Think Guendouzi will wait to see if the Barca interest is true before making any decision.
Even city are rumoured to be interested. We could make more money selling to those clubs

How TF was Sanogo starting games for us FFS.
He looked like a newly born calf with the ball at his feet

One of the worst players I’ve ever seen in an Arsenal shirt. Had zero technique, composure, etc.. remember when we loaned him to Ajax and the De Boer brothers said he was useless

Not as egregious but Grimandi messed up the Koscielny deal as well. The year he was playing for Tours he rejected the chance to sign him for 1M and then paid ten times that to Lorient a year later.

What decent deal did he get done ? I mean Sagna was a very good one but apart from that ?
Country: Wales
So many elite players right under his nose for years.
Honestly believed croneyism is what killed Arsène’s time here. We needed a Dein figure who was able to overrule Wenger and fire and hire the supporting staff if they weren’t performing.
Apparently the club was faced with a choice of Szczesny and Gerry Peyton after they fell out and they chose Peyton
We sold our goalkeeper for a coach who the players openly laughed at. Don’t even blame Cech for being as bad as he was, working with that clown week in week out.

Diaby who you could argue was either brilliant or disastrous.
Imo I’d say Diaby was a great spot. Never known an unluckier player in terms of injuries, really looked like the real deal at times.
Reine-Adelaide was a great find too if that was him..
Country: Iceland
We could have signed Mbappé for 350k before his breakout season if he didn't refuse us because he thought he was too young to move.
Don't know if Grimandi was involved in that.

You know he’s a pretty bad scout when his answer to “who’s the greatest player you’ve scouted?” Is:
““I hate hearing a scout assuming the responsibility of a success or the signing of a player. I hear a lot, ‘I made him sign’. But you never hear ‘I’m the one who refused to sign him’ … we all make mistakes. The success of a player is the result of a sum of things”.
Then in the very next question goes on to say how he never thought Ribery would make it

So how many nonces did we have in crucial positions during that time?

Unbelievable. He was our scout in a time where you could pick up probably 4 Arsenal worthy talents on any footy playground in the suburbs of Paris. But no.

Kos was a hell of a spot though, even if he nearly ****ed it up ( per my boy @Rex Banter ) have to give Gilles credit for that.
Peak Kos was perfect for what Arsène wanted in a defender.

Nah man you’re joking?
That means we could’ve had Kante, MBappe, Griezmann and Aubameyang.
That’s a CL winning team ffs.

Wish we had signed Van Dijk in 2014 when he was at Celtic. Would've been a perfect partnership alongside KoscielnyKos was a hell of a spot though, even if he nearly ****ed it up ( per my boy @Rex Banter

Should have just given Southampton the combined fees we paid for Xhaka, Peres and Mustafi in summer 2016 for big Virgil...life would have been so much better then.

League is very weak
It’s better than now though, we’re just signing trash from Kia now. There is no scouting.

He was available for less than 75m wasn't he ? But I'm talking about when he was at Celtic still. We were linked with him in 2013-14 but one of our scouts turned him down

Begs the question why you'd appoint someone as scout who was so pathetic as a player.
