by Gezzer on November 22, 2007
Hey numnut who wrote the article Richard Wright was signed from Ipswich not Everton - Everton did us a favour and coffed up 4.5 m to take him!!!
by artful on November 22, 2007
for all wengers signings, i just do not know what possessed him to splurge so much cash on an evertonian, lol.
by LondonGooner on November 22, 2007
There are a few bad 'uns to chose from, Thomas Danilviciusususus, diawara, stepanovs etc. His 3 best are simple in my mind, Toure, Henry and Pres/Viera, all 3 have been or still are instrumental in our long term success, Fabregas maybe so in the future, but right now he's won an FA cup, thats it, so i don think he can compare to Pires double figures assists AND Goals every year he was at Arsenal if you avergae out his time spent as a gooner. Viera was awesome for us and highly influential, Damn the author for not giving us 4 of each! lol

Worst 1 Jeffers 2 Richard Wright 3 Cygan (only because he played more than Stepanovs and therefore played worse more times) Best 1 Vieira - from unknown to best in the world in his position 2 Toure 3 Fabregas (edges out Anelka) (Henry was already a world cup winner with great potential)
by Stanley on November 22, 2007
Wenger's made so many good signings it's really hard to point to a best 3, but surely Vieira's gotta be one of them. Sure Toure and Fab are great but they have yet to achieve wat Paddy has. Can't really disagree with your worse three though, Reyes and Wiltord weren't that convincing either!

BEST 1.Henry 2.Vieira 3.Anelka Worst -1.Stepanovs -2.Cygan -3.Garde I think you have to acknowledge the 21.5 million pound profit of Anelka, which paid for London Colney, though not necessarily our most loved signing. As for all time signing, Bergkamp. The man who started it all (albeit under Rioch)
by K on November 22, 2007
1.Vieira - Nuff said 2.Kanu - Realms of the unknown 3.Kolo - Its the kungfu in him. 1,2 & 3 .Jeffers (sorry mate)
by R on November 22, 2007
1. Cesc 2. Vieira 3. Pires Worst: 1. Jeffers 2. Mendez 3. Stepanovs
by Ralph on November 22, 2007
Stepanovs is too easy to choose, and too damned lazy. Obviously you didn't watch much of him or you'd have seent that amongst his appearances were a 10 game stretch leading up to the debacle at OT where he and Adams were outstanding. The reality was that whilst not good enough to be a regular he was good enough as 4th choice CH, which is what he was.
by mark on November 22, 2007
Bob is correct on best. worst hast to be wright,jeffers,diawara remember cesc cost 2m in compensation. just like merida.
by jacko on November 22, 2007
has everyone forgotten Glenn Helder
by mitch on November 22, 2007
wasnt helder a graham signing? what about Fabien Cabellero or however u spell it? remember him most for knockin some Preston North End cb out to allow Petit to score and thats about it!
Cabellero was on trial!!! Never bought by Wenger.
by gooner d on November 22, 2007
Although a moody so and so who wanted out too quickly, without the cheap purchase and then hugely profitable sale of Anelka, Henry would not have come to AFC.
by naz on November 22, 2007
whos forgotten about christopher wreh
by gunner on November 22, 2007
anelka has to be up there. we topped up the war chest with the 22.3 million pounds Real Madrid coffed up for him. Not bad considering we only payed 500k for he's services which got us a premiership and a FA cup. The man arsene himself says that anelka was he's best ever find
by ant on November 22, 2007
i was gonna say henry, toure and viera.. but maybe cesc shud be there
by gooner on November 22, 2007
nah pascal cygan was the worst signin
by Busy on November 22, 2007
Let's not forget Giovanni van Bronckhurst - he was dreadful for us, and he cost a few quid.
by Pat on November 22, 2007
Best= 1.Henry of course, best player ever, second best vieira,midfield ever,3 of course fabregas
by AKINYEMI on November 22, 2007
WORST SIGNING WAS NO ONE OTHER THAN PASCAL CYGAN
by CruEL on November 23, 2007
Worse 1. Igor Stephanov. 'Nuff said. 2. Cygan. Did he know he played for Arsenal? Forever passing to the opposition. 3. Vivas. I could forgive him for trying to be like Lee Dixon. Best 1. TH14. 'Nuff said. 2. Viera. 3. Overmars.
by fdsa on November 23, 2007
Which ones should Wenger have signed (ones he's publicly admitted he could have signed)? 1. Kaka 2. Eto'o 3. Ronaldinho
by Onze on November 23, 2007
Cygan was the worst none will come after him
by artful on November 23, 2007
cygan was with out doubt the worst signing in regards of ability, but due to the fact we bought him for £2.1m and sold him for £2m that puts him at 2/3 spot. with jeffers at clear 1st, lol.
