Im sure he'd have been a better player had he stayed than he is right now
He was never the same after he was kicked and fouled all over the park by Neville while the ref just watched, laughed and gave a penalty for a Rooney dive.
Yeah, he lost it after that game. Never understood why Wenger didn't push him up front to play with Henry. He had a good left foot on him and still remember the Chelsea goals during the Invincible season. He started playing there and then Wenger switched him to the left flank and defenders were always wiping him out on the touch line.
Can't understand why Wenger was even playing a left footer down that side when we traditionally play a right footer there like Overmars and Petit. Oh well. He's done nothing since leaving and he was young when he left us. Can't really blame Wenger for his downfall on this one. He's done nothing since leaving and should be in his prime now.
He won Real Madrid the league in 2007 tbh
But he's never gone on to have that career we all hoped for. He was tipped to be one of the best players in Spain and it hasn't happened.
