At no point was Cesc ever holding us back. He was carrying the team singlehandedly.

Preach.

It's not like when he left we suddenly decided the team should be built around lots of high quality players instead of our talismanic captain. We just slipped further and further away from the title.

The fact that Song Billong clipped a few balls OTT to Judas doesn't mean much, at least not to me.

The two seasons before he left we finished on 68 and 70 points. The two seasons after we finished on 73 and 79 respectively, with the bonus of our first trophy in nearly a decade. Strange reaction to losing a player who was supposedly singlehandedly carrying us.

Other things can change. Adebayor wasn't better than Henry either.

You're just further illustrating my point. Henry was holding us back in his final season too. The guy was broken and when he was playing he was moody and played with low energy. Didn't Wenger himself say Henry leaving allowed others to play with more freedom?

If a key player is only fully fit for 1/4 of each season, he becomes more of a problem than a blessing. That why when they leave the world doesn't fall apart and often it usually gets better because you're finally able to address the issue.

Thats probably why Adebayor didn't win things at Arsenal and Henry won loads.

Top class debate lads, lets do this again.

Miss the little guy, what a baller

flobaba

Doesn’t get enough credit

Wouldn’t have looked out of place with the Invincibles

Mirth

Absolutely, one of the best players we've had this decade

jones

Some of those attempts 😆 ffs

Often talked about how we wasted Özils prime years but what about all those balls from deep only to have Ox sky the cross out the stadium or Giroud needing a solid five minutes to sort out his feet

Clrnc

There are some weird people spinning it as him holding us back but he is just a magnificent player. Speaks volume that every Arsenal player who has trained with him says he is the best.

Arsenal recently uploaded 2 of our greatest individual performances this decade and no surprise it involves Santi. Also show us how important midfield is to win big games. Almost like a cheat code.

Loved the shoulder feint and accelerate, move from Diaby. Wilshere was good at that too, now we don’t have anyone who can do that in midfield.

Clrnc

One of the most important signings of our entire history. Unreal how we manage to get him when we were so poor in the past

His close control was out of this world, and he could pass/ dribble equally well with either foot. Joy to watch. Must have been a pleasure to play with.

"If you love football, you love Santi Cazorla". I remember same quote about TR7 too.

One of the players used to say that the team with Santi would always win the 5-aside games they played in training. I can totally see that.

Diaby was like someone who had a faulty beast-mode button, it rarely worked but when it did it was a joy to behold.

Arsenal posted this a few days ago on twitter. I forgot Ozil hit a hattrick for us. We do score some great goals.

Clrnc

What an emphatic finisher. His first 2.5 seasons was class.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Midfielder perfection.

How the hell do you embed videos nicely like Clrnc did? 😆
