Arsenal Sign Alexandre Song

Francis Jeffers, Pascal Cygan, Pennant?

Igor Stepanovs? Kaba Diarreah... Even though I think we got lucky in receiving so much money for him, I still rate Anelka as a massive flop, not only at arsenal, but in almost every club he's played for since!

Arsene Wenger hasn't got any signings wrong so far and can't see him starting now.

He's obviously signed him because he's spotted some potential in him so given a bit of time i'm sure he'll develop into a decent player.

Sometimes he's got a quality player, but then hasn't been able to fully utilize him to his ability. I really rate Van Bronckhurst but he never got a really long run in the team, same as Edu and Matthew Upson tbh.

Flopped with Everton? He scored 20 goals in 60 appearances, a lot of them from the bench, at a time when Everton weren't playing well at all. I wouldn't call that a flop (especially as his form caused Wenger to spend £10m on him).

I think the trouble with him was the fact that he probably was a fox in the box - which is why wenger signed him. But I don't think we really play with a Jeffer/RVN type of player that well. A lot of our goals are tap-ins, but they're scored by midfielders who contribute much more so to other parts of our play; something that jeffers I felt never really did.

Also he did have a tendancy to bottle it a lot...
