Wenger's model only works if you have very strong/dominant leaders in a team imo.

And it depends heavily on the player having a killer mentality.
Yup! He needed strong personalities to make it work, and he had a team of guys who didn’t want to lead.

Ironically, van Persie was the one guy who had it but he spent four seasons injured. Way better captain and leader than Fabregas and Gallas.
It was literally the same story everytime.

I'm still mad at him for Denilson.

These players come in, start off good, and then around season and a half off their Arsenal career. Something just happens, and they either regress or just stall.

Clichy could've been one off the best LB's period, his development stalled


Literally ruined Eboue, probably one off the best natural talents he had

Gibbs another one

Bellerin

Ramsey

Too many players

Still don't understand why he sold Song after that season he had
IIRC, Song had his head turned and was being a dikk to everyone at training camp.

The others, if Wenger buys them at 21-22, instead of 16-17 they become something special.
