The worst of the bunch, and a signing that it’s almost inconceivable for Arsenal to have made.
Though it may have initially been seen as a masterstroke by Wenger, for the player was also being pursued heavily by Lille and the Arsenal manager was known to have experience in the Asian market because of his time with Nagoya Grampus Eight, this has to be the worst signing of the Frenchman’s 20 years in charge.
Signed from Monaco – French market again, surprise surprise – Arsenal parted with the princely sum of £5.53m for his services.
Services that, as it turned out, were just a single appearance in the three years he was at the club. Upon leaving he joined Al-Shabab which hints at the level he should’ve been playing at.
Not in a million years should he have been allowed anywhere close to a magnificent club such as Arsenal. Baffling.
