I think our currant decline or poor form means we should give Cesc an oppotunity to play in his best position as a Xavi replacement. I mean Xavi cant play forever and needs to play less games and Cesc needs to prove that maybe he along with Thiago can do a decent job of replacing Xavi and Iniesta
He has given the chance numerous times and proved to be, numerous times again, inadequate as hell for the role. Not only Thiago is better as Xavi's replacement, but many more youngsters also. Not to mention any possible clever transfers (like Gundohan)..
The only position he can play and not mess up the team is next to messi in a 3-4-3 like Guardiola was trying. Since Tito is not using that system or using it with a forward (villa or alexis) to release messi, he is pretty useless..
I suggest loaning him or selling. I read that Milan is thinking of splashing 40 m for him. Hard to believe, but a loan would be good both for him and the club.
