He listened to his trusted scout. When he didn’t listen to others, A-M called him a dictator.

During Arteta’s reign alone:
Raphina - absolute 1 trick pony
Ziyech - see above
Tielemans - liability off the ball
Mudryk - Ukrainian Dan James
Coutinho - wage leech
Douglas Luiz - wouldn’t have signed Dec

Agree with all that although I think had we signed Luiz we still would have signed Dec. Wouldn’t have signed Jorginho. We’re still after him arent we?
Jack Rodwell was great on Fifa
,not sure which year,but I would buy him cheap and win games with him.

Joe Cole. When Joe left Chelsea in 2010, I heard on Talksport that Liverpool and Arsenal were keen on signing him. I think presenter Adrian Durham mentioned it. My ears were glued to the radio, waiting for updates that they were going to give.
Was a bit disappointed to hear that he was signing for Liverpool.

Salomon Kalou. There was a mad scramble for him, and he didn’t really turn out to be all that.

Emi Buendia. Shame on you Arsenal fans who were willing to let Aston Villa fans rattle you because of a championship winger.
Should put pics of Raya's missus on the wall pre Burnley.Remember how Wilshere put up pictures of Higuains wife in the dressing room
None of that dressing room have issues with being up.

Would be mental if we went for him. Pep didn't even use him while Rodri was unavailable - he literally played other people out of position rather than use him.

I think Caicedo is a flop. He gives away the ball a lot, gets turned, just stands there impotent... Brighton are doing witchcraft

Draxler, Fabregas.
For me Draxler is a player who could have had a totally different career had he joined Arsenal when we were linked. Wenger clearly saw something in him, and he had a good profile. Tall strong technical and both footed, skillful and good striker of the ball.
Instead he stayed at Schalke for a couple years too long then went to PSG to warm the bench during his prime years. Such a waste of a career.
Why not get both ffs?
instead we got Walcott scoring a few goals to ensure A-M liked him enough and then goes into stealth mode for the rest of the season

What? We came third that year
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
Yeah, wasn't Bellerin with us at the time? Surely you get desperate and everyone looks so much better when you starting RB is a useless vegan
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
That's the point of the thread, I'm glad we didn't sign him as his personality wasn't a good fit for us

Weren't we also interested in Michu back in the day?
what's so hard to understand? getting Giroud and Auba in 2012 would have been great.
Made mistake tho, 2012-2013 season Walcott was great and someone gonna crucify me for this. His decline started in 2013-2014.
I should have wrote Gervinho
PS : I am derailing the thread
Walcott was playing well in 13/14 before his injury.
