Would really like to see him at Arsenal. Exactly the powerhouse midfielder we have lacked for many years!

we have xhaka and el nenny.......I think both have a lot to offer and are good enough. Lets not forget AMN who can play there and he will be fantastic. we have Willock as well.

Funny thing is doucoure is one of those signings we should have got prior to his move to Watford. Like kante he was rated. He's a different sorta midfielder to kante though. How is Wenger missing out on french players? Didn't this used to be his forte?

French players Wenger could and should have signed but for some bizarre reason choose not to:

Lloris....(joined Spurs for 12M)
Payet....(joined West Ham for 11M)
Lemar&Kante....(were offered to Wenger for just 12.5M when they were together at Caen)
Griezmann.....(was tired of waiting so decided to join Atletico)
Cabaye...(Joined Newcastle from Ligue 1 champions Lille for 4.5M)

Flamini was fine

Squillaci was decent everywhere bar here.

Sanogo was our best ever big game player according to Sweggeh, how he is missed. :(

Silvestre played many games under Ferguson and you cant be shit if we use the Welbeck logic on Silvestre according to another poster

Giroud......

Benzema cost Madrid something like 30M if I recall correctly and Wenger said he didn't know he was available lol

Flamini the second time round was beyond shit.

Squillacci was never good enough

Sanogo is not a footballer.

Silvestre was finished even before he became a ManUre castoff.

Giroud done ok for the fee we paid. But his style of play proved very detrimental overall.

Flamini brought out the best in Ramsey in 2013.
