Oh man… If källström isnt in the 11 im leaving this sub
Not regular enough but did provide the comedic element. Loaned in with an injury etc
I’m way too late for this, and probably doesn’t matter, but I’m thinking people here aren’t really understanding the true nature of this. Ozil made it to the top XI, but for sure he deserves a spot here. Like someone else mentioned, this isn’t just about the worst players of the era, this is about who generated the most banter both on and off the pitch. Are we really going to forget all of the banter surrounding Ozil with the “he’s being played out of position” takes, the “everyone else sucks he’s the only good player” takes, and all the Turkey shit we saw from post-contract Ozil? Fuck, we probably still see an Erdogan best man meme occasionally.
Emmanuel Frimpong, Denis Suarez, Broken Jack Wilshere. Dishonorable mentions for Abou Diaby and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. (Also Carl Jenkinson or Calum Chambers should’ve been RB)
Get Diaby’s name out of your filthy mouth. The boy would’ve been one of the best midfielders in the league if he wasn’t made of glass.
If you believe that then you should also have the same opinion on Wilshere. I have them both listed, because the horrendous amount of injury prone players in our squad was a huge part of the banter era.
Gervinho
Not a midfielder
It’s not even the forwards vote yet but, YAYA SANOGOOO
FM11 legend.
Ill be voting for him when the time comes
Sanogo’s cameo in the FA Cup final was a thing of beauty, just absolute chaos. It must have been like The Velvet Underground for Gabriel Jesus.
The idea of picking between Sanogo, Chamakh and Bendtnee is giving me cold sweats…
How about Park Chu-Young?
Sanogo and Bendtner get my vote because they embody Arsenal banter. Bendtner might actually be the most eccentric player I’ve watched play for us (aside from Eboue). Sanogo on the other hand, was the best player in the world.
Snood Chamakh was a menace.
I could never take him seriously with that barnet…
You are forgetting Gervinho
He’s a winger though, not a striker.
how didnt tavares make the lb :(
CDM: Yann M’vila
CM: Yohan Cabaye
CM: Jack Wiltshire
gotta be Draxler, hes been linked so many times with us I can still can almost imagine a beaming Wenger grinning ear to ear as the mercurial German signs for us!
Gabriel paulista
Yaya sonogo
Willian
is a winger
Xhaka first 3 years could easily be in there
Should be captain imo
Not on the ST yet, but- Quincy Owusu-Abeyie
No chance over Bendtner or Chamakh let’s be honest.
Ceballos - remember the Europa League 2021 run
That guy was on a solo kamikaze mission in those knockout ties; I remember red cards, penalties given away and assisting the opposition
Okay yeah he was great in the lockdown era but his second season was just terrible all around.
But he did pass through Laca’s legs that one time.
I remember people calling him Beyblade, he should be in there
Buddy that goal in dying stages against sheffield united sent us to the fa cup semis.
He may be a beyblade meme but gotta give him the respek.
That and his debut against Burnley were 2/4 good things he did for us in 2 years 💀
Thought we had signed the xavi regen when I first saw him play lol
I actually completely forgot about Ceballos. Wow.
I think Lichtsteiner was hard done by here, not great but not as bad for as long as the rest
Not to mention I don’t think I’d even consider him in the banter era
If he wore a Puma kit then he was part of the banter era
He was old/washed up, which was really the problem. Legs were gone. He was a quality player for Juve, but just had nothing in the tank. Feels like elder abuse to list him here. All the same, he was a flop.
