Cazorla Ramsey Rosicky Nasri Hleb
Not looking for their overall career impact at Arsenal but their ability at their best season or two for the club
Thanks
Rosicky is last definitely
Surprised so many are picking Rosicky over Hleb. Rosicky was definitely the greater Arsenal player overall, but Hleb’s peak in 07/08 was better than Rosickys peak (and Nasri’s too)
Ramsey : Maybe the most underrated player by our fanbase Rosicky : One of my all time favourite arsenal players Cazorla : Fantastic player who I loved watch but god lord has he become overrated in hindsight Nasri : Great player but treacherous scum Hleb: I’m sure too young to give a proper assessment
I hate to say it but I think you’re right about Santi. Brilliant player but people forget he was quite ineffective at times as well. That one performance at City kind of drove us all mad with Santimania. Helps that he was such a likeable guy as well.
I know this is sacrilege to say but if we’re purely going by peak Rosicky is probably at the bottom.
if peak ramsey played under guardiola, ppl would be referring to him as one of the all time GOATs right now. he’s easily first on this list.
I think Helb was so reluctant to shoot that Football Manager added a preferred move. Looks for a pass rather than trying to score.
The Hleb disrespect 😭. Completely unplayable at his peak for us. It didn’t translate to trophies though. Ability alone he shouldn’t be last here. But I understand…his stats are harder to justify his place compared to the rest
Ramsey is by far the least talented of this lot. No arsenal midfielder has been overrated as Aaron Ramsey.

I didnt watch hleb so its hard to judge him.

Nasri in 2010 was something else, even though his peak was really short. I rate Santi, Rosicky and Hlebs Arsenal careers as better in general due to longevity but Nasri at his peak was incredible.
Rosicky is harder to judge. Felt he had about 7 good games, and 2 incredible games every season, but was injured half the time. Hard to say he ever peaked.
Most of you are too young to have actually seen hleb and it’s really showing in this thread
(in a past life), years of holding my keyboard like a sepukku knife has taught me not to rank players who i’ve haven’t inherently seen play in the first place.
I watched Hleb his entire Arsenal career. I’d put all the others in front of him.
What a horribly tough question, there’s no right answer apart from Santi as number one. He was magic.Personally, I loved watching Hleb’s first touch into space but understand his end product was not the same as the others. The others are all so fantastic on their day too, I would say Santi plus the rest as tied second, all for different reasons though.
All ballers but gut feeling if we’re talking about peak ability to change a game…

Interesting that Nasir seems to be the biggest moving piece in people’s responses
As much as I can’t stand the guy, Nasri was incredible at his peak. For a short period in 2010, with RVP injured and the sale of Fabregas, he was our best player. Looks at not just the goal but the whole game against Porto in the CL

Nasri
Rosicky (feel we never really got a peak out of him because of the injuries, would be a lot higher if we did)
