When I joined the forums, I remember Yoann Gourcuff being all the rage, several people saying he'd be a great potential replacement for Cesc etc. Pretty sure everyone on here are thankful for that not happening, especially given Wenger's tendency to stick with injury plagued players etc. Marvin Martin is another shout. Hell, any semi-hyped Ligue 1 player.
Oh, you guys remember Jean Michael Seri? The guy who was clearly Barca quality? The guy I was totally incapable of judging because I didn't watch every Ligue 1 game like that other dude? No?

This type of stuff infuriates me. On the other page of crap players I posted, so many people were critical of my posts because I picked out very obvious flaws despite only watching a few matches. I mean, how long does it take to work out Andre Santos can't defend, Gervinho had no brain, El Nenny isn't creative etc etc? If it takes you 38 games a season to come to conclusions on a player whilst it takes 2-3 for someone else then you have to ask whether the guy watching 38 games actually knows football.

Always wondered how Gourcuff would fit in an Arsenal squad as well. The guy genuinely moved with the ball like Zidane did sometimes.
Has to be Thomas Lemar if any truth in the 100m fee.

Gourcuff's phantom career has to be one of the great enigmas. His natural talent is unreal.

Was a superbly gifted player in a technical sense.
More of a coward than Mkhitaryan though.
Apparently when the French camp at the 2010 WC started infighting he was bullied by the likes of Nasri for his bourgeois tastes and what that implied. Apparently he just caved in, failing to stand up for himself. Think it was confirmed by Domenech as well.

Looking at the Newcastle team just reminded me of another name in Mo Diame.
Yeah, his talent was never in question.. His mentality and injuries is what stopped him from reaching the heights he could have.. I think it was him who refused to play unless he felt 100% fine, wouldn't play through a bit of pain at all.

Terrible hot takes

You'd think that but we're talking about an Algerian-French youth who grew up in a rough neighbourhood in Marseilles.

I swear there was a period where Allardyce played Samba as a striker
I'm certain that it happened in the 2008-2009 season after Allardyce took over at Blackburn.

Anyone said Fellani yet? i remember when he was at Everton so many people said he'd be perfect for our midfield. So glad we didnt sign that ****.
On the first page.
I'm ashamed to admit I wanted him at the time there were rumours of Wenger triggering his release clause. Must have fallen for all the "Arsenal need steel in midfield" hype.

Fellaini and Schneiderlin.

Fellaini should be the No 1 on any list....
(I was rooting for him at one point.....I don't know what I was smoking...lol)
Schneiderlin and Payet are obvious choices as well.
Jesus Navas and James Milner.... We dodged those bullets too.

You know what as well, I do also remember when we were so close to signing Suarez and some people didn't want him here because of the bite and him in general being a c*nt. I think they should all be called out.
