I was on twitter where Tim Payton of the Arsenal Supporters trust asked the following:
“Cesc doesn't play in one of the positions Arsenal 'have' to strengthen. But good chance he moves in summer. Do Arsenal use buy-back clause?”
This question was asked a lot last summer but that was before the signing of Mesut Ӧzil. If the buy –back clause is 25m which is believed then surely you can’t turn down a world class player at a low price, as well it will give us another option and another top talent.
However, where would Cesc fit into this Arsenal team as we already have multiple players in his position. Arsenal have the likes of Ramsey, Wilshere, Ozil, and Cazorla who all play central positions. This is even harder with the emergence of Aaron Ramsey this season and that’s without including the likes of Arteta, Flamini, Rosicky and Diaby.
Let’s look at the midfield in isolation with the 5. This is the line-up which is probably looked at more without Wilshere.
CAZORLA - OZIL - WALCOTT - RAMSEY - FLAMINI
That’s a midfield without Jack Wilshere which means he would be on the bench. Even if we get rid of Flamini and make Jack Wilshere a defensive midfielder then we still has a problem with Cesc. The only thing I can think off is make Jack the DM put Ozil wide with Cesc in the middle and put Cazorla on the bench with rotation.
If this was to happen then it would be a nice problem to have but balancing the team and keeping everyone happy would be the major problem. Although if Cesc Fabregas did come back to his rightful home then I would have no problems because let’s been honest he is an incredible player and you can have enough good players.
