Lionel Messi 🐐

Which signing takes the cake for Arsene’s worst signing in the Emirates era?

Yeah, same.

Suarez is the only player who still gives me a moment of hesitation, God-like as he was, but I think even signing him wouldn’t have meant a league title.

Mustafi

Andre Santos made me feel like I was good enough to play for Arsenal.

Mustafi made me feel this the most. It is so easy to screw up every situation and point at other players and play dumb whilst huffing and blaming and sulking. Give me £100k a week for that i would be sooooo happy.

Mustafi was the ā€œkeyā€ player that gave us the 20 (or 22?) game unbeaten streak.
Santos was just a part time player…

Edu had BBQs at home, probably Santos had BBQ in Emirates Stadium…

Andre Santos was an alright footballer.
People hate him needlessly.

There were much worse players in our books.

Start of Emirates Era until that CL matchup:

Arsenal vs United
3 Wins
1 Draw
2 Losses

Very reasonable record, effectively even. This was with some of United’s better teams as well before the old guard was washed.

Post CL Matchup (Until Ferguson’s Retirement):

1 Wins
2 Draw
7 Losses

Christ alive, I wish I didn’t check.

Do you know he played a season in the Indian Super League?

Ha, no I didnt

Lol, I think he played for some Boa team. I remember Lucio and Pires also passed from there.

Edit: It’s FC Goa and oh my days, they actually played together. :rofl:

Good to see an Arsenal connection with Goa

There’s plenty to choose from Kallstrom deserves a mention, although signing Chamakh, Park, Gervinho, after saying he’d only buy ā€œsuper qualityā€ was frustrating.

But spending record amounts on Mustafi, Xhaka and Perez, in the same window, is hard to beat.

Yeah, I don’t normally watch the ISL, as it’s called here, but I remember watching a few games that season, just for Bobby & Freddie. The other notable names that played are Elano, David James, Del Piero, Berbatov, Forlam and Trezeguet.

Silvestre tops most of those names.

In what way has Messi made America a better place? :thinking:

Messi was decent but this will always be the best no touch dribble ever
