Steed Malbranque

[fabregas_is_our_king]

malbranque is a quality player who would fit into most premiership clubs. but if we want to move this club forward we need world class players with bags of potential. hleb is a player who has raw potential that wenger obviously thinks he can mould into a world class player. anyway how many french caps does malbranque have at 26???

Wenger never buys world class players.

By your logic Wenger would not have gotten Henry or Vieira etc. It does not matter if we dont buy world class players under Wenger we are always moving forward

so how old was henry when we bought him, or vieira??? it sure wasn't when they were 26. Any 26 year old wenger bought i would hope would be a finished article or there abouts, that wenger doesn't have to build from scratch

Davor Sukor was world class.

Amen. Suker was one of the best in teh world and was 29 odd as well

he was a finished article hen he came to arsenal, scoring goals for fun in spain

Ok i know that but its very rare. Suker never had his best spell with us anyway.

I don't think Wenger has gotten a player who is 27 years old or over except Sukor.

how old was Cygan when Wenger bought him?

 

[asajoseph]

Although Davor Suker did score one of the best ever goals at Highbury...

Anyway, I'm not going to get into this Hleb vs. Malbranque debate, because frankly, I think it's ridiculous.

27/28 if memory serves me right, but i really don't consider cygan an arsenal player, he just seems to add to the french accent of the club.....
