Is it?
Leverkusen are on the down. Alonso is only the first person leaving. Their star players are already looking to go.
He’s got a good thing going at Como and the fact he’s part owner certainly helps. No reason to rush things. If he keeps doing a good job bigger clubs will come calling.
Good step up but I don’t think what he’s done at Como is particularly impressive so I think his name value is carrying him here
Of course it’s a step up, lol
I think he was more disputing whether it’s a ‘good’ step up tbf.
Not been at como that long, I think he’d be better off staying there and continuing to build his experience rather than rush to what seems like a big chance at the first sign of asking.
Henry got jobs on his name rather than skills, got him nowhere. Cesc would be jumping to a team 1 year removed from going unbeaten, the pressure will be high from the off and they’re supposedly losing their best player to their rivals at the same time.
I’d stay away and wait for the next one.
Precisely. I don’t think it’s a good step for him to leave Como now and having to deal with a disrupted Leverkusen.
Wow, sounds like he’s on the verge of joining Leverkusen.
I don’t like the move for him but hope he does well.
Seems risky, Leverkusen just seems like they caught lightning in a bottle.
I imagine he’d get time at least.
I reckon they realise full well at Leverkusen that last season was an outlier. They are not going to expect him to do the same.

Good for him. 
You won’t believe who the alternative is apparently.
It’s Walter White?
Erik Ten Heisenberg. 
just an opinion here, but:
their star players were leaving every year for years leading up to last season when they won the league.
the difference that season was imo down to a perfect storm of timing, luck and xabi alonso having a great season as a manager, which seems unlikely to happen again in the near future.
but they were good before and should be somewhat good after, they weren’t dependent on a core crop of players.. so question is more, for me, about whether or not cesc proves to be good enough to keep the proverbial ball rolling or not.
Hal Wilkerson??? (MITM 4lyfe, fuck BB)
Lol ‘the only club in the world’ despite him never having any sort of link to them whatsoever.
Yea that made me chuckle. Pretty sure if us or Barca come knocking he’d be gone in a heartbeat
Yes, the team that got their ass handed to them in the UCL final, is the only club in world football that Cesc would go to. Despite never having anything to.do.with them beforehand.
The cope is strong in Italy, eh?
Stay at Como for a few, build some experience and come over if/when Arteta leaves, Cesc lad.
However, if Arteta does end up staying with us long term, feel free to go to Inter or wherever mate.
