Henry was slagging Barca off in Paris after 06. Pledging being a gunner on his way out the door for Catalonia.
He was my favorite player, maybe ever? But he really shit all over his legacy leaving how he did and going to Chelsea.
For me, Iād rather have him go full heel the way Giroud did. I canāt stand the public displays of affection towards a club he absolutely quit on towards the end of his last season and fucked over by collapsing his market.
Laughing and joking while his Cantalan mates put a B-arse-lona top on him
Not pledging his future to Arsenal or even telling the club and the fans either way if he was staying or not.
Deciding to sit in the stands with that fucker Pique at the Nou Camp rather than being with his own team mates/dugout despite being injured and being our captain.
Heās a snake, and he wasnāt actually that good. He was the fulcrum, the focal point of our midfield and our away form was shit whenever he dropped his head. (Which, in 05/06, was almost all the time)
Ridiculousā¦He was quality, and he wanted to come back to us, but we decided that Mesut was betterā¦Feck me, that was a terrible decision wasnāt itā¦So he had no choice but to go to Chelseaā¦
As I said before, the way he left was not ideal, but do not try to blame him for ending up at Chelseaā¦We made that decision Iām afraidā¦
He made the decision to fuck off to Barcelona in the first place.
He canāt plead with us to take him back with open arms thereafter.
He would have been surplus to requirements. We had one too many midfielders. Given the way he ousted Conte out of the Chelsea job, he would have been bad for the dressing room, too.
Good riddance. A wolf in cuntās clothing.
Better than Ozil being just a cunt in any clothing, ffsā¦
Canāt disagree with you there, mate
Buuuuuuut, Ozilās better on the pitch
I disagree lets end it here
Canāt disagree with facts, dude.
Not that anyone should remember this, but the season Cesc joined Chelsea, Wenger started the season playing a 4-3-3 with Ćzil on the left.
Alsoā¦
So the policy was not to take players back, apart from the ones we took back
Didnāt we take Diarra back for a bit too? Or am I making this up.
Wenger and his fucking pride.
Sign him you fool
Simple hubris. No one got in Wengerās way more than himself. When Fergie retired Wenger could have had one hell of a swan song. Instead we signed Cech, only Cech and floundered.
No, Iām sure we didnāt.
He ruffled feathers even though he was only here for about 6 months, the nob
Flamini
Fabregas wouldnāt have made any difference coming back.
He was slower and we were miles off being realistic challengers. Wenger couldnāt have done anything with him.
19 assists and 4 goals for Chelsea in 14/15
Realistic challengers and top quality manager relevant to modern day football.
Mourinho was better yeah no denying. Pretty sure he said heās one of his favourite ever managers heās played for
Depends how highly you rate Fabregas. He would have been a significant improvement on Wilshere and Ramsey, thatās for sure. Add to the fact joining Arsenal means he doesnāt sign for Chelsea.
Adding one or two world class players would have put us in title contention at the time.
