@Astrealix latest ArsenalVision pod posed an interesting question.
Which player who we wanted to stay, but left, would still be universally welcome back at the club (not necessarily as a player)?
For me, Santi would be an automatic choice.
I think Santi absolutely, also Xhaka will be soon. Doubt anyone wants him to leave after that redemption arc if as a coach or something. Hell I don't want him to leave even without it lol.
Also, Bergkamp?
@Astrealix Bergkamp retired rather than left for another club.
But yeah, the question was posed in relation to Xhaka's departure.
Fair point, I was mostly just thinking about universally loved players tbh. Henry maybe? I don't want him as a coach though cuz he doesn't actually seem that great at it lol
@Astrealix I got the impression some people weren't happy with his last season at the club, though the reception during his brief return suggests otherwise.
But yeah, definitely not as a coach 🤐
Overmars (pre all the dodgy shit at Ajax), Vieira, Toure, Koscielny, Henry, Santi, Flamini (1st time), Sagna.
Probably loads more for me.
@thatdosbox @Astrealix Gnabry?
@raumdeuter @Astrealix maybe? His "North London is red" after Bayern beat the spuds gives him extra credit, but there was something odd about how he ended up there via Werder Bremen 🤔
@thatdosbox @Astrealix true - I put some of that down to our batshit operation in those years.
@thatdosbox @Astrealix Was Santi wanted back though? I felt we basically told him to find another role as we weren’t sure if he was capable of playing in the PL anymore.
