It seems the Cesc Fabregas transfer saga (weird when it's him coming to us!) has split the room.

I think he would be a brilliant signing and would really add to the team (squad depth would be brilliant with him on the bench behind Jack and Rambo) he'd be a good man to bring on with 20mins to go. I joke. Or do I?

My only concern with signing him is there are clearly 4-5 positions that need strengthening first and I worry that Wenger will maybe miss a position but claim it's ok because for £30m Cesc is an awesome right back in the making and he's a fine sub goalie given half a chance.

To summarise, I'd love Fab back but in addition to 4-5 signings in the right positions.

Anyone agree or disagree?

If it can be done Arsene will do it Greeny of that I have no doubts, he loves the lad above his love for Jack even.

100% agree.
You don't even need to spend massively.

I'd love Fab back, I think he could move back or forward as required and might force, or allow, for more tactical formations over the course of a season, and he would allow us to rotate more.

Plus, it's a zero sum game, do you want him going to another Prem challenger, they would be stronger and we would be weaker.

Agree with what you say about other positions, but Cesc is a world class footballer and when one of those come along, you have to take the opportunity.

Have to agree. would love him back but not if it means we lose out elsewhere. cesc is a god but he ain't no centre half or goalkeeper!

Cesc has to come back to his Arsenal DNA to build strength and depth in this squad, also perfect replacement for Arteta! But also agree, we need centre half, DM, LW and most of all a pacey striker for Ozil to provide for!

Hmmm I really can't call this one, although sunday broadsheet is saying wenger's not interested. Would be amazing for squad depth - ramsey injury would not have been an issue for example - but could ramsey, santi, jack, ozil, cesc and the Ox really all be accommodated enough to keep them all happy?
