Arteta, Sagna and Kos for me as they're probably the 3 most consistent players we have. Still got a soft spot for Cesc, always nice to see him do well.

Interesting to see some say Aguero, I've never really understood the hype about him. I've always got the impression he's a small game player. He puts a few past the likes of Norwich and Swansea at home but rarely produces away.

Did you watch City's last game last season?

Doesn't necessarily mean he's a big game player

Klaus

He's a big game player alright. Koscielny is the only centreback in Premier League who's been able to handle him.

squallkid

Didn't he score at Old Trafford in the league and at the Emirates in the League cup?

Think he scored against Liverpool also.

That's pretty big game if you ask me

Klaus

Was mostly the one who kept them in Champions League too. He took over most of the creative responsibility when Silva got found out.

Mirth

While he played for At. Madrid, Aguero scored against Barcelona and Real Madrid a several times, he scored in the final of the UEFA Super Cup and he scored against Chelsea in the Champions league.

got most of this off wiki, I just remembered him doing a number on Barcelona and Madrid on more than one occasion.

Bacary and Mikky. Can't pick one.

I definitely feel Aguero gets a little too much hype on here, but I still think he's a top, top striker.

Laurent Koscielny by a mile.

I think he gets way too little recognition compared to what players like van Persie got on here last year. It's expected on an Arsenal board though.

Kos is so bloody awesome. I can watch defenders like him all day.

To be fair to van Persie, he did win both the big individual awards last season and finished as top scorer - so it wasn't just Arsenal fans that rated him. I think he was better than Aguero last season by a distance, but looking forward I'd take Aguero over him every time.

Just don't think he's anywhere close to the second coming he's made out to be.

Was really struggling to pick one out of Wilshere, Arteta and Sagna but that gif just did it for me.
Aggressive, determined, even reckless but fantastic to see. Joining the bandwagon. Kos it is.

Aye, it's a fair point. People generally seem to hype up certain players while others are undervalued. I imagine that it's a combination of on-field performances and off-field branding. Personally I think Rooney and Agüero were every bit as good as Robin last year.

Tony Montana

Most people outside Arsenal think Koscielny is tosh.

My favourite player too but he's not universally recognised. I don't think any Arsenal player is now.

Timbob

During the Euro's Bobby Gould said live on Talksport that Koscielny wasn't even good enough for the Championship. He wasn't saying it for effect either, he was deadly serious. Nobody really even argued with him either.

I think that's part of the same trend. I felt that Robin was getting too much goodwill for "single-handedly saving our season". Listening to pundits and fans from opposing teams you'd be forgiven thinking that we finished 10th. Some absolutely ridiculous opinions were bandied around where van Persie was compared to Messi, Ronaldo and Henry. He was bigged up as the only Arsenal player worth a damn. That's why the likes of Arteta and Koscielny are criminally undervalued at the moment.

Tony Montana

Arsenal have not been taken seriously for years now.

Even in 2007-08 there were enough people who genuinely believed we would not win the league. Constantly laughing at us but we were the real deal. In the end they were right but they were so dismissive that I think they were shocked when it got to January and we were still there. And I know some were shocked because their arguments were venomous. When I had discussions about how good we were they got really pissed off in a way I haven't seen since. They knew we were a threat. Now they know we're not so all of a sudden they are saying, 'oh wow you play good football and Wenger's not so bad'. Bullshit. I am still so pissed off at that season because we could have had it. Wenger and Gallas let us down.
