Arsenal players that will miss Arsene the most if he leaves. by Konstantin Mitov
I have to begin with the fact that I write this article fully believing Arsene will not leave, but if miraculously the guy goes, there will be a few players that will miss him. After all every single players left is here because of him, so shall we start?
Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey. You can’t start anywhere else! Players who are always on the verge of fulfilling their potential but never quite getting it there. You’d wonder if they’d be regulars under a new manager and they are hardly moving to a better team.
The French Contingent will miss the manager if he leaves. Koscielny made a huge career jump from League 2 to being Arsenal’s captain and he said he owes Arsene everything. Despite having only 2 FA cups to his name though, Koscielny is a modern Arsenal legend for me and my favourite player in the squad!
Olivier Giroud was also convinced by Arsene to come here and despite not being the WC CF we all hoped for, he is one of the few players that are always trying. Last but not least Coquelin exposed our desperate need for a DM and became from outcast to somewhat an Arsene go-to-man.
Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal are both part of the ‘not good enough’ part of our squad and they will surely miss Arsene, because their future will be in doubt under a better manager. This is the reason why most players except Koscielny and probably Giroud are on this list!
Last but certainly not least – Mesut Ozil! He is the perfect example of exactly what Arsenal have become. Full of quality, on his day probably one of the best there is, he never turns up for the big games, neither does he take too much of the critique going his way. He is also immortal at the squad no matter of bad form (any resemblance to another man immortal at the club?).
So to sum it up, for me players who won’t get a better club or paycheck, and the ones who don’t accept criticism are those who would miss Arsene the most! See you in the comments if you agree or feel different about it.
