I was a huge Reyes fan and I remember desperately wanting us to sign Baptista when he was at Sevilla. The issue was Wenger never used him correctly so we ended up getting a version of him that was useless. Don’t think he even started many league games for us he was predominantly a sub
Notice his best performance came against Liverpool when he was dropping deep and playing and starting attacks from the traditional CAM role (even though I believe he was deployed as a striker)
Personally I wish we got to see the best of Reyes but I think he hated living in England and hated the treatment he got from opposition teams like United. Wasn’t mentally strong enough and I also think the issue with Aragones racial abuse of Henry didn’t really help either and probably created some tension in the team too
