He is in my book, from this perspective. Has there been any player who was on the trash heap and rose to an auto-pick in such a short period of time?
For years we waited for Van Persie, Ramsey to come good. We are still waiting for Wilshere. Walcott has about run out of time. I understand that injuries play a part (Diaby?) Sometimes, even without injuries, a slight lock of "e quality' means they are not capable. This includes players like Aliadiere, Senderos, now Chezzers. The Ox is still a work in progress.
How to explain Coquelin? I'm sure that if Wenger knew he'd bottle it and sell it. I guess it comes down to the player? Maybe he realized that if he wants to play for The Arsenal he was NOT the next Fabregas and embraced his defensive role.
But to think he was in the trash bin and would have only come out if we were not desperate is one of those head scratchers. I wish we knew!
