Assuming the 3 weeks will include the 2 of international break.

Re: Let's talk about Cesc, Baby
Have to say his impact impressed me, I was wrong about him, the way he improved our ball retention, his calmness on the ball, the way he always makes himself available for the pass and is never afraid to try a difficult play or pass was exactly what we needed. Plus I thought that last season we needed to improve the concreteness in terms of goals/assists with out attacking players and with attacking player I meant every player that contributes to our attacking phase, strikers and midfielders as well and he truly delivered in that regard. We're going to miss him.
Perhaps that's a deficiency in our roster, the lack of a third quality CM to rest one of Matic/Cesc when needed or to allow Cesc to play further forward. Since Van Ginkel isn't going to cut it at Milan (8th choice CM, behind Essien as well ) let alone Chelsea, maybe we should push for Khedira this january Mou's favourite, 6 months left in his contract at RM, can see it happening

I think we'll go for Khedira in Jan, especially if we sell Mikel or Ramires.

No chance we sell Ramires now. Jose loves him.

Re: Let's talk about Cesc, Baby
Agree with Barry, Ramires starting v 'pool shows Mou still has intention to use him. Mikel is a different story though....

It'll be interesting. I can see Mikel staying over Rambo as Mikel is happy with his place, he always has been.

Re: Let's talk about Cesc, Baby
I don't think we need Mikel anymore, I mean, he's essentially a poor man's Matic, the more defensive of the pivot, the one who shields the back 4 and who drops deep to collect the ball from the CBs and that goes back if too many defenders have gone forward (doesn't happen anymore since Luiz is gone tho). The only difference is that Matic is better at those, he's better at pressing high and winning the ball in favourable positions, he's more ambitious in his passes and more useful in attack given his more powerful shot.
If I were to choose between the two I'd keep Ramires who is different from our other CMs and can be deployed as a winger or fullback as well

I'd argue Mikel is more needed if we bring in a backup for Cesc.
However, I would like to see Ake used more.

Cesc Fàbregas believes he is ‘playing the best football’ of his career and insists he moved to Chelsea to win trophies:
4 months into his time at Chelsea and Cesc Fàbregas already seems like he was born to be José Mourinho’s tempo-setter in a team committed to entertain and hell-bent on winning

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2850982/Cesc-Fabregas-playing-best-football-career-moved-Chelsea-win-trophies.html
-"I feel in control and that’s what I like the most in football. I touch the ball all the time, I feel happy, I go and get the ball from here, from there, I can go forward, Oscar drops deep. I feel free, I feel confident."
"Sometimes in the last three or four years in the national team and Barcelona, I was playing like a No 9. I mean, I have to do it for the team and I enjoy it, and it’s all good. But, here, where I am playing today, in these games, it’s where I enjoy my football the most. I feel right now I am playing some of the best football of my career."
"I’ve played in World Cup finals, European Championship finals, Champions League finals with great teams. I’m not saying the (last two) games against West Brom or Schalke were the best, probably they weren’t, but definitely they were games I enjoyed a lot."
"I didn’t just come here to play well and that’s it. I came to win trophies. If I can play well and enjoy myself, the better."
"We have to win trophies. No-one remembers a great, great team if you don’t. We have to win and that will say a lot from us and people will judge it how they want to judge it. The most important thing is to keep it going and at the end of the season we can talk."

To be fair, I didn't think he'd be this good in the pivot.

You're speaking to the person who thought bringing Mourinho back would be a disaster, so neither of us is in any position to be taking the high-ground over the other

I've done a complete 180 on that stance though. My next shirt will definitely be a Fabregas 4 shirt
