Just my own personal evaluation of the player and how I think they've influenced the side.
It's not scientific I admit
If an Excel table isn’t involved can’t back it I’m afraid…

I don't even try to ignore him because he's funny to read but I genuinely missed that part.You man really let OnlyOne sneak Rice into the Arsenal legends convo and you man wonder why there’s a hit squad out for him in his transfer thread.
Like you're at a club and a midget is trying to chat you up.
@Blood on the Tracks labelled Dennis Irwin and James Milner random underrated players from the past, unfortunately for him his evaluations go straight into the shredder.If an Excel table isn’t involved can’t back it I’m afraid…
Why would you assume a male midget?Fighting off the twinks in Heaven is it mate?
Pires is the measuring stick for me.
Above him you get in, below you don't.
Nobody has answered if they consider all those big names from the 70’s as legends who’ve only won one fa cup for Arsenal and no league title. I forgot Liam Brady too.
Is Ian Wright a legend?
In the only season Wright won a league title for Arsenal he was a bit part player due to injuries. Most still consider him a legend. Also that season we won the league with 78 points, it was so easy. Do you think those teams win the title if they have to compete against this Man City side? Not a chance. Not even the invincibles would.
Aside from all the trophies and appearances Xhaka has won, he is a legend because he always put the team before himself. He didn’t seek glory and making things about him, it was always about the team and players like that do not get the recognition they deserve.
There's not a single Post-Highbury player who deserves to be called a legend. Cult hero? Yes. Legend? That's reserved for players who fundamentally changed us!!
What’s so annoying is that almost all of the other big 6 have had legends in that time span.
Is that a serious question? Did you ever watch him play?Is Ian Wright a legend?

Infuriating to say the least!! And I second your motion regarding Kolo, fantastic CB & one of the world's best on his day. Wenger should've made him captain instead of the Chelsea malcontent.

Not sure how Man City and today's football has any relevance to the 80s and 90s, different times, different football. You can't really take a number of points and equate that to easy/hard to win a title. It has no bearing on the times.
If the bloke that is 2nd in the Arsenal goalscorers table do not qualify, well the bar is set mighty high....
I'd say if you grow an amazing head of hair like Roberto Holdini you should be a shoe in for club legendUnless you are part of a league winner and a big part you don’t qualify. So none of the Sanchez, Özil, Giroud, Ramsey generation. Also if you were a middling player but played on great teams it doesn’t count. I will say this there are a number of potential club legends on this team. Saka, Saliba, Gabriel, Martinelli, and Ode all would of been legends or near legends if our manager didn’t cr.p his shorts again
I think you need at least half a decade of top form at a club to be considered a legend. So that's 5 very good seasons..
It also helps if you are very talented footballer & not just some journeyman.
That's why I would still consider Cesc.
Arguably best player of the Emirates era imo.
People like Mesut,Alexis,Auba were top at times but never had enough good seasons here. RVP the same & although he may have been at the club longer was it has to be said not that great when he 1st arrived.
Unfortunately injured a lot so only had 2 or maybe 3 really good seasons.
Give me 5 good seasons & we can start to talk.
You were rather quiet when we were doing well bro.My bet on who is going to be the next legend is not Saka, it's whoever gets Arteta out of here. Naturally for our current entire squad, that ship already sailed.
It will be someone with enough quality to get his way once he fights with the manager and the board that supports him, and with the spine and spirit required to become one of our greats, doing his best to restore the values of our club Arteta trampled this season, something quite a bit more important than merely winning a trophy.
I kinda agree & it certainly leaves a bad taste.How you leave the club is a key factor.
Absolutely no way you can have a club legend behaving like Cesc and RVP.
They made the choice to leave the legendary status on the shelf in return for trophies.
