Rumour of Cesc Fabregas being linked to Liverpool . First I've heard of it but personally think the lad is class. Any insight Eds?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any approach from Liverpool regrding Fabregas but he is a very good and experienced player and he would likely be open to an offer from an English side. Chelsea are willing to let him move on this summer and have a replacement who they have been working on and are hopeful they can agree the transfer of. Milan has spoken to Chelsea about three Chelsea players but that list is down to two and Fabregas is one. On the other side of the coin, Fabregas is only marginally quicker than me and typically that is not the sort of player Klipperty looks to. What he would bring is a great deal of experience and the ability turn panic in to thoughtful football.}

Clickbait.

{Ed001's Note - even if Fabregas was good enough he would be the most unsuited player to our system imaginable. Lazy player and a lazy link.}

I understand where you're both coming from Eds in that he's not the typical player he looks to but he wouldn't be a million miles off what Gotze was for Klopp back at Dortmund and at that time Gotze made that team tick.

{Ed001's Note - except Goetze was a good player, Fabregas is one of the most overrated in the current game. One good pass a game is seemingly now enough to have a player raved about.}

Would be good against the 'lesser' teams when we need to be more patient. Don't think he would suit our system against the rest of the top 6.

Personally I would love Fabregas.

Fabregas is an excellent passer of the ball. He is third in assist table only starting just 11 games this season. He doesn't run hence he wouldn't interest Klopp.

Can we call the 'every player is signing for Liverpool' season now officially open?

Great analysis Ed. the things players are credited for these days should be standard procedure. being able to have 97% pass completion rate when all you do is make the obvious 5 yard pass is not exactly mind blowing. would rather have someone with a lesser passing percentage that was more adventurous. also ozil was top assists in Europe prior to signing for Arsenal. would anyone here still want to sign him lol.
