So to kick things off today, the topic is:
no way
Nope.
Probably not but i’m a gooner,if i were a pool man i probably wouldn’t trade gerard for fab.It’s a tricky question they’re both world class !
We already have arshavin, we don’t need Gerard. Besides cesc can do things no one in this world does better.
Come on, a well-renowned midfielder who is not just about assists. Also a game winner and a true leader.
Cesc is an absolutely essential player, but I may agree to this deal if it was to happen.
Both of these players are of great qualities except with different playing styles. For me Gerard is a natural leader on the pitch and is also inspirational. He loves to thrust forward into goal scoring area especially just outside the penalty box to attempt long range shot which at times brings spectacular goals. With him around, Liverpool players tend to step up their game. He also reminds me of Bryan Robson ( Captain Marvel) who inspire everybody around him. As for Fabregas, of course he is much younger compare to Gerard. Fabregas likes to probe around looking for the perfect pass for strikers to score. Sometimes, he long ball pass can be devastating. I won’t mind trading Gerard for Fabregas because I feel that our present team lacks a natural leader on the pitch. By the way, I believe Arshavin is one potential leader for The Arsenal.
no ways bruv..
i would gerrard is on form and commited which i cnat say about fabregas
YES!!! NO DISREPCT TO FABREGAS THOU. AM A TRUE GOONER
A very interesting question. It’s purely hypothetical, of course, because neither team would agree to such a deal.
However…I will say this…as much as I love Cesc, Stevie G is the only midfielder I would ever consider swapping Cesc for.
Gerrard is one of the most overrated midfielders in the world. He’s got no skills, limited vision, can pass a ball but not even near the passingskills of Fabregas, and he can’t even play as a CM in a midfield of 4 players.
He is a lot on the scoresheet, but the real strength of Liverpool is the duo Xabi-Mascherano. Gerrard has given a free roll so he sometimes ends up ahead of Torres. I bet Arshavin would have had twice the impact on Liverpool, as Gerrard has right now, simply because he is a way better footballer (but a less leader).
Fabregas and Gerrard arent even comparable because Gerrard is an AMC while Cesc is a deep-lying playmaker.
absolutely we need a stronger leader and for the short term it would be a great move. If you think longer term though Fab would be better for us as his sell on fee is going to be greater (and he will go in 2-4 yrs)
fab is arsenal…Gerard is Liverpool…arsenal play the way they play because of fab…trade???..hmmmm no way, fab is still young and still not at his peak…opposite to Gerard..
2 different types of players..Gerrard is definitely a better leader and a better box to box player..def a game breaker..fabregas is more reserve yet has the vision of an eagle.. oddly enough a gerard is what we need right now…but fabregas is 5 years younger and has a much brighter future i think..
We need a box2box NEXT to Cesc if he keep on playing 4-4-2, but if we trade Cesc for a box2box we wont improve.
Fabregas is Arsenal……. Gerard is Liverpool……. no way. both of tem best 4 thy club….. so NOP….
no way!!!
FAB is the best in the world!!!
Would I trade Cesc for Gerrard? Oh hell no. The man has been so loyal to Arsenal and there is no question of trading him with anybody. If you ask me who is the better midfielder, the answer is comprehensive again. It’s Gerrard without a shadow of a doubt!
No.
Tempting but no. Gerard would not be the same player outside a Liverpool shirt ….. just look at his England performances. His passion belongs to Liverpool and that can’t be transferred to another club. Cesc is/can be a world class player ( a much over used phrase mostly on average players) but needs an experienced partner in the Midfield to make him the finished article at club level .
Nooooo, SUM ppl say yes cahh gerrad is english n cesc isnt so dats d only possible reason ppl wuwd wna trade him 4 cesc, bt i wudnt. gooner 4 lyk
no wayyyy
cesc is young and in his peak
gerrard would not be as passionate for arsenal
and we would have to rebuild our team completely to suit gerrard, as he would not fit into our current system
cesc all the way!
never!! lol
btw this question is unrealistic.. but at least it doesn’t claim to be anything else.. unlike alot of the other crap i have read about the club over the last few weeks…
10 out of 10 for irony boys!!
No.
Fabregas is a better midfielder then Gerrard. As good as Gerrard is, he isn’t disciplined enough to play CM hence why Rafa plays 2 DM’s behind him. He plays like a school boy, just chases the ball.
i would and im a gunner.
i am an arsenal fan but i have to admit gerrard is a better player at the moment, but i believe that in time fabregas will be better than gerrard when he gets more experience. i also feel that because gerrard has alonso and mascherano behind him it makes him look better than he actually is and if fabregas had a good DM behind him it would give him more freedom to attack and become better. but as for the swap i would say no because gerrard would not suit arsenals style of play which fits fabregas perfectly and gerrard is at his peak but fabregas still has a lot more to give in the long run.
Nope, we already have our own Gerrard: Aaron Ramsey
No one caan be a true gunner if they think it would be a good idea to trade cesc in for that scouse twat.
don’t get me wrong he is a good player… but for any twat who comes close to joining shit hole chelsea, needs a slap
I would keep cese without a showdow of doubt, cese is brilliant both for club and country…. who can say that about gerrard… especially for england
Only for Gerrard + Torres as Cesc will be leaving us within the next few years anyway.
