Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Syn]

Yes we do

No we don't.

[Power n Glory]

It's a bit of both because we'll have games this season we're we get bogged down in tippy tappy antics just playing in front of a defence.

Ozil has far more talent than Cesc but does a lot less which makes him frustrating. Doesn't score or assist as much.

Cazorla works harder but he's not better than Cesc. He doesn't score or assist enough from his position either.

BOBN, I think you’re over emphasizing his work rate and lack of defence qualities whilst ignoring his assist and goal contribution. It’s like someone telling me Drogba was a better striker than Henry because he worked harder on defending and was better in the air. Come on now, see some sense.

Ozil was always rated a lot higher than Cesc in Spain, but in the premier league he does have a lot more to prove. Not necessarily in terms of goals, but in terms of having more of an impact in games, especially when we're struggling and need someone to step up.

I disagree about Cazorla though. Cesc might have a better eye for a pass but Cazorla is a better player overall. Santi can wriggle out of any situation, which makes him the perfect player to feed the ball to from the back. Cesc was always a bit too robotic and slow on the ball. He doesn't give you the same fluidity as other playmakers which is probably one of the reasons he wasn't trusted to take over from Xavi.

Mourinho would swap them in a heartbeat if he got the chance.

Yes we do

I agree, but not because we don't have enough CAM's with creativity and vision. It's because of Wenger's ridiculous tactics, having Ramsey on the right of a 4-3-3 and having a CF who can only run as fast as my crippled grandfather. And my grandfather's paralysed from the waist down...

Santi is a great player to watch but he doesn't score or assist as much goals as Cesc. He needs to up his numbers. Maybe we'll see that this season because he certainly has the ability.

You can fill your midfield with Cesc's, Ozil's & Santi's but if you don't have attacking players making the right runs to either create space or get in behind the defense it is pointless. Giroud is far to static for these players to thrive. Have a look at Santo & Ozil in the games v West Brom & Cup final ( last two games of last season ) - fantastic. Why - Theo started up top. I'm not a great Theo fan due to his lack of composure but at least he makes the runs that turns defenses.

Lets buy back Cesc and play him DM


To all of Cescs boyfriends on here, matherfackin Wenger knows

Agree with that and why I'm always saying Theo should be starting up top. He can learn composure and has over the years and when on his game he will get you a hat trick. Has Giroud ever scored one for us? Teams don't fear Giroud.

Cesc's 700 assists against shit teams in the first two months of the season won them the league last year. He is a key reason they won the league. But we don't have the problem of creating chances, we have the problem of converting them and conceding them, and he wouldn't have helped in either respect - apart from not being able to help Chelsea. I would've bought him just for that fact. Wenger's not ruthless enough.

no, the forward they bought last summer is why they won the league.

Chelsea created a million and one chances before Cesc got there but had no one to score goals.

Cesc helped, obvs, but it was Costa who got that title for them.

It's a combo of both. Not just one or the other. Cesc assisted Costa for a lot of goals.
