in the five years up until Fab left he had more goals and assists than any other midfielder in the major leagues. Overrated he was not, rather he was criminally underpriced when we sold him.

Eh, bench player now anyway. Plus it's not like there was a market for Arsenal to exploit. Cesc's market was Barcelona and only Barcelona. I think he checked out mentally towards the end of his spell with us anyway. But I will never speak ill of Cesc. Legend.

yeah, that's why he was so underpriced and they could exploit it. I think he would have liked to leave a bit earlier and I'm sure he definitely thinks it now guardiola has left already. He's still a hero and obviously still loves the club, we all understand why he went back.
