sanchez to score more goals than Cesc, Mesut Ozil to get more assists.
£27million to buy a player to sit on our bench? No thanks.

Absolute rubbish.Put up all the stats you like Although Ramsey has come on really well he certainly is no Fabregas.Also the player who would have dropped out of the team is neither Ozil or Ramsey its the overrated Wilshere.Further point Arsenal will go no where if they do not address the problem of having no genuine Defensive midfielder and Goal scorer.

Fabregas is what Chelsea needed, he ALWAYS caused problems when the Arsenal games came round. I really thought his through ball to Schurrel was simply stunning, there’s no way Schurrel would have made that run had it been any of our other midfielders on the ball, it would have been a waste of time! I really think he would make any team in the prem league.

its really simple. We won’t be playing Fabregas as an attacking number 10. He will play as a holding midfielder beside Matic. rather like he did with you guys alongside Flamini back in the early days…Controlling possession, dictating pace and making runs from deep. Now tell me you don’t have a place for him in you team, because you have better player in those positions…Exactly !!!

Im sorry that theres football ‘fans’ like this who spout on just to see their lips flap. ANY real football fan whether red/Blue/yellow would admit Fabs was better than at least 3 of those and if the other one doesnt wake up he should jog on. Its not our fault yoiur near sighted Vinegar didnt sign him and bring your once beloved hero/captain home. Just imagine the electricity and uniting of your club it would have made. Just like us bringing home Drogs. But your loss is Schurrly our gain and we shall see at the end of the season just how many points there are beween us again.
Just keep remembering theres only 1 team in London won the CL cup and there shall be Blue flags flying high across Europe again this year, Stay Carefree gooners.

I watched Cesc many times when he was with you and i thought the guy was the dogs dangleys and would have loved it if he would have played for us. All this crap about not wanting a player because of playing for another side before is daft.

You are comparing one player to four? That shows how great fabregas is. Four in one? Wow! Amazing! Fabregas is the best. Ozil is a single trick puny. He is so lazy and can’t help defensively. Fabregas is far better a player than Ramsey. Recall that barcelona has the history of ruining players that moves to to the club. For example, Zlatan Ibrahimovic flop during his stint at barcalona. But after leaving them, he became even a better player than he was at internationale. Fabregas suffered from the same situation. Fabregas was used out of his natural position by barcelona which explained why he struggled to make an impact. Real madrid allowed Ozil to go because he was simply supplus to requirement. Dimaria was prefered to him.

If we could take the best parts of all those players and wrap them into one player he’d be Cesc better. As an all rounder Cesc is ridiculous. When he was at Arsenal I believed he was one of the worlds best. He stagnated at Barca because they didn’t believe in him like Arsene did, but I guarantee you by the time he’s 15 games into the season he’ll be back to his audacious best. I’d have rather had Fabs in my squad Arsenal squad then him being at Chelsea. That doesn’t mean though that we can’t go all the way ourselves. We just have to step up. Oh and buy a quality CDM as well please!
