Selling Anelka was one of the best things that could have happened. It brought us the best striker that ever graced Highbury, it gave us extra money where we used to establish a state of the art academy and training facility.
Transfer flops for Arsenal, but good thing was that none of them costed us huge money:
1. Reyes - never the same again after the 'black shit' saga and later the radio hoax. Career went down the drain after leaving Arsenal.
2. Baptista - Whoaaaa....luckily it was only a loan deal. Still a flop considering the hype.
3. Jeffers - Eh? Spent more time in the hospital than on the pitch. Another player whose career went down the drain.
4. Inamoto - another loan deal so not much lost here, but only managed 1 first team appearance in CL.
5. Amaury Bischoff - basically here for rehabilitation, once he got fit he chose to leave. Half decent player to be honest, too bad he had zero patience.
yes,his transfer brought us a hefty amount of money.but what if he stays?i thought back then arsene used to imagine anelka combine with henry?how's that for a combo?look at anelka now.he maybe off form in some games but he still has some neat touches that brought chelsea where they are now.and he play week in and week out for chelsea.rarely got injured.don't you think he can be great with us?
boumsong.lol.i tell u,i can defend better than him!:P i wonder what juve sees in him.
