Cesc had nothing to do with Song, song wanted to stay at arsenal but the arsenal board wanted to get the money for him




Yes.

I guess I really overrated the educationsystem in Belgium then

Ofc he said he loved them. He wanted to part on good terms, cuz before the sale everything didn't go very smoothly. That doesn't change the fact, that his sale unsettled RVP, Nasri etc and that he put his own priorities ahead of the club. He didn't do a Modric, but the transfer itself. was fucked up. I understand u might like him, but u won't be able to change the fact that Cesc's departure had a huge negative impact on a club as he was their core player and there was no way Arsenal wanted to sell him. He didn't give a fuck about it then.

I agree with everything but the last thing, no one could know that this will make a chain reaction.

i think it was pretty clear that selling the player that was carrying the club would cause a slide in form/other players to want to leave

Ok you know how win Arsenal? Buy Arouca for 10 m euros, Arouca is so good defens midfield!!!

Well idk... At least in UK everyone knew that Cesc's departure meant Arsenal gonna go into rebuilding. He simply was irreplacable. And it's just natural, that other big names will want to leave. Being unable to hold onto their main star is a huge negative impact on the rest.
