Which players would you have liked to see at Arsenal for longer ? Forget the likes of Pires, Henry etc who became greats for us, but players who didn't stay for long. Players like: Stefan Schwarz Davor Suker Jose Antonio Reyes Any more ?? I think Suker would've been a great player for us, one of the best strikers of the generation ...
Suker was past his his best when he joined us.Don't forget he was only a make weight in the Anelka transfer to Madrid
Lassana Diarra Mathieu Flamini In fact, most of the 07/08 squad. We should have won the title that year, had it not been for the total lack of confidence after the Eduardo injury.
Great shout Diarra - pish poor attitude and a dressing room cancer though. Edu and Flamini, if both had stayed we would not have trophyless in the past few season. Going back further, Micky Thomas because he was a great player and because he will be forever associated with one of the most incredible moments in football history not just our history, was only 24/25 when he left.
Carlos Vela i think he had a lot of potential . we just never got to see it. Senderos ? Why the hell do we not have Viera in our side still. What a player
speaking of a few fancy chips - Suker was the chip master !! GoonerC, thats as well as may be, but he scored a few gems for us so if that was past his best I'll have some of that.
flamani hleb fabregas would create a great team now! imagine a midfield of song flamani wilshere with hleb RVP and gervinho in the front 3 song would add the strength, flamani and wilshere would just be everywhere! and hleb n gervinho would destory teams!
Arsenal team based on players we could have realistically kept if we upped our wages: -------------------------------Szczesny------------------------------------- Sagna------------Vermaelen---------Touré---------------Clichy----------- --------------------Song---------------Diarra------------------------------- ---------Wilshere-----------Flamini---------------Nasri-------------------- -----------------------------Van Persie------------------------------------ That team would be brilliant, in my opinion.
On 28 January 2011, Vela joined West Bromwich Albion on loan until the end of the 2010–11 season. On 15 August 2011, Arsenal announced that Vela would be loaned out to Spanish club Real Sociedad, subject to a medical. After passing the medical exams, he was officially presented on 17 August 2011. he not really still with us is he.
