Silvestre (like Cygan, not as bad as people make out, infact Cygan was well underrated)
Squillaci (career on the slide when he came here and played particularly badly for us even so, but given who he played for you have to bear that in mind)
Stepanovs (actually my favourite of the players on this list and the only one who wasnât brought in with a good CV, so that should be taken into account. He was just a really substandard player who got quickly found out, even 15+ odd year ago when the Prem quality was lower
He probably wasnât quite as bad as some of the others but he has found his level in the MLS
When he retires from football do you think he has the good looks for a career in male modelling?
Thatâs what happens when Wenger leaves a position we need filling for so long that every selling club know he is desperate an push the price up and we had to wait until the end of the transfer window to get him.
I think it has very little to do with our desperation and everything to do with everyone knowing Prem clubs had just got a ridiculous windfall from the new TV deal
