I get your opinion, but for me they have all been bang average signings who have failed to deliver with the blue shirt on. Adebayor, anelka and nasri spent too much time sulking, Clichy couldn't defend, sagna's best games were when he played centre half. Probably kolo was the only one who personally looked worthy of the money we paid for him.
That is just rubbish.
Without Anelka (not a direct signing from Arsenal btw) there is a good chance we could have been relegated in 2003/04, 16 goals for a team that finishes 16th is a great return. A couple of big assists in there as well if I remember correctly.
Clichy played his part in 2 Premier League trophies and 2 League Cup trophies, well worth the £6m-£7m we paid for him and bar the last season or 2 he was a solid player for us.
Nasri was superb in both title winning seasons and again played a big part in the league cup victories, easily worth the £24m we paid. Alright he sulked a little bit but what player doesn't. He was superb in the 11-12 run in and the 13-14 run in and scored a screamer in the 2014 League Cup final amongst other great goals.
Sagna was our best defender in the 15-16 season which seen us make the Champions League semis, free transfer, absolutely worth it.
Kolo was a good player for us but in an era when we were rising quick, played a big part in helping us finish in the top 4 but was starting to dwindle into a squad player by the time we were winning trophies.
Adebayor is the only signing you can argue wasn't worth it but that Gif of the Arsenal fans going mental does make it worthwhile.
Anyway to keep this post on topic, Sanchez is class and walks into our starting XI, anyone who doesn't want him is clearly mental.
