Cesc Fàbregas

[antonnn]

In a way this current Chelsea side is the least impressive he's had since he moved from Porto.

Cesc is an a grade cunt. He and Mourinho are made for each other. I would take Rakitic over Cesc any day.

That's rubbish to be honest. I'll take more players from this Chelsea side than either of the ones in 2005 or 2006. This team's achievements this season are being ridiculously underrated.


Just broken the Premier League record for amount of days at the top, 171 minutes behind all season, another record. Only 2 defeats in the league and only 3 defeats all season in over 50 matches. Less than any other team in Europe including Munich, Barca, PSG, Juve and Madrid. That's why the defeat to PSG was a complete failure on Mourinho's part.

Costa, Hazard, Willian, Fabregas, Ivanovic will all walk into both Chelsea 2005 & 2006. Courtious, Matic, Azpilicueta are all roughly equal in quality to 2005 Cech, Makalele and William Gallas.

i disagree with you there. prime terry, cole, essien, makelele, drogba to name a few.

hazard and ivanovic would make it though

Cole wasn't in the 2004/2005 team. Terry in 2005 and 2015 are roughly equal. Essien wasn't in that team. Drogba in 2004/2005 was not better than Costa currently is. Crespo was a better player than Drogba in 2005.

This is the 2004/2005 team we are talking about not random names over a 10 year period.

I don't know, you are basing this pretty much solely on their achievements in the PL this year, but look who they were up against... pretty much the only other contender from day one was an awful Man City.

I mean, Arsenal are second for christ sake, and they finished second in their CL group and got knocked out in the next round by Monaco

The premier league on the whole was much better compared to other top teams in Europe ten years ago, so it's not really a fair comparison.

This team has better names, on paper they definitely look like a stronger side in certain areas, and a bunch could walk into the team from 10 years ago, but that team was a extremely strong unit which conceded only 15 goals, had the most wins(I think 30 or 31?) and set the points record(granted, this side could get the 2nd highest), we had The Invincibles as our main rivals too. Sure they weren't as strong as 03/04 but they were still very good. Chelsea this year are good, but there was almost no competition from about Feb onward and we failed miserably in the CL. This team can be better than the first one, but it hasn't reached its potential yet. Right from the off that were a juggernaut, for 2 years anyway.

One really important thing to consider is the fact that the whole team really struggled from January until about April. If it weren't for Hazard our points tally would be low 70's at best, the team back then weren't so reliant on one guy to get us through shit.

Shut up, Cuadrado obviously saved your assess, hahaha...

Following Pique in almost every way

 

[Science Kid]

The first season he's not with us and we have an incredible second half of the season and are peeking at the perfect time...what an uncanny coincidence!!!

The season before he came we won the CL/Primera double and the first season he leaves we're again on the verge of it.

Fabregas to Chelsea TV -

"Barcelona was a team of individuals but now I am part of a family. The fans, team and owners are all together"

"On Thursday I said this could debatably be my best move ever. After today's atmosphere, I'm sure this is where I belong"

Someone is butthurt

 

[Chong Li]

Filthy tackle on Sterling... what a grade A cunt.

I'm so glad the rotten apple is gone. Probably Zubi's greatest transfer.

 

[Devils]

What are the chances that if Chelsea go through a stump that he transfers somewhere else?
