Arteta
Xhaka
Welbeck

No point naming players who were bought and hardly played

These 3 have been first teamers and worse than anyone

Denilson, Gervinho, Santos, Bendtner and Almunia

Why them? Because despite their obvious shitness, Wenger kept on and on and on picking them.

----------------------------------------------------Manuel Almunia----------------------------------------------------

Hector Bellerin--------------Igor Stepanovs----------Sébastien Squillaci---------------Andre Santos

-------------------------------------Glen Helder------------------Denilson-----------------------------------

------------------Nicklas Bendtner-------------------------------------------------Danny Welbeck--------------

------------------------Yaya Sanogo -----------------------------Marouane Chamakh--------------------------

Bench

Pascal Cygan
Shkodran Mustafi
Armand Traore
Yohann Djourou
Francis Jeffers
Kim Kallstrom
Chuba Akpom

I'm not including guys like Inamoto who was a very good player who never got a chance and was brought to sell shirts, Park Chu-Young who was again never given much of a chance then ruined afterwards, guys like Bischoff and Mendez who never played and where minor signings anyway.

The only harsh one is Kallstrom who is in there essentially because he was useless, we brought him and he was injured for 2 months!!!!!

The overwhelming theme here is defenders and cheap attackers and defenders between 2008-2015. All of these players had consistent game time yet all despite one or two good moments where consistently or have been currently consistently shit for our club.

The Chu-Young signing is the most baffling of all time.

I'm still convinced we only signed him to boost shirt sales in Asian markets.

Christopher Wreh was quite good, he scored some important goals for us then he went downhill rapidly.

Why are People wasting their time talking about nothing money players and free agent flops like free agent Kim Kallstrom, £5 million Denilson, Free agent / walking injury Bischoff, £5 million Sanogo etc. Lets include some big money flops like £43 million / £350,000 a week man aka disappearing act magician Ozil. :think:

Eboue is a legend but he was nowhere near ‘one of our best RBs’
