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

    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

    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)

    I know this is sacrilege to say but if we’re purely going by peak Rosicky is probably at the bottom.

    Let’s be clear, this is not a bad list to be at the bottom of… and someone has to be there, by virtue of the question asked! They are all tremendous players, and it’s amazing to think how great Wenger was at unearthing and signing artful midfielders like this!

    Players like this are why so many of us support this club. I miss when football was played in such a way that you could legitimately line-up with a midfield 5 like this! Systems are much more defensive and possession-oriented now, and creative freedom is stifled a bit. As much as I’m proud of the team we have now, I’d love for Arteta to put the ‘Art’ back in the football.

    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.

    Ramsey is by far the least talented of this lot. No arsenal midfielder has been overrated as Aaron Ramsey.

    Most of you are too young to have actually seen hleb and it’s really showing in this thread

      I watched Hleb his entire Arsenal career. I’d put all the others in front of him.

    The amount of people with Ramsey top of this list. Did people actually watch the matches or just the FA cup highlights?

    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

    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.

    Ramsey Nasri Santi Rosicky Hleb

    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.
