Fabregas or C. Ronaldo

Ok then, in simpler terms - both teams fit both descriptions. And Ronaldo is a better fit for the one I think (like I said, it's not really clear) you're trying to ascribe to Fabregas.

I think you're being argumentative for the sake of it, deep down you know which description fits which club, how many times when he game is going away from barca have we seen them resort to despicable cheat tactics, it's in their dna, do you need me to draw a picture?

I can see where HC is coming from, partly. This can clearly be labled at both clubs:

'one is at a club where card waving, diving, cheating, haranguing the ref'

Strikes me you can see where I'm coming from completely, VC.

Ronaldo was 'a born winner'

Fabregas had 'loser' written all over him. Won very little other than what he 'earns' from the bench.

I don't know which set of fans misses their respective ex-player the most. That's a subjective issue. But Ronaldo was, and will always be, the one most likely to contribute to success. That's an objective issue.

"I don't know which set of fans misses their respective ex-player the most. That's a subjective issue."

Which is a shame, as that was the question.

Much like Mr Brutus, the rest of your comment is a wooly, waffly put down. We all know Ronaldo is the better footballer. The OP is after opinions, or subjective responses if you must.

I think both sets of fans need to look at it from a football point of view.

For example, I don't think Arsenal, as a team and the way they play, will miss Fabregas that much. They still pass the ball about nicely, nad still get a fair abundance of goals playing good football.

United, on the other hand, haven't played consistantly good football since Ronaldo left.

I don't think there will be a difinitive answer though really.

It's also down to timing, before signin Ozil most gooners were desperate to see Cesc back... Now all of a sudden the club seems blessed in attacking mids

Likewise when Nani and Valencia were tearing it up and the club had just signed Young I'm sure there would have been less mancs keen on seeing ronaldo return

To answer the op, i'd say ronaldo, because he helped united achieve more.
