We've got a much better midfielder playing the Cesc role in Ramsey. Ozil will also improve next aeason. And quite frankly there is a lot of room for improvement in other positions. If we do the business we should do in this window, passing up on Fabregas will be irrelevant. The worry is that I'm not at all confident that the club will bring in a top striker, another decent striker, a good DM, RB and GK. Can only hope that Wenger knows letting Cesc go to Chelsea will massively raise the pressure to land a biggie.
