Clichy, Toure, Nasri and their Premier League winning medals would disagree.

Clichy not a guaranteed starter. Toure is on his way out, or at least he should be if he wants to play football still, and played how many games last season? Nasri didn't have the best of seasons and the rumours were City wanted him out to bring in others.

Medals yes, but are they playing as well?

Albuman said that few go on to be successful, not that few go on to play well. Premier League winning medal is more success than they had with Arsenal.

Most of Arsenal's best players who left in the last 10 years, have gone on to much better things

What about Cashley Cole and Cesc Fabregas then? Neither too shabby since leaving Arsenal.

I didn't think of Cole - he had success with Arsenal, too.
Fabregas I thought only joined Barcelona last summer and they didn't win la liga, the champions league or the copa del ray, but just checked and they won the copa del ray and the uefa super cup and world club cup.

Yeah, they both count. Also Thierry Henry.

Oh come on, that's a little bit pendantic isn't it? What's the point of silverware if you hardly play?

I agree. He's been in post for what 15 years or something now? We've mentioned 3.

EDIT: Henry? Played one season with Barca before being a bit part. His career was Arsenal really. Anyway, I don't really care :) Just saying, I don't think a move to Utd will suit him.

Yes I thought you might say that. I rather think he wasn't being that specific but more that players fail to reproduce their form at other clubs. Anyway you were right so well done you.

I don't care about Arsenal or any club other than Brighton, but I hope this transfer saga ends soon, surrounded by Gooners at work who whinge for 7 hours a bloody day about this, drives me mental.
