Arshavin - very skilful player who was well worth a punt at the price.
Squillaci - total mistake, came on a free but overpaid to not even feature on bench.
Djourou - Not expensive signing, came up through youth ranks and is run of the mill but should not have renewed his contract
Bendtner - Was extremely promising young player and has a fantastic scoring record for Denmark. Rather disappointed he wasn't given a proper run at centre-forward.
Santos - Panic buy. Blame the 8-2 at Manu and the financial "prudence" which lost us first Cole, then Clichy.
Chamakh - Had a good scoring record and started off well. Came on a free. Mystery to me why he was bombed afterwards.
Ramsey - There was virtual unanimity at how good and promising he was when we signed him . His injury and loss of form does not make him a bad signing, what has happened was simply not foreseeable.
Denilson - Looked like he could do a job, then stalled. Perhaps a victim of accumulating too many players with similar build and characteristics.
Rosicky - Poor signing? Do me a favour! A class player who has been spoiled for us by injuries or whatever but most of us were delighted when we signed him. Last season gave us a glimpse of what might have been.
Diaby - Again, who could have foreseen he would be a crock when he arrived? He looked like a more skilful Vieira. And he was cheap.
