Bob or Cesc: Which former Arsenal midfielder gave you more ‘wow’ moments?
Welcome to Throw The Topic (formerly Fantasy Debate)
This is where a debatable question/topic is posed for your responses. The comment with the most number of thumbs up will obviously be the best response made in the debate.
Today’s topic is:
Who wowed you more during his days at Arsenal – Robert Pires or Cesc Fabregas?
This may be a tough one but isn’t that the point of ‘Throw the Topic’ discussions anyway?
If you had to pick between Fabregas and Pires for who was the better attacking midfielder for Arsenal over the last decade, who would it be?
Let the talk begin!

They’re both as shite as each other!
LadyArse Why dont you just stay down White Shite Lane !!! Spurs fans have you not got anything better to do?
Robert pires is better than fabregas pires is the hero of UNBEATEN
I loved both of them equally, the question is a bit unfair because they were different types of players. Arsenal wasted the potential of Fabregas though by not giving him a team to win things with, Pires on the other hand had Bergkamp, Henry and Ljunberg to compliment him with. Fab had Adebeyor!
Why don’t you just sit on the fence!!!!!
Shouldn’t it be ‘Who shone?’
Bobby
Actually Shined and Shone are both correct forms of the past tense of Shine. They are used by choice. Neither is wrong.
shine (sh n) v. shone (sh n) or shined, shin·ing, shines. v.intr.
1. To emit light. 2. To reflect light; glint or glisten.
There you have it, Mr. Smart Ass 😀
fag is good but robert was great
Who won titles and played a big role in contributing to his team? Pires left arsenal a winner fab left arsenal a loser and a quitter. Pires for me is a legend as much as Henry and bergkamp at one point he just couldn’t stop scoring amazing goals.
Robert Pires was a true master, one of Arsenal’s Great players, Cesc could have been an Arsenal great but chose to go home before he reached his best!
Pires by a Mile for me !
Spot on, Bobby would have (and should have) retired with us if not for Arsenes over 30 policy. A true Arsenal legend, and an incredibly skillful footballer.
Both were great during thea era
pires fabulous player, though cesc’s a bit more technically gifted (passing)
Pires!has more goal,created more opportunities for mates,faster and more skillful!!!was a real entertainer!!!!!!
Fabregas
P’se Bob, i hope u didn’t bring this debate by just looking at Barca then u came with this assumptions. To set the ball rolling, even upto the end Fab’s career in football will never reach to that peak Pires. He’s another man wenger has failed to find of his kind. He was very good tackler with very dangerous interceptions with high pace, could put defences on tension and when he could reach in the box, his targets were always accurates even when he broke his leg, he still remain a man to watch on the pitch

I’d like Pires better. I think because the topic say, “Which one give you ‘wow’ moments”, i’ll choose Pires. But, indeed Fabregas has a lot more potential to show. The think is he never get the best chance like Pires had. In Arsenal he is the heart of the team, but another players didn’t support him much. In Barca, he not more as an additional good member. His presence not really better than Thiago or even Busquet. At least he thirst about throphy has been satisfied there. Pires like we all know, has all the support he needs in club as well in country. He maybe not the heart of the team, but he like a vein who support the heart and that irreplaceable
Shined? I vote Pires, as he was a loyal and legendary player unlike Cesc.
Pires, he won us titles and tings. Cesc would have been great in those teams but as it stands its Super Rob!
i think pires was the best attaking on those days bt i wil go fo fabrigas who fo me was best both in the midle of the park & center foward he was reading the game and was good a passing & scored goals
Bobby any day!
He had an awkward running style tho lol
