Players you’re glad we didn’t sign…

[Tir Na Nog]

Christopher Samba and Martin Hangeeland spring to mind

Scott Dann, for about 3 years the likes of Alan Shearer and the entirity of talksport were telling us he'd fix our defensive problems

 

[Andrew Cole Linighan]

This is Arsenal fan Andrew, on two possible Arsenal targets, both named Andrew.

Andy Townsend.


When George Graham was Arsenal manager, believe that he was interested in signing Andy Townsend from Chelsea. Andy was good at what he did, could have been a good signing. Think Roy Keane would have been a better target, when he was at Nottingham Forest.

Andy Sinton.


Believe that George Graham was interested in Andy Sinton from QPR. The left winger could also play at left back. Could have been a good reliable signing. Would he have had the same Cult Hero Status as Anders Limpar?

 

[North5]

Loric Cana (even though he had a very entertaining YouTube vid he was a walking red card ) and Muddick

Wish havertz could be on this list though

 

[Mitch]

I remember the being new article with interview Stuart Peace after we signed Bergkamp. Pearce was questioning why we spent that money on Bergkamp and they money would have better been spent on Stan Collymore.

 

[Maybe]

Gonzalo Higuain

Didn't he score like loads of goals while we were playing that French donkey instead, with Özil, Sanchez, and Cazorla behind him?

Don’t think we get Özil and Higuain both.

 

[Maybe]

The next is Nuri Sahin. Wenger tried to sign him on three separate occasions. Thankfully it failed every time. When he finally got his move to the Premier League, he looked utterly out of his depth.

Nah, he was a good player at the time we were playing Denilson or some trash. Wenger could've used his technical quality unlike Liverpool, it would've been a completely different player for us but he didn't push himself enough after Dortmund, think his career was finished in Madrid

hope you are not soft like @GDeep™ who would take Özil over Higuain

Higgy is a bottler

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

The cooking:

You don’t think he would have? He was glorious for Napoli una

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Vardy would’ve cooked under Wenger too

Some shambles of names being thrown around here by AG

 

[A_G]

When Cazorla and Wilshere were injured for months in 13/14, who would’ve created chances for Higgy?

You take Özil over Higuain all day long. Been said a million times but the mistake we made back then was thinking Giroud was the answer. A very frustrating period. It didn't even have to be a Higuain level scorer either.

Ramsey

Ramsey

He missed half the season that year

 

[Macho]

I felt we could have done with prime Higgy but I’m enjoying the @A_G slander

We needed both him and Özil anyways, shame the board wasn’t more ambitious at the time.

 

[GDeep™]

Don’t think we get Özil and Higuain both.

Wenger said it was Özil or Higiain. Glad he picked Özil over that Argentinian donkey.

 

[GDeep™]

Was actually going to post him but didn’t want the inevitable lecture from @GDeep™ about how he’s better than EVERY striker we’ve had since RVP.

Vardy has been excellent though, just till recently where he’s obviously got old. Would’ve been a great signing.

IKEA boy thinks this would’ve been a title challenge front 6:
Arteta-Flamini
Walcott-Ox-Podolski
Higuain

Yeah I was glad we didn’t get him at the time, but he proved me wrong with his longevity.

I thought he was a bit one note, but his variety of finishes he would have been fine.

We got Auba in the end anyways and he probably would have had the same fate (eventually forced out wide, then phased out for more of a target man).
