Just looked it up on ESPNSoccernet and it's actually true.
I rate Modric highly, but I thought he would have been much more directly involved in the final pass. Puts into perspective just how good Cesc was at a such a young age.
Cesc is a phenom, I wish Arsenal fans would remember that more often. It's similar to what you mentioned noticing about the Bolton fans not rating Gary Cahill - I think they know he's going some time soon, he's come out and said so, and so they underrate his ability as a way of shifting the feeling when they depart from anger and sadness to almost a sigh of relief.
Even this season, with all his injury troubles, Cesc was still comfortably the most creative player in Europe in terms of minutes/assist, minutes/chance created.
