I second the Martial comment. He would have been perfect for us. Wenger saw him first hand and chose not to act.
Yaya Toure must be the single biggest miss for Arsenal over the past 8 or 9 years in terms of what a difference he could have made - particularly as we wanted him before he went to Barcelona for about £5m.
Wenger would probably have had 2 or 3 more league titles to his name had we got him back in 2006.
Hasn't Wenger nearly signed every top player in history?
Signed by Barça:
Maradona, Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Neymar and Suárez.
Allowing them to sign Eto'o probably pi$$ed me off the most though.
To Atlético:
Kiko, Vieri
We had a £49m bid rejected for Godin and Aguero in the January transfer window that we signed Torres and Luiz for combined £70m+ in 2011. This is more hindsight but how I wished we'd pushed for Godin and Aguero with 70m+ bids instead!
Recent one is Renato Sanches? Expensive yes but, with our links to the likes of Naingollan, I feel Sanches would've been perfect for us. Energetic, stamina, call carrier, and good technical ability. Would compliment Fabregas in a 3 man midfield. But, with 10 years over Naingollan he'd be someone we can really build our midfield around long term. In Sanches' case I feel it'd be better for his career to go to a team like us where he'd start and be pretty vital then to Bayern (see Thiago, though injuries haven't helped).
Laudrup must be the biggest cock-up LFC ever made. As a teenager I remember watching him and thinking how stupid LFC were for letting him go.
