Are you one of those people that think the world legend is only applicable to those that win trophies?

No, but it goes some way.
You do have fit the description of a 'legend', though, and Arteta is by no stretch of the imagination an Arsenal legend. Not in any way at all. Ability, longevity, decorated. None.

Ask Wenger about Arteta's contribution and he will put your post to shame.

By any imaginable metric, if Arteta is a legend then half of the players who have had 10+ appearances for Arsenal are legends ffs. Word loses its meaning
Country: England
Stalwart feels like a more suitable word, certainly not a legend.

I think it's because he's an extremely understated player that people don't respect what he's done for the club. He's definitely a legend

Too many people use the term "Legend" when describing players. For me there are not that many Arsenal legends. I can certainly think of several players who have had far better careers than Arteta and they are still not legends in my eyes. Cole, Sagna, Lehman, Rosicky, all with better Arsenal careers but still not Arsenal Legends.

Ashley Cole.... Arsenal legend? Sorry mate that automatically makes your opinion void.

It depends where you draw the line really. Arteta and Rosicky have been massively valuable for us over the years but if you only consider our very elite players legends, then they aren't. But then again neither is Gilberto Silva or Lungberg.
Anelka, Petit and Overmars weren't here long but they won us trophies alongside other top players.
Fabregas is one of our best ever players but because of his perceived disloyalty some will never call him a legend.
It would be nice to see a loyal servant in Rosicky pick up a PL winners medal bridging the old and new era. How many games does he have to start?
It's all down to criteria really.

How can people call Arteta a legend????
However, really appreciate his contribution when we were in the bottom of the sea. He had stabilized us in that awful season.

He'll be a legend when he becomes a top coach, takes over Arsenal and leads us to a historic treble.
Rosicky won't get one, and won't accept if he got an 'honorary' one unless he cores and starts a lot.

Discussing whether Arteta is a legend or not is both hilariously off-topic and not a discussion anyone will ever entertain because it's just ridiculous.
All it'll ever boil down to is jarsenal_man against the world in a "he is/ he isn't" dichotomy.

I don't think Arteta can be called an Arsenal legend, but I agree with @jarsenal_man that Arteta's work with the club doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Wenger = The Legend.
Arteta is very professional but mediocre players can become great coaches so you never know.

You're right, jarsenal_man seems to be the only one claiming Arteta is a legend, and many, me included have risen to it
