I don't count Fab at all,as he'd been away from Arsenal for a long time by the time he came to us. I never think of Fab as ex-Arsenal; I think of him as ex-Swansea where he was amazing....I couldn't believe our luck when we signed him for buttons. What a deal!
Hartson was quite good, but nothing special IMO, and decking Berkovich in training meant he had to go... He's hardly going to go down as a great in the WHU annuls of history.
I realise I forgot Brady - Even if he didn't come directly from Arsenal, it is where he was known for the bulk of his career at Asenal. Sure he was class, but for such a short period, he barely registers. Ditto Ian Wright...
So, I stick by it (so far anyway); the only player from Arsenal who was really good, IMO, was Nigel Winterburn. But not that good that he'd be spoken of as one of our great defenders....
In fact, I think he should be mentioned a bit more, if anything! But not go overboard!
I remember Winterburn more for shitting his pants after Di Canio decked the referee
Detested Stewart Robson. Zilch ability but, in fairness, very brave and willing. He always felt he was better than us and doing us a favour, borne out by many comments in the press since he retired.
Personally, I can't really think of any good players that came from Arsenal apart from Nigel Winterburn.... I thought he was really good.
I feel all the others were aged, injury-prone flops.... Was Ian Wright any good (as I genuinely can't remember?!) Didn't last very long did he...and no one ever mentions him anyway.
Davor Bloody Suker? Freddie Lungerg?....Radford? What a bloody joke....dearie me...when will we ever learn that if Arsenal unload, it is because those players are spent forces and they are rinsing us ffs....just like bloody Wilshire now....you couldn't write the folly; fair play to the Davids who didn't want to buy him, but wanted to back Pelle to the hilt so did bring him in on ridiculous wages despite their better judgement....
Much as people might hate Spurs, crikey we've had some fantastic players from them: Etherington, and my favourite, Sherringham...Zamora too...And even if we lost Peters (because he wanted to go), Jimmy Greaves wasn't bad...
Mind you, thank God Robbie Bloody Keane was only a loan...I reckon he deliberately missed a sitter on the line v Burnley. Don't know if those lost points were enough to relegate us in the final reckoning, but wouldn't surprise me....Talk about an enemy in the camp! Bet Levy was laughing all the way....Still gnaws at me...
Anyway, come on folks: Can you think of any brilliant Ex-Arsenal WHU players?.... All I've got is Winterburn...
John Hartson
Wright scored a great long range goal against spurs in a big win
