    Let's not go down the "best player at the club" route again - it will never end well

    Bit worried about the club Facebook page's obsession with Lanzini at the moment.

    Im still confused what Fabregas has done wrong at past clubs or against us for people to be so against him signing ;puzzled

    Not so long ago we had Faye, Diop and Alou Diarra yet 'nah thanks' to Cesc Fabregas?
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Not sure Hogan would be keen to sign anyway if he's read SSN's comments that there's disagreement within the club as to whether we should sign him or not. He may think it's Bilic who doesn't want him.

    No one is doubting Fabregas' ability (although I think he is a long way past his best.)

    It is his attitude when he plays that I loathe - his sly digs and kicks at the opposition, his gamesmanship, which is to say, cheating, simulating injury etc.

    I don't like his 'values' and I don't want him at the club regardless of how many country miles he might be better than other players.

    Fair enough grey ;ok I've never really noticed that myself
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    I actually also doubt his true ability Twist

    At all his clubs look at the quality of player he has had all around him.

    You'd probably think even I was a decent shout if managed a run of games alongside Messi, Iniesta, etc

    How would he fare linking up with, say Calleri?

    He'd get the ball to his feet and then we might see in him what others have.

    Since he's been at Chelsea whenever there is any kind of ;handbags on the pitch he is at the centre of it. He's almost never the one getting booked or sent off, but he's always in the middle prodding at people and starting stuff.

    It's a shame because, when he was at Arsenal, I thought he was fantastic and seemed to play with a good attitude too.

    Fabregas has the killer pass that we maybe lack, but he's only really effective at this point of his career in an advanced midfield 3 and while Lanzini stats don't compare to Cecs think his overall game and his potential to improve he's my preferred option

    Another thing is that the team would have a worrying lack of pace with Cesc in the team, but if the right deal can come in I wouldn't say no

    Chelsea being linked with Celtic's Dembele.

    I wonder if this leave Bats looking for a move ;hmm
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Have to disagree with you Nick. He's played pretty well all season and bossed the game at Boro and played well against Palace.
    He's not a Payet so unfair to burden him as his replacement.

    I thought he got on the ball a lot but mainly ran into brick walls and blind alleys.

    That does happen quite a lot. imo.

    Yes, he does. I hope though that Nobes has had a 'chat' with him.
  • NEoldironNEoldiron
    I think that from the evidence of Adam's video, it's safe to say that Noble and Fabregas would probably not get on ;biggrin
  • adecokeradecoker
    I was just going to make my tea but having read the previous comments - Never a dull moment. Brick walls. Blind alleys - I feel I should go and listen to my old Rod Stewart and the Faces albums instead..

    ;hmm

    Seems to go against a lot of Twitter opinion, which seems to suggest we're no longer interested.

    But then who knows. I guess the laws of averages dictate The Sun will get something right eventually

    Palace are apparently paying £12m for another midfielder, medical tomorrow. Surely they won't sign 4 players over £10m in one window?
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Well according to the article, our best finish in the Premier League was 5th under Harry Redknapp in 1989...hahahaha

    1986 was our best top flight finish, however it was before the premier league era

    That was in the old First Division not the Premier League.

    West Ham pull out of Scott Hogan race, according to Sky Sources.

    Are we actually not going to bring in a new striker.
