Arsenal crap XI

Post by Boomer »

just to show how poor the Arsenal squad is here's my Arsenal crap XI.
Almunia

Gibbs
Squillaci
Djourou
Hoyte*

Denilson
Diaby
Rosicky

Vela
Chamakh
Bendtner

Mannone
Fabianski
Arshavin
Park
Botelho
Lansbury*
Watt*


* - I was filling spaces but that's be honest they are not that young anymore so if they were good enough they'd be playing by now. There only still on the books because they are young, English and products of Arsenal = £££

I would have thought we have enough crap currently at the club, to not have to include ex-players or loanees.

A list of any club's crappiest players would look not too disimilar to ours. What is more instructive about the state of our club (and depressing) is to show our BEST eleven and then realise just how woefully inadeqate it is.

You could add Theo as well.
As I said to someone else (on Facebook) but over Vela/Arshavin & Denilson they [song and theo] have there uses...for now.

What is Gibbs doing in that team? Being injury prone doesn't mean you're shit.

Also Arshavin isn't crap, he's unmotivated. A player like Arshavin needs a special manager to get the best out of him, not the turnip we've got.

Walnut should be in that team as he's dogshit, and if you are going to include Djourou then surely Miquel should make the bench at least?

Amen, but Wenger actually got rid of him! :shock:

So in comes Hoyte shamefully into the team.

Not to mention the sky high wages and long term contracts Lord Turnip has "rewarded" that muck with.

Diaby 65 grand a week :oops:

Maybe ‘Transfer list Xi’ should have been a better title.

Yes - Gibbs is okay. Defensively poor but I like him. However, many including Wenger are too sentimental over certain players and Gibbs is one. Shit no, poor maybe but injury prone? Yes. Well thank you & goodbye Kieran.

Is unmotivated the same as lazy? It was a close call I agree but Theo has his uses.....as in impact player but only on the first team bench.

Miquel has played what? 5 games in total for the Arse? But how many of those recent ones were at full back. Shows you how poor our lack of depth when we're relying on a young inexperienced centre half to play out of position.
You maybe right but I've seen some qualities in Miquel when he's played centre half including playing along side Squillaci! Too early to tell I'm afraid.

I'd make Diaby captain of this sorry lot and also include Walcott.

I suppose he'd have to go on the bench somewhere as even he's not as shit as most of that starting 11.
