Shame for him, hope it works out. There was a glimpse of his capability vs United.
I do think we shouldn't have brought him in though.

How was Arsenal supposed to know on Jan. 30 that Suarez would suffer a groin injury a few weeks later?
Plenty of worse ones.This is a candidate for worst ever signing.
I don't feel hatred for the guy but this move didn't even feel right when he wasn't injured. he barely played, he showed very little and he wasn't the player we needed anyway. Doesn't seem to have done much to win over the fans (who were initially supportive of him) or his team-mates.Not sure why there's so much hate toward Denis Suarez here. The guy injured his groin against BATE in February and it hasn't been right since. He should get some credit for trying to carry on, but you can't expect someone carrying such an injury to make a big splash. We'll never know how well Denis might have performed had he been healthy and that's a shame. But it's one of those things. It's not like he injured himself on purpose. Show some compassion people.
In the last 20 or so years? No, I wouldn't say plenty. You have to factor in what a player costs when you evaluate a transfer's worth.Plenty of worse ones.

Elneny has played 50 odd games. Better or worse one knows why he was signed and yeah he looked like a decent bench option. But we did not really have a need for another small tidy midfielder and he hasn't been played even when he was fit. So no, I don't think Elneny was a worse signing than him no way.You are on a forum where people think Elneny is a good signing because he was cheap. Given that D. Suarez came for free on loan this is probably classed as world class signing.
How, we didn't really sign him and he didn't really play? I'd say it was up there with the weirdest. Xhaka was/is a worse signing. and Mustafi?... **** me with a flaming Dothraki sword.This is a candidate for worst ever signing.
Of course we signed him on loan. he's been on our books since January and he has been paid every week.How, we didn't really sign him and he didn't really play? I'd say it was up there with the weirdest. Xhaka was/is a worse signing. and Mustafi?... **** me with a flaming Dothraki sword.

The loan fee is negligible, it's not like he took funds away from signing someone else since permanent signings weren't possible in January. I'd say Lucas Perez, Mustafi, Elneny, Asano, Gervinho, Squillaci, Silvestre, Amaury Bischoff, Stepanovs, Jeffers and Park Chu-Young off the top of my head.In the last 20 or so years?

We were paying his wages with a view to buying him. I wouldn't call that a signing, even if it's 'signed on loan'. We've really signed far worse players that have proven to be far worse by contributing regularly to our sh!t seasons. For me, they're worse signings, because they'll either run their huge contracts down or we'll lose money on them should we ever be lucky enough to shift them. All the while, they're ****ing useless where it matters. So it's a lose, lose , lose.Of course we signed him on loan. he's been on our books since January and he has been paid every week.
Same as for Elneny, the fact you don't like an individual player does not make him one of the worst signings when the manager(s) have played him. Mustafi has few supporters here now - but it wasn't always the case - and there are people here who still think Xhaka is a good player. If you can send me video highlights of Suarez's best Arsenal performance it would make for interesting viewing.

Using the criteria of games played, transfer fee, wages, contribution only Jeffers is a possible candidate out of those three with Lucas Perez (also often lionised here) a possible.Lucas Perez, Mustafi & Francis Jeffers were worse off the top of my head.
Maybe Gallas as well.
