10 Arsenal Players Who Weren't Worth The Hassle
Sometimes you just gotta say enough is enough.
To the naked eye, footballers are the competitive and passionate elements of a football club embodied in human form. Willing to lay their body on the line for the cause that means so much to thousands of supporters, they are the ones that can make dreams become a reality. At the other end of the spectrum, footballers are often perceived as monsters behind closed doors formed by the snarling beast that is the over-exposing media, and the fame and riches that accompany it. Salary demands, contractual disputes, and dressing-room bust-ups there have been examples throughout the footballing world of these athletes getting a bit too big for their boots.
Arsenal is no different. While it has borne some truly magnificent professionals, such as the likes of Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry, there have been those who have caused Arsene Wenger nothing but a continuous string of head-aches. There have been an array of players who have served only to add more grey hairs to his scalp, whether through their questionable attitude, or simply their inability to repay a hefty price tag.
With protracted transfer sagas and expensive acquisitions comes increased pressure for these players to pay dividends, and when they dont, worry lines will surely start to break out onto the managers increasingly exasperated forehead.
Take a look at ten players we feel Arsenal could have done without, whether due to their baggage, injury problems or otherwise.
