    Can't believe no-one's suggested him as a Fabregas replacement. I think he would be very ideal.

    Thoughts?

    Remembered Arteta when he was at Rangers, ran every game he played in very influential, problem area is his fitness he misses quite a lot of games, still think he is a top performer but he isnt getting any younger.

    So, any other random spaniards you'd like to replace Fab? Only joking, Arteta is a good solid player, and an able replacement, without being outstanding.

    Looked awful last season. If we are going to even try and replace Fabregas then it needs to be someone young who is about to hit his peak.

    If we think Rangers players are good enough, why not just recall Bartley?

    Can't believe you're the only one to pick up on this! He was fooking terrible last season. Much of that may be down to injury but at 29 he isn't going to get much healthier.

    He is now 29 and over the last 2 years had some serious injuries. Then again you may get him at a good price. Good player.

    Getting on and injury prone now as people above have said. 2-3 years ago maybe but can't see him being good/fit enough to replace Fabregas.
