wtf! why do you want the snake here

Legit santi replacement and he was on verge of being an Arsenal legend, he has unfinished business with us.

Nah fuck Fabregas.

We should test Dortmund on Reus.

Not going to lie - I'll always have a weak spot for Cesc.

Cesc can fuck off. Don't want him anywhere near the club. He's no longer even good enough (or bothered enough) to justify having him back.

Average hairline in the squad would regress too.

Think he'd disrupt the Ozil/Sanchez good juju too.

Can't sacrifice either of those thinking there's a new star in the team when they're already splitting the fame and wages.

didn't want cesc 2 years ago, definitely don't want him now

I would definitely take him back if I thought he'd fit into our team, but I don't think he would. He'd bring the same set of flaws we see with Cazorla. In fairness, he would probably bring the same sort of advantages we see with Cazorla too!

The main issue, for me, when he left Barcelona was positioning and set up. At that point we didn't really know that we could function well with Cazorla deep in midfield, and to me Cesc would rather be in direct competition with Özil for that spot. That wasn't very appealing. As a direct Cazorla replacement - there are, honestly, not that many players around who would better fit that bill.

Main set of flaws, same as Cazorla? 1. Cazorla is the first midfield player on the team sheet. 2. He has least amount of flaws in his game out of all our midfielders. 3. Cesc has many, many more flaws compared to Cazorla in the deep role.

Cazorla and Fabregas are nothing alike in terms of style.

Plus that, yes.

Both are top class passers of the ball, although in different ways many times, and both have the technical quality we need more of in our team. Both also have the capacity to dictate a game through their passing in midfield. They are not the same, far from it, but they share many traits.

You don't say!

Both do very little running at the moment.
