Cesc Fabregas

[Notorious Big]

I'm not sure what you're arguing tbh. You can't really disagree that losing Flamini and Hleb effected the team quite a bit, especially because the Fabregas/Denilson partnership didn't work early on. A combination of that and a lot of injuries caused the decline that season.

But you just looked how we were like and what we missed in quality.

EPL competition was different back than and we had quality squad with competing with "big 4 ".We've done that.Utd's title in 2008 wasn't same like one in 2013.They had two great teams against them ( Arsenal and Chelsea ) in 2008 and almost zero competition in 2013,despite dropped off their quality.Different seasons,different squads etc.

I think Chelsea like him a lot to be honest. They have a song for him and he won two titles there, top three player along with Hazard and Costa for them as well.

He’s probably a legend there tbh.

Good to hear, atleast he’s a legend somewhere.

Something out of the ordinary must happen for you to be a cult hero. Cazorla is abit of a cult hero just because of the way he went out and the pure love he seems to have for the club.

It’s harder to be a cult hero than a legend sometimes.

Is C.Ronaldo Utd's cult hero ?

36 vs 10.Özil's fanboys are in deep friend zone.

Why doesn't Cesc just pander to Cheski fans?

That was just business for him.

Cult heroes is probably a really good term to describe almost legendary players. I'd have Kos and Sagna as legends but without a title, icons or cult heroes is probably more accurate.

Rosicky would be my fav cult hero of the Emirates era, even though most will say he was way to injury prone, which I agree with.

One of my fav players outside Arsenal when I was growing up, just a great little player, was over the moon when he was bought in 2006, wanted long hair as I kid because of him and Pires...loved that he always turned up against Sp**s too!

...when your own son doesn’t have your back, how can you be a bigger legend than Titi!

Drogba is a great on and off the pitch. Peak Drog was up there with Alan Shearer as the best traditional CF the prem has seen imo.

That ****** always had good game against us.

It got embarrassing in the end.

Nah he’s a full on legend. RvP might be a cult hero, came from a rival and won them a league.

His goal scoring record never backed up such claims though, despite him being a top player.

That sounds like a personal fave than a cult fave. What did Rosicky ever do for cult status? Jack has cult status maybe, came through the ranks, played great, mocked Sp**s etc.

I wouldn't say so.

He won everything at Utd,but didn't refuse offer from Real.Their real legends are Giggs,Scholes etc.

That’s like Henry with us. So he isn’t a legend now?

Liverpool fans with Suarez and Utd fans with Ronaldo still talk about those players like they haven’t left.

Think that Henry was little bit different.He didn't play a lot in his last season and wanted to win CL.It's hard to say that he wasn't loyal enough.

Ronaldo was in his prime and Utd was top team back than.He got everything there and went to Real.Suarez was in similar situation,although Liverpool wasn't that strong.And he was in Liverpool just 3 and half years.

They weren't loyal enough to become legends.

We’ll have to agree to disagree, they both left with the blessings of their fans.

Even Beckham is a legend and he left with some bad feeling.

We know who are real legends : Giggs,Scholes,Terry,Lahm,Messi,Xavi,Iniesta,Ramos,Zanetti,Totti,Gerrard,Henry,Del Piero etc.

Ronaldo isn't in that category for Utd imo.

I don't know what you're arguing about?

About quality of league and our players.

You've got a list based on players who stayed loyal to one club... and Henry. Can’t have it both ways.
