Hleb was a player i started liking during the champion's league run in 05 and this lasted till i found out he had screwed us over for ice-cream.
His subsequent failure has meant that, although i never feel sorry for him, i haven't developed as much vitriol as most.
Like Wenger, i wasn't bothered by his lack of goals but appreciated what he provided for the team.
Add to that his wolverine ability to recover from injuries and our tight budget, post Highbury, i thought he, Flamini and Cesc were indispensable to that midfield. Rosicky was only extra tonic due to his injuries.
