Oh I completely forgot about Wilshere, I'd have him in my team too, just not sure who to take out lol

It’s hearting to see so many Fabio Vieira fans here

I really liked Kos but the way he left was sad. If our pair of CB isn't so good now he would be easily in the list. Sol had some mental breakdown too and my memories of him in the latter Arsenal career wasn't that fantastic.

Heartening to see so many Arshavin fans

Also can't take to Sagna for some reason. I have a mental block on every player that gone to City.

Meatwad

i don't because the more i look back the less fond i am of wenger. everyone who left for city (and united and barca) was right to do so. wenger wasn't about winning at that point.

Meatwad Wenger sacrificed his own legacy for the club. Without him we wouldn't have the Emirates and we'd look like chumps if we were still in Highbury. His biggest failing was he didn't stand up to Stan enough in those years and demand more investment.

Meatwad

not standing up for the resources you need to win is a part of him not being about winning. we weren't a club for serious footballers. you only sacrifice income for winning. what's the point of losing and making less money?

the first 10 years were great, minus the bottle jobs in the league in 2002-03 league and 2003-04 champions league. but the next 10 were rough.

Fuck me, what a player.

He's progressed every season he's been here. When you spot something he needs to improve upon, he does it. I don't think non-arsenal fans have quite caught up yet, but they will.

I could watch this video all day.

Your eyes don’t deceive you. We are watching a god. And to do all of this with such flourish.

goon I could watch this video all day.

Think I've watched it about 5 or 6 times now. Mesmerising.

Clrnc currently my favorite footballer to watch. Everything he does - the combination of work rate, thinking ahead of everyone else, the technical quality, imagination, the efficiency. There are so many pieces he puts together in a way nobody else does.

Burnwinter

Clrnc There's quite a good recent Athletic write-up on how Ødegaard quickly creates space when getting on the ball here.

Ødegaard's skill on the ball epitomises effectiveness over flashiness … he's absurdly good at head and body fakes based on his reading of the local play.

Clrnc

Claudius I can't even find a footballer that is similar. Maybe Iniesta with the footwork, but Odegaard has better vision and long passes.

Claudius

Burnwinter thanks for sharing. Best ball manipulation I’ve seen post Bergkamp at the club. And we’ve had Cazorla, Hleb, Fabregas, Ozil, etc in that time. Real Gs.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Some moves he does remind me of the arsed version of Özil. It's uncanny.

I think Wenger makes a really interesting point about Jesus and availability.

It’s so obvious on one hand, but I feel like we’re so numb to it that we forget the impact it can have on a players confidence and rhythm.

Burnwinter

"Astonishly" … nice word you got there YouTuber, it'd be a shame if anyone were to … edit it.

He belongs in that company. Bergkamp given Øde's skill over the ball, and Fabregas of the post 07–08 period given his growing obsession with fighting to win just as much as his creativity. His chance creation is a little different from what Cesc showed in our much more congested posture these days.
