We were better as a team when we were playing the likes of Gibbs, Jenkinson, Gervinho, Podolski, Denilson, Walcott, Giroud.
These players were better at their prime than fans give them credit for. Aubameyang and Lacazette are sidegrades from Giroud. Walcott was an important outlet of our attack for many years and Bellerin has looked a pale shadow attacking wise without him. Gervinho is a unique talent and was successful at Roma after leaving us. 2008-2010 Denilson would be our best midfielder ATM if he was playing for us. Podolski was a limited player but a great option on the bench and always lethal. Gibbs and Jenkinson were promising prospects at one stage of their career.
Many years from now people are going to look back at our current team and the idea that fans though Xhaka could become Alonso is going to be laughable.
