Number 13?? That's cool. Though, I came to check who takes the #1 spot between Thierry Henry and Patrick Viera only for me to meet a surprised candidate in Dennis Bergkamp. NIC Anelka would have prolly be #3 or #5 if he was patient enough, he was magnificent in his short stay. Same goes for Cesc Fabolous & Samir Nasri. My opinion, Ash should have been around top 10. French players saving Arsené Wenger since 1402. 8 Likes 1 Share |

CuteInBlack: This guy you spoke trash and gold in the same sentence, how can you put Fabregas or Saturday Nasri, did you start watching football from '06, all these players here have helped the club to multiple trophies, not someone who went away cuz he has' Barca DNA' and now they've pursued him away. Please abeg, check the meaning of 'great'. 33 Likes 1 Share |

bettingbad:Bro, do you need ice to help u calm down?? All I said was both players had potential to have succeeded but weren't patient enough,I never said they were "Arsenal Greats" or are you going to argue they were thrash?? They needed a manager like Wenger to help in their development. Personally, I think they would have been better off than present day had they stayed knowing fully well they are now in their prime( especially Fab) . Nas left because of the money, Fab left because his parent club(FCB) came calling. The fans knew the koko reason why they left: not much quality player to challenge for trophies. The management of the club didn't do much to keep them and Wenger also didn't break the bank to sign quality players....he never does tho. And bout me starting to watch football from '06 I can't help but smile. Na that kain argument dey cause fight for my previous area. Age nor dey for football knowledge, my nephew sabi football pass me. Dats btw sha. I believe I have done well to clarify my earlier comment hence we're good now. #ktbffh 34 Likes 2 Shares |

CuteInBlack: What do u mean Wenger doesn't break the bank to sign quality players, didn't he just break the bank for Mesut Ozil, he couldn't spend back then because of his own principle of not spending more than what you get b/c at that time we were still paying for the new stadium, moreover was it Abramovich powered Chelsea he'll compete with?! 2 Likes |
