Players you’re glad we didn’t sign

[Big Poppa]

As the season draws to a close and transfer muppetry begins, I wanted to look back to the recent past at players we were heavily linked to, who came close to joining or you wanted, but with hindsight are glad we didn’t sign.

Exhibit A: Yann M’vila

I was sure Yann M’vila was tailor made for our midfield but having seen him at Sunderland during their disaster season and thereafter, I lit definitely feels like we dodged a bullet.

I remember his medical being announced by ITKs for a solid 2 months.

For me hard to beat Christopher Samba. I was well on his hype train as well

Fellaini

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Loric Cana.

 

[SA Gunner]

Junior Hoilett another who we always got linked to was at Blackburn same time as samba.

Who was that Birmingham CB that always got mentioned as coming here?

 

[Maybe]

Thomas Lemar for me. Reported price was about 80m, Wenger really wanted the guy and he didn't come for whatever the reason was. That one could've been Mustafi x3

 

[Garrincha]

Denis Suarez.

 

[Wiltord's left boot]

Joey Barton

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Benzema I think. A lot of quality but never liked him.

 

[yybecause]

Vrsaljko

 

[A_G]

Diame, Malouda, Jackson Martinez, Luiz Gustavo

 

[Rex Stone]

Loric Cana.

@albakos gonna come for you

 

[Furious]

Schneiderlin. Mediocrity embodied.

Called that from day one on here. @GDeep™ and the others shouted me down of course.

You put him on a wishlist tho...

In terms of recent seasons we’ve dodged some bullets, few land mines.

-Romelu Lukaku
-Aleskandr Kokorin
-Jean Michael Seri

Could potentially slip Thomas Lemar in there.. he’s had an awful season. But I do have sympathy for attacking players in a Simeone team. Still reckon Lemar could do a madness here- but his own performances have been well below bar at a higher level.

Thought you’d come for me, as a rebuttal from the very top of the page to the bottom.
