onetowatch said:Cesc played for us in his formative years (16-24) and has a father-son relationship with Arsène. I have no doubt he has a genuine connection with the club. People can argue all they like about how he left and how he joined Chelsea etc (both special circumstances) but IMO it's clear Arsenal means something to him.
Of course 8 years, 3 PL's, 2 FA cups and 1 CL at Chelsea could overwrite that.
Like Ashley Cole? well I can see the similarity although Cesc and his Barca DNA was a similar but worse saga
