mrmojorisin75 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 What will he play with Fabregas then? Costa up on his own, two out wide (hazard and Oscar starting?) then three in midfield with fabregas the furthest forward? Has potential to be f***ing devastating that if cesc and Costa stay fit for the majority and/or they improve the backup to Costa. I think Mourinho would love to partner him with Matic deep in a 4-2-3-1 if he has the workrate. They missed a deep creative player last season. Maybe infront of Matic/Mikel/Ramires in 4-3-3 against bigger sides. I'd have matic and ramires probably with cesc much more advanced, certainly vs weaker teams, they'll cut teams to absolute shreds. In principle it's a very, very good signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ramires will play wide a lot next season me thinks. In other news, mackems bid for Ashley Williams has been turned down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 From Barcelona's official website. Proper trolling But despite glowing starts to each campaign, Cesc’s contributions to the cause gradually decreased as each season drew to a close. From being someone who joined in with the attack, supplying and scoring goals, the magic tended to fade later on in each season. He only scored one, six and one goals in the last 24 games of each season. For some reason, he was never as good in the second half of a season as in the first. http://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/detail/article/cesc-fabregas-three-years-in-numbers That's always been the main criticism he's faced here. If he kept his performance throughout the season, he'd been one of the world's best, but he always went missing at the business end of the season, when we needed him most. Still not sure about letting him go, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 What will he play with Fabregas then? Costa up on his own, two out wide (hazard and Oscar starting?) then three in midfield with fabregas the furthest forward? Has potential to be fucking devastating that if cesc and Costa stay fit for the majority and/or they improve the backup to Costa. Be amazed if Mourinho has the balls to play Matic & Oscar with Cesc ahead behing Costa and Hazard and A.N.Other on the right. he will probably play Matic & Mikel at CM instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar has done nowt since Christmas really I think he'll vary the wide options a lot as he has the scope to depending who they play, expect Oscar will start a lot at home for instance vs the dross, but agree with the two holding mfs and cesc ahead.
