    Over the years, Wenger has fielded players who would rank alongside the worst ever to play for the club. It isnt really a problem if other players are great.

    Rami Shaban is one of the worst goalkeepers I have ever seen. Andre Santos. THat Greek centre back, Tavliridis? Various other cheap crap he picked up along the way.

    I'm sorry son, you really have no idea. I assume because you have youth on your side.

    Give me some names from before Gus Caesar and I will tell you if I am old enough to remember them.

    Matthews, Hawley, Ure, Wood, Rostron, Gould. Not to mention more recent players like Selley, McGoldrick, Carter, Helder....

    Bit unfair on old 'steady' Eddie there.

    Steven Hughes played under Wenger. Remi Garde. Imamoto. Park (come on, for ****s sake!).

    Stepanovs was no Bobby Moore. Fabian Caballero (came on as a sub, missed a sitter, chinned someone).

    Remi Garde was a very decent addition to the squad and played his part. Many of us thought Hughes was a future star.

    Nobody can say any of these things about Carter, Hillier and Selley. Notable that Wenger's apparent major failings are some time ago.

    Park! (Presumably the only place he was going to get a game....)

    I did for one.

    And I am known for my scouting abilities.

    I forgot Francis Jeffers. Nelson Vivas was ****ing useless.

    We were definitely excited to sign the fox in the box, he just didn't work out. Vivas, again did a reasonable job, bit of a thug, but far from the levels of Lydersen for example. Yes of course the far post goal against Leeds in 99 will always hang over him. The OP was right, things are not good right now, but you don't have to go back far to find far worse players in an Arsenal shirt. As for Park, he was a marketing exercise.
