Cohen Bramal, was a teenage non league left back who was signed from complete obscurity seemingly on the basis of a viral video clip of him scoring with a chipped rabona goal from the wing.

Technically i dont think he ever played, might have made the bench.

In terms of accommodating the best players its a great line up with only marginal/arguable swaps.

In reality on the pitch i think you would probably have to concede at least one of the front five for another deep player to strike the best balance.

Back in the 90s Seth Johnson and Mark Draper went for big money, it would be equivalent to paying &75mil for someone like Sambi Lakonga today.

Solanke for £20mil before getting a game or goal for Liverpool seemed, and was crazy.

£30m plus for Iwobi to Everton seemed steep but he got better.

Man utd are the kings though £85m for Antony, £80m for Sancho £75m for Hooijland? Barely any goals btween them.

After Arsenal built the stadium there was little budget for transfers so as the senior players aged out of the squad inferior players came through in every position. People were used to competing for titles had to adjust to scraping into fourth spot.

This also coincided with the advent of fan channels on youtube. The ranting and raving when we lost got twice as many hits and bred a certain type of ‘fan’ who would get overnight fame for screaming ‘Wenger out’ every week.

Eventually Arsenal went on run of terrible away form. This is what hit the core ultra fans who pay to travel each week.

Personally as a casual admirer of Arsenal i think Wenger was very hard done by. His league placing s and cup record with the squad he had by the end is arguable as big an achievement as his double or unbeaten season. It would be akin to a squad on the level of Brightons getting into the Champions league.

Vieira against Newcastle cant be far off.
