I want to qualify this by saying I absolutely love Xhaka, and was always a truther… But he at CDM specifically, lone pivot Xhaka, dark times
Yeah, Xhaka and Guendouzi both obviously talented footballers but in the name of comedic banter they have to be in the reckoning
I’m sorry but Xhaka is captaining this team
Denilson
Ceballos - remember the Europa League 2021 run
That guy was on a solo kamikaze mission in those knockout ties; I remember red cards, penalties given away and assisting the opposition
I actually completely forgot about Ceballos. Wow.
I remember people calling him Beyblade, he should be in there
Buddy that goal in dying stages against sheffield united sent us to the fa cup semis.
He may be a beyblade meme but gotta give him the respek.
That and his debut against Burnley were 2/4 good things he did for us in 2 years 💀
Okay yeah he was great in the lockdown era but his second season was just terrible all around.
But he did pass through Laca’s legs that one time.
Thought we had signed the xavi regen when I first saw him play lol
I think Lichtsteiner was hard done by here, not great but not as bad for as long as the rest
He was old/washed up, which was really the problem. Legs were gone. He was a quality player for Juve, but just had nothing in the tank. Feels like elder abuse to list him here. All the same, he was a flop.
Not to mention I don’t think I’d even consider him in the banter era
If he wore a Puma kit then he was part of the banter era
Denis Suarez - Kim Kallstrom - Denilson (at DM). Has to be the bestworst trio
Thomas Eisfeld. Peak austerity years signing.
Loved it when arsenal fans tried to claim he was more talented than Götze
Trust me bro wenger knows
Was he? He was just brought it to play with the reserves and see how he got on. No one expected anything more of him.
When did the banter era officially end? Cause seeing Sambi lokonga on the list makes zero sense to me
Mustafi
Not on the ST yet, but- Quincy Owusu-Abeyie
No chance over Bendtner or Chamakh let’s be honest.
Suarez? Denilson? Frimpong?
Denilson
Flamini!
Does Alex Song qualify, considering he left us for Barca (who we have history with) and he didn’t care that he was going to sit on the bench as long as he’s paid heaps?
Fran Merida, Frimpong, Denis Suarez
