What if Usmanov owned Arsenal?
I think Fabregas would have still broke through and cemented his place in the team as he still played plenty of games when Vieira was at the club in 04/05. I remember at Anfield in that same season when Gilberto was out, AW opted for this:

He was always destined to fulfil his early potential imo.
Apparently, Arsenal were interested in Appointing Sir Alex Ferguson as Arsenal Manager. This was when he was Manager of Aberdeen.
Could possibly have won a few trophies for us. We had the likes of Adams, Merson, coming through the Youth System.
Could have done well.
Hazard coming in maybe convinces RVP to stay, and then we get Santi the next summer…Was about to post that one. If we had gotten Hazard over Gervinho, man.
Or even getting Gervinho, but not getting him sent off in his debut against ****ing Barton.

But I mean, replace Gervinho with Hazard in the lineup below... gorgeous.

I really thought the crop of Afobe, Eastmond, JET, Lansbury, Bartley etc were the truth at the time but I think some of them got lost in the lifestyle. Saw two of those lads on night outs and I could tell they already thought they made it from their demeanour.
Had high hopes and a lot of time for AMN and Willock. Happy for Willock ngl but AMN needs to turn things around ASAP otherwise it could become a slippery slope from here.
Expect better from @2Smokeyy but I guess we all have our moments of weakness.
After coming up with the draft idea last year, @2Smokeyy still has a lot of leeway.
So threads like this can happen, but then the draft threads are there whenever you need a good dose of laughter.
Now if @Rex Bezos could only...
