Ex-Gunner Watch

Without him being poorly advised, we probably keep him, never upgrade our training ground and don't get Henry etc. I would love to see how an alternative scenario played out. For Balogun and Co, that's the standard you aim for at their age. Its a massive contrast to Nketiah

Still really regret that we never resigned him in the January before Eduardo broke his leg. Pretty sure Van Persie was already injured at that point as well. I think with Anelka we probably win the title. Another one of those what ifs from that time period.

What the ****...




... ridiculous Sol slander in that middle tweet

That guy needs a good beating tbh, he’s got the face for it, silly ****.

You would be lucky to find a better performing CB for England anywhere in time, always seemed to be fantastic for his country.

 

[Riou]

Good luck to Auba tonight, hopefully he takes one step closer to winning a European trophy, that he would very much deserve!

 

[Riou]

Son could never mix his skill with winning multiple major trophies...



...though Son probably won't send dirty emails to work colleagues, so we will call it a draw between the 2 of them!

Such a shame Arsène arrived when he was already 30, his ability on the ball was so underrated...



...the best English CB ever, had everything.

A couple of better English CBs in my book
No one reads my book though

Good.

Stick to the Fighting ****...you can dust off Kane and Son's empty trophy cabinet over there, with all the other losers.

I’d rather be me tbh than clinging on to past trophies and achievements

Riou you are truly mudded

Still love and respect you and hope to match with you on Grindr soon xx

Kos is the best Arsenal CB of the last 20 years.

Obviously I just caught the end of his career, but he is widely regarded as the best English defender and leader ever.

In many ways he was a little unfortunate that the bulk of his career was before the PL era and the explosion of English football.

What about Mertesacker? Vermaelen? Senderos?

This is a Riou level opinion.

Who was better? I think he had a longer run than Per. White and Gabriel can’t defend. Vermaelen, Mustafi etc were poor.

One of my top 5 Emirates era players.

Does Campbell count? If not then you might be right tbh. It amazes me how many awful players we’ve had in the Emirates era.

However Koscielny was poor with every CB pairing apart from Mertesacker. He would play at the level of who he was next to like Djourou, Vermaelen and Mustafi. That Kos/Mustafi pairing was a nightmare.

 

[Riou]

If we are not counting Sol, then I would say the only better CB than Kos in that time is Kolo...also assume we are not talking about Adams and Keown at their best here.

If we are just talking Emirates era, then I would say he was the best...though if someone said Per was the better, then I wouldn't argue too much, as he is a close second for me.

Not been a great collection for us since the stadium move though...

Gallas was very good, but caused a lot of **** here...Djourou I quite liked, but despite having everything you wanted in a CB for a Wenger team, he didn't have the mental attributes to put it together...Verm, good but a little overrated...Luiz, far too inconsistent.

Gabriel and White are up there, tbh...but the fact 2 very recent players are high up the list, shows that CBs at the Emirates haven't been that great on a consistency level.
