Imo how it’s gonna be in the end:
Sanchez-Auba-Saka
Ozil-Rice-Santi
Monreal-Koscielny-Saliba-Sagba
Leno
Nanananana nanananana Giroud
Nacho Cheese Montreal
Tierney
La Cabra - aka Monreal.
Super consistent. Big goals. Great player. Never understood why we sold him for as little as wel did
Monreal.
🐐
Gael Clichy (2010-2011)
Came here to vote for him but realized it’d be the prior decade. I’m old
Same mate. Just kept scrolling until the realization set in lol
Damn, I was wondering how come he is not the first choice…
The recency bias won’t allow Gibbs to get near the top, but he should be basically tied with Monreal. Clichy however has been our best lb since Cole.
La Cabra
Saed Kolasinac (2017-2021)
Love how this is downvoted hahahaha wow
Lol. I still remember that stretch of games with emery where he was our best attacking player. Dark times. Not a good player for us but I always appreciated his physicality and effort
Nacho Monreal
Zinchenko clears
Nacho Monreal for sure
Monreal. Mr Reliable
Monreal
Nacho Monreal (2013-2019)
It’s either him or cashley
I loved him so much. When he first came over the transfer felt underwhelming, but soon enough I couldn’t imagine him not being in the team.
Am I correct in remembering he was our record transfer at the time?
He was not, he wasn’t even the highest of that calendar year. Nacho was only about €10.00m according to transfermarkt.
Ok I’m remembering someone else. Thought he was around £20mil which was a massive amount for Wenger back then.
I disagree, Arshavin was the biggest purchase before Özil. Monreal could not have the price higher than Arshavin
Nope, he was very cheap. Less than 10m pounds. He just wasn’t the typical type of LB from that time. He wasn’t very fast, but man, he was so good. He would hold his own on the left and going fwd he was perfect possession full back.
I distinctly remember this sub trashing him as not good enough. Which always felt harsh but understandable in that first year. He grew into an absolute machine though.
La Cabra EZ
I think Nacho also would have killed it as the inverting type no
He was a good passer! I always thought he was a bit like a midfielder out there in his movement and passes around corner. Never had license to go central like Zinchenko tho.
I hate to say it but Ashley Cole was the better player. Do not want Cole to be in there given what a prick he is. Monreal was solid for us.
The best!
Has to be Nacho. Such an underrated member of the era
“The most consistent left back in the preeemier league”
I’m sorry but I’ll have to remind you that defensively we were always nervy with him against big teams.
