    Sky Sports 2 at seven, Cesc Fabregas special.

    For an hour.

    I can only assume that 45 minutes of that are commercials.

    But now Jose has been clever enough to sign him, after Wenger turned him down, he's being built up as the next Joe Allen

    Unfuckingbelievable

    42 goals in 151 appearances for a midfielder is quite impressive.

    Surprised at that tbh.

    Well i think tika taka is a pile of **** so i dont have any interest in watching it.

    However barcelona fans and the barcelona managers of the past 3 years have, along with the spanish manager, played cesc as an am or false 9. Usually off the bench for spain.

    Hes certainly not taken any of barcelonas 3 main midfielders positions and the number of games suggests hes played somewhere.

    So what dont barcelo a or spain have loads of?

    Strikers.... So hes played there.

    If you don't watch it then you have no idea what you are talking about and cannot make a judgement on how Fabregas did without guessing.
    If you watched Barca then you would know that Messi plays as their central attacking player more often than not now.

    So where do his 151 appearances come from. Its not midfield and you say messi plays the number ten role. Wide forward, striker or false 9. Its one of those.

    I didnt say ive never seen them btw. I have. He played as a striker every time i have, at least that was the position he occupied.

    Messi.

    There's a player worthy of a TV special.

    Fabregas, not so.

    He played as a false nine less than the other positions he played. He plays as a central mid, winger and second striker more often.

    So basically what i said. I suspect his midfield time came as a sub for iniesta?

    He made 48 appearances 11/12, 52 12/13, 49 13/14
