Be Careful What You Wish For in the future Cesc

true. I mean, since going barcelona he has been better than david silva without a shadow of a doubt

Whats david silva got to do with this? was it his choice that cesc made a awful career choice?

Interesting reading back eveyrone saying they called it b4....haha, but surely Barca ppl are much better than us in a forum and know their stuff, they wouldnt have bought Cesc if he couldnt bring to the table benefits to the team....

no, i asked someone before, and there answer was "without a shadow of a doubt". to which was my reply

And David silva has been setting the world alight at City?

ofcourse not. but one thing you can't account for is whether someone can adjust/settle/handle the pressure/change. I don't really know what was told to Cesc, and I am not really sure what his expectations were. It would appear to me, and i could be totally wrong, that there was a discrepancy between what his expectations were at the club, and what the club actually had planned for him.

pretty damn good last season, wouldn't you say?

Last season? I thought we were talking about this season?

The EPL is slowly but surely robbing Silva of his technical ability

oh... my mistake. This season, Silva has not been great. Neither has Cesc.

Let me clarify though. At Arsenal, I really enjoyed watching Cesc play. I don't think anyone will dispute that after his transfer to Barca he is half the player he used to be, so saying that David Silva is better than Fab in recent seasons is not such a huge revelation. If you are talking all time, then perhaps your "without a shadow of a doubt" comment holds more water

He doesn't fit into Barca. This doesn't mean he's a shit player out of a sudden, he's just playing in a team not suited to his game.

Fabregas carried Arsenal to numerous CL spots, usually playing alongside top quality players such as Denilson, Nasri and pre-awesome Song. Oh, and Diaby, never forget Diaby.

When has Silva been such a key player?

in the same way la liga is robbing alexis sanchez of his and nearly robbed ibrahimovic of his and robbed sahin of his

Silva has certain attributes that can make him more effective in a possession based side than Fabregas.

Fabregas was WC in our possession based system .

He probably was, but I think Silva's better at dribbling, more nifty and slightly more technical than Fabregas is.

Fabregas doesn't really fit Iniesta or Xavi's role.

If i had to pick one overall it would be silva. Not that I'm hating on fab I just think he's better.

I used to really like cesc, I really wish he would go to another team. Not only so he can get more playing time an reach the levels that he was at before, but to put himself in a better light with the world of football at large.

I get the impression that not many people like him anymore.

Heres my question: should he go back to his old role or is he able to do the role he is being asked to do no on another team?

He should join another team where he's allowed to play in his old role.

Fabregas is the first Spanish player to score a hattrick in La Liga since Luis Enrique in 2001.

Wasn't it that he was the first spanish player to score a hattrick in La Liga for Barca?

Oh and until the last 2 months, Fabregas was having a great season...

It might have been that, not sure.

Nah, need a new sound card. Heard the commentator wrong.
