Obsessed With Looking for Eric
Shame Welbeck didn`t succeed in breaking his leg, would have loved it.
@Tir Na NogFabregas living rent-free in Tir Nanny Og. Loving it!
Didn't we have first refusal on him when he left Barca and Wenger chose not to go for it? Good decision not to in hindsight.
He had some alright spells at Chelsea but he was nowhere near the player he was for us, there.
I certainly dont think he behaved in a good way to get the move but honestly cant really blame him for wanting to go to Barca.The way he left is why animosity is there.
He was one of the best players at the time and worth much more than what we got for him and that's because he behaved the way he did.
It was an entire year of him trying to get a move.
He was never loved and respected in Barcelona as he was here so he went to ****ing Chelsea. Come on.
He celebrated against us while he was in Chelsea.
Said Mourinho is better than Wenger.
He was twerking for Barcelona and Chelsea but Arsenal fans should feel some connection to this player and appreciate him?
Nah my man, **** him.
Cesc was slightly different because he was a genuine Barca graduate and fan; never made a secret of it. Didn’t like it but he made the (correct) call that Wengers then project had gone south. Ironic that he was never actually successful at Barca, only when he returned to Chelsea, when Wenger refused to let bygones be bygones.He, like Van Persie, Nasri and Adebayor should be dead to us I reckon.
Sure they gave us some good times, but I think the manner in which they departed and their conduct thereafter says a lot about their characters. Of course they dont have the same love for the club as we do, but I think being honest about it being a business should be their approach about it.
Take your cue from Ashley Cole guys, stick to where you won your trophies. You were too big for us anyway.
Don't think it's fair to include Nasri in this. Till the end, he was of good service to Arsenal.He, like Van Persie, Nasri and Adebayor should be dead to us I reckon.

Lol, just realised you have "professional troll" as your tag. Makes sense nowLove Cesc, great guy. Loyal to the club to a fault and stayed too long and hurt his career.
you couldn't get the ball of that man. what a playerHleb was as important as Cesc, in the last Arsenal team to properly challenge for the league in 2008, to be fair to Alex
His goalscoring (or lack of it) is what really makes him look worse in retrospect, as on the ball he was brilliant...taking 3 years as an attacker (in a Wenger side) to get 10 goals, is kinda crazy.
But to be fair to wenger and arsenal, ade has become a problem child, hleb was a slag who pulled every trick in the book to make sure he got his move, and flamini was within his rights to do what he did.
Good luck to the guy, his flirting with milan was abit too disrespectful to the fans to be honest, reminded me of the slag antics of hleb.
@Macho @Riou speaking of old posts about Hleb, sensing a theme hereI had mixed feelings about the slag (hleb) when he was here, at his beast, he was an excellent player, his link up play with fab, rosicky etc at times was breath taking, he worked hard for the team too, BUT, you always knew he would never ever in a million years score, which for me was a major issue, so I was happy he went and we bought nasri, who I think will turn out to be a better player. Hleb was rather frustrating.
‘Here’ as in on AM? I doubt he knows we exist…. The fact is he’s still loved by Arsenal fans away from this gaping hole. Don’t let it fool youFab was a great player for us, but I am still confused why he thinks he can be so beloved here, tbh.
I mean once he snuck off to Barca you're allowed to slag him off tbh. I soured on him (and he became a bit overrated over time by some on here) after the move myself.
