There have been a plethora of footballers who have simply failed to impress at Arsenal. Whether they have simply done nothing in training to warrant game-time for the first-team or they consistently fluff the chances they do get in the starting XI, it's fair to say that Arsene Wenger has had his fair share of duds over the years. However, some of these players can be released. Released from the shackles of club level and reborn as a new player on the international stage.
