And we absolutely should have taken him back. A player of that quality was exactly what we needed to raise the quality of our midfield to what was required for Wengerball. Cazorla, Cesc and Özil would have been orgasmic levels of creativity and midfield guile / intelligence.
The fact he killed it at Chelsea and banged so many assists still hurts to this day. He is our legend but won a fucking PL with those cunts.
