I wish we could turn the clock back for certain players. We'd all hold Cesc and RVP in a much higher regard if not for the poor management of Wenger and how they left the club. It's too late for them now but I wouldn't mind seeing certain players return to right a few wrongs.
To this day, Fabregas is the best 16 year old I've ever seen play and without any doubt one of the best midfielders I've seen play for the club..... and I am not in the group of people who up until recently had only ever known Wenger as manager. I've rarely watched a player so young and thought Wow......and that was without him scoring a 40 year old screamer or running really fast and all the usual eye catching stuff. His ability was one of the most striking and obvious I've ever seen simply by the way he received the ball, passed the ball, created space and moved into space.
It reminded me of when you ACTUALLY play football and before a player has done anything particularly significant to the actual result or score of a game it's just plainly obvious by virtually his first touch of the ball he is a cut above everybody else on the field. That's Fabregas.
His best days are probably past him but he is a genius of a football player. I remember Luis Aragones (I think it was) saying years ago Fabregas would write golden pages in Spanish football history based on his ability....and the Spanish produce millions of technically savvy players.
Did I really say scoring a 40 year old screamer?! Doh!
I thought I was talking about a young Rooney for a moment clearly.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
