One Legged Beaver Posted 12 June 2014 Share Posted 12 June 2014 What a signing from Jose there! And what's going on at Arsenal? Wasn't he reported to have said the only teams in England he would play for we're Man U and Arsenal? Really surprised they weren't able to get him back.

AKCJ Posted 12 June 2014 Share Posted 12 June 2014 "Firstly I would like to thank everyone at FC Barcelona where I enjoyed 3 wonderful years. It was my childhood club and I will always be proud and honoured that I had a chance to play for such a great team. I do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time for me to return. Yes, everyone knows that Arsenal had the first option to sign me. They decided not to take this option and therefore it wasn't meant to be. I wish them well in the future.I considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice. They match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win trophies. They have an amazing squad of players and an incredible manager. I am fully committed to this team and I can't wait to start playing.It was extremely important to me that this transfer was completed before the World Cup so that my mind will only be focused on hopefully helping my country try to retain the trophy."

ScouseFox Posted 12 June 2014 Share Posted 12 June 2014 tbf with ozil, ramsey, wilshere etc arsenal don't really need him. chelsea don't either but it's in their nature to just buy him anyway whereas arsene isn't that kinda guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, think they could have bolstered their midfield more with him although they have got a fine midfield not denying that. knows how to win things as well which, I dunno, could be useful in a side that's won one trophy in about a decade.

LeicesterBran Posted 12 June 2014 Share Posted 12 June 2014 Fabregas is a good signing for Chelsea, altough I never imagined it happening with Mourinho in charge. He'll probably cause our midfield problems next season when we face Chelsea. But, I reckon Mourinho will use him as a deep lying playmaker with Matic as a defensive midfield. they need a holding midfielder rather than another attacking one. They already have one in Matic. Let's get Van Ginkel/De Bruyne/Marin in on loan then. De Bruyne left Chelsea to join Wolfsburg for £18 million back in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
