Cesc Fabregas

[GDeep™]

I think he was the player the fans loved the most as well post invincibles. Can’t remember such an emotional connection with many other players since then. He was Mr Arsenal in a way that nobody else has been since then.

Never got the snake calls either would you want to be playing with Diaby, Denilson and Song when the best club side in the world was knocking? I would have been out the door in 08 or 09 latest while he did 3 years more. This was a club going nowhere at the time he was pretty much the only good thing we had which is prob why it hurt so much.

He wasn’t a snake for leaving, it’s all the antics before or during the transfer. Then he joined Chelsea.

Class player at his peak.

Nasty taste on how he left the club, but I'm not surprised when all those Barca two-faced people were begging him to come over. From the coach to the coffee lady. Such a discusting saga that was.

Wish him all the best.. one of the greatest players in clubs history

Didn’t we nick him from their academy though? It was personal for them, never business

That's true. But it could be done otherwise. That whole saga made me dislike Barca big time.

Enjoyed their football back in the day. Lost my respect on how two faced that club really is.

Never forget he went on strike in order to get his move to Barcelona. File under Cole, Van Persie, etc.

Literally and I mean literally went to watch F1 while Arsenal played the last game of the season at Fulham. Nasri on the other hand played his heart out against Liverpool when he knew he was off to City.

RAT.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

God now he’s gonna become a full time attention seeker, he’s gonna pipe up after every Arsenal game next season.

For that Nasri will always be alright in my book.

Yet he’s always painted as some saint.

Coffee lady ?? Did I miss something

I lost it with Barcelona when their players alongside that bald headed prick Reina were trying to force him to wear the clubs shirt during Spain's 2010 WC victory parade while being our captain

Exaggerated offcourse, but it felt this way with all the articles I read back in the day.

Same.

The shirt came on abit quick, it’s very hard to get on a shirt on somebody who doesn’t want it.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

Same.

And a year later, that RVP red card.. I can't stand Madrid either but for me, they're by far the less of two evils

 

[dashsnow17]

Thought he’d already retired lol. Absolute legend, 2nd best Arsenal midfielder of PL era.

Ronaldo was doing the same thing at United when he wanted to join Real and they were a world class side and title winners. The difference is how Fergie handled the transfer by getting a record fee for it while we completely fked it and that window up trying to keep Cesc and Nasri.

How you blaming him for going to Chelsea when he wanted to come back here but we rejected him?

Ronaldo was the best player in the world at that time, ofc a world record fee was going to be required lol

Ronaldo wasn’t missing games or wearing rival shirts on international duty etc.

Then he joined Chelsea which is bitter rival territory, no matter how you look at it.
