Players you had forgotten existed

Arsenal teams from 06-09 will be full of them.

Aliadière
Denilson
Flamini (though he had a good career if memory serves)
Djourou
Justin Hoyte
Armand Traore

Yeah Flamini ended up at AC Milan and did pretty well there and was linked with us at one point if I remember right.
 
Cheick Tioté RIP...Good tough midfielder at a point.
 
John Heitinga randomly came into my head the other day. Was a PES Master League legend back in the day.
 
Kiki Musampa came to mind recently. As did Emile Mpenza.
 
Didn't he say once that he actually hated football and he wanted to be a porn star?
I remember the 1st half that he doesn't really like football despite playing it, but thanks for that "wanted to be a porn star" part :lol: just googled it and it seems he was just joking about it.
 
Tyler Blackett & the one with the magic left foot CBJ (Cameron Borthwick-Jackson)
 
I was flicking through the channels the other night and happened upon a random game between two Belgian clubs and the striker for one of them was Vincent Janssen.

I think / hope that the United after Fergie batch will be similar. We've had endless discussions about McT, Fred, Elanga, Pereira, Schneiderlin etc etc. I hope we're successful enough in the future that we forget all the averageness we had to endure.
 
when you realize Saivet was still a Newcastle player in 2020-21 season... Christ.
 
Piazon spent his whole career on loans across Europe... then the the first club he signed for after Chelsea, Braga, sent him on loan again. still only 28.

Wenger post 07 did miracles getting Arsenal to 4 every season with some of the teams he had. Then Arsenal fans blamed him and when he left they fell to a top 6 side and are only recovering this season.
Eduardo was one I forgot existed. Good player even after the leg break but if that doesn’t happen he would of been a top player
