Hmm
did u not watch his first season at chelsea
only period of his career where he was turd was at barca because he was never smart enough tactically to fit in centrally so had to be play as a false 9. very much english & smash and grab like in terms of his play which was his downward spiral upon his return to catalonia
I think cesc just struggled not being the main man at barca, all his career at arsenal he is use to being the player his team mates would look to pass to the most, at barca all of a sudden he is behind xavi, iniesta and messi, if cesc is not going to be your playmaker or the guy on your team that you will look to get the ball into the most his a bit redundant.
I also think barca didn't need him xavi, iniesta in the same team, they basically just was fititng him in for the sake of it imo, this affected their team balance which further hampered him.
When his the main man though his tactically great, one of the most intelligent players in the pl, what other mother f***er could top the assist chart playing as a deep lying playmaker.
