Cesc Fàbregas how emotional was that, last game, misses pen, goes off injured, was gutted for him, was begging for him to finish with a goal or fitting, an assist, best passer in prem history, was a superb player, so so good, hard to find someone to do his role, jorginho for example has something like 2000 passes and no assist this season. or kovecic over 70 games without a goal, Cesc really did have it all, legs went but football brain never did, I'll be following him if it's monaco his going to. Linked to Barella who has over 75 appreances and 2 assists and 6/ 7 goals,

I’m not a fan of stats Matt but I do look at the ones you come up with. With interest.

There not completely accurate but rough numbers. Good player but I worry or think £50 for a player who is another kovecic isn’t what we need, pogba Ali eriksen De Bruyne Shaquri even, all get goals from midfield. that's what we lack the most, getting a player who’s attributes are ball winning good passing and good engine. then it may be more possession and no goals.

No mention of RLC or Mount in your list Matt.

RLC I don’t think is good enough and for someone so young has terrible injury record, I’d sell, young English and overhyped so get the money, the £50m that’s reported on Barella we Can spend on havertz and have mount on bench to get minutes and cup time, if barrela got 6 goals
Last season I wonder how many goals mount would of got, and I would want to bet £50m to find out,

Agree with your post about Fabregas, what a player.

I think Barella is a very tenacious player, his work ethic is scary mate. He wins the ball back really well and can dribble and play the ball forward really quick and his only 21. I think he fits the Allan role.

He isn't a Fabregas replacement for me, tbh does Fabregas even have a replacement? Are there players out there with his vision?

Ed1 where do you see him fit in and alongside who if we were to sign him?

I think he will play the role Barkley and Kovacic currently occupy if he joins.

That’s my concern, Kante Jorginho Barella, where are the assists and goals going to come from, need some goals from other areas, just adds to the pressure on likes of hazard and Pulisic to do it all and Pulisic to hit the ground running.
