Yeah, I feel like Cedric gets a lot of unwarranted shot from our fan base. He was never going to take us to the next level, but he was a good squad player. Very low drama, always willing to step in when needed, and usual put in okay performances.
As for Elneny, yeah, he’s such a good guy, and a very solid player. He’s another one who is a humble, low-drama, good squad player - though he was more consistent and higher quality that Cedric. And he scored some fantastic bangers over the years. He was another player who got unwarranted shit from some gooners. But he brought so much to our squad.
Cedric for me will always be noted for when he stepped in for Tomi’s first big injury and actually did decently well lol. The one fullback who could actually stay fit.
Cedric was also supposed to be a good leader and role model for the team. One of the leaders in the club.
Felt like a player who just put his head down and did what he was asked, and as you mentioned, doesn’t look for the drama or attention.
Like a lot of previous players who copped stick, Holding, Xhaka (before his redemption arc), people are looking for something to blame and I think Cedric was a convenient scapegoat.
Not a player to push us further forward, but he played a role in other seasons when needed.
Must say, Cedric wasn’t that bad for us overall. Definitely not nearly good enough though.
Elneny obviously was class throughout, I have literally 0 complaints about the man.

I wish them both the very best.
