3. Ashley Cole
The famous quote that defined Ashley Cole’s Arsenal departure was: “£55,000? David Dein is taking the piss Jonathan” As a player Arsenal took in at a young age, Gunners fans saw Cole as one of their own. He was Arsenal born and bred and the fact that he was world-class only added to the affection they had for him. Arsène Wenger nurtured the young left-back into the best full-back in the world, as he embodied what the modern full-back needed to be.
Cole would eventually secure his move to the wealthy Chelsea for a measly fee of £5mllion with Willian Gallas going the other way. The way he moved and how his relationship deteriorated with the club were both controversial. In 2005, it was found out that Chelsea had tried to tap up Cole behind Arsenal’s back, a decision they were later fined for.
After uttering the aforementioned quote, he was forever known as Cashley Cole by the Arsenal fans. However, Cole will see his departure as justified as he would go onto win the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, 4 FA Cups, the Europa League, and the League Cup.
