Cesc

Cesc

What a first half he had, was incredible. unfortunately he didn't have the legs to continue it in the second half but really helped us pull out early on.

by Shed Sun 31 Aug 2014, 03:25

Keep saying it but it bears repeating. Imagine having the opportunity to sign him and not doing. Hilarious.

by Kick Sun 31 Aug 2014, 03:32

I know.

Cesc wrote:'I will always feel a Gunner and I know that I am going to return to [the Emirates Stadium] and I feel that it will be a special moment but I am committed,'

Remember that I played a Champions League final against Barcelona. I swear to you that I would have done anything to win that game even though I’d been Barcelona since I was a kid.
'So you know that when I play against Arsenal I will know who I am playing with, who my teammates are and who I will defend and I know that the Arsenal fans will understand; I have no doubt.'
'If you’d told me five years ago that I would play for Chelsea and Mourinho I would not have believed you, but life changes.
'I spoke with my agent and told him to find me a team. Chelsea’s offer arrived and for me it was about returning to London, the place where I did best.
'There was no better exit. I spoke with Mourinho and he told me things that I needed to hear. I felt valued, felt that I was going to be part of something important

Some interesting yet unsurprising quotes, there. Completely understandable for him to still like the Gunners, I doubt we'll ever pry that from him BUT we know he is committed to us and maybe one day he'll happily call himself a blue.

Same goes for our end. There are a significant chunk of match-going fans I follow on twitter who say they're not ready to warm to the fact of him being a Blue at all just yet.

Here's a guy we threw celery at only a few years back let's not forget Laughing

by Kick Tue 09 Sep 2014, 05:30

I've definitely warmed up to him Proud

José Mourinho: Cesc Fàbregas a ‘dream’ teammate for Diego Costa at Chelsea:
José Mourinho says playing in front of Cesc Fàbregas is "the dream of every striker" as the playmaker continued his budding relationship with Diego Costa
http://www.espnfc.com/chelsea/story/2034527/jose-mourinho-cesc-fabregas-dream-diego-costa-chelsea-swansea

"To play with Fabregas is the dream of every striker."

"The guy sees the movement, sees the pass, is not selfish, makes always the right choice."

by Kick Mon 15 Sep 2014, 02:19

He is also the first player ever in the premier league to assist in 6 consecutive games. :bow:

What a signing he has been.

by Shed Mon 15 Sep 2014, 02:20

Indeed, saw that :bow:

by Kick Mon 15 Sep 2014, 02:26

I think he is being overlooked due to Diegod's goals but he is been fantastic.

by Shed Mon 15 Sep 2014, 02:28

Considering many of the have been assisted by him, I wouldn't say he's been overlooked at all Wink

“I was expecting it”: José Mourinho lauds Cesc Fàbregas' blistering start to his Chelsea career:
José Mourinho is delighted with the impact Cesc Fàbregas has made in his short spell with Chelsea, but says he is not surprised at all by how well the Spaniard is playing
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/512658/Fabregas-gives-Chelsea-another-dimension-Mourinho-lauds-impact-of-former-Arsenal-star

"I know the player we bought and his qualities, age, experience, culture, tactical culture."

"He was made in England, made in the Premier League, no need to learn principals, philosophies and feelings."

"The team was waiting for a player of his dimension."

"I was expecting him to play the way he is playing. I was expecting that."

José Mourinho reveals shock at Barcelona's willingness to sell Cesc Fàbregas to Chelsea:
Chelsea boss José Mourinho has revealed his shock, not that Arsenal passed over former captain Cesc Fàbregas this summer, but that Barcelona elected to sell the midfielder in the first place
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jose-mourinho-reveals-shock-barcelonas-4296619

"I thought he was going to stay at Barcelona. I was looking at him as the natural successor of players that were getting older, like Xavi. The surprise for me was not that he didn’t go to Arsenal, but that he was leaving Barcelona."

"He’s 27 and it’s the perfect age. Physically, he’s on a high, mentally, he’s very stable, he has tactical education. Cesc’s stats are fantastic, the number of assists, the qualities he brings."

"One of the reasons Cesc is so important is because he can play in any position. Even in Barcelona, he was playing many times as a No.9. He sometimes played on the left wing too."
