The ONE player Arsenal missed the most
3What if Ashley Cole stayed at Arsenal? #Cole #AFC #Arsenal
How do you pick out the biggest heartbreak in a long list of players that Arsenal supporters have loved right down to the bones?
Robin van Persie, Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry and Alexis Sanchez banged in the goals for fun. Sol Campbell was a rock at the back. Mesut Ozil, Cesc Fabregas and Aaron Ramsey brought an influential and creative streak to the Gunners.
One man, bizarrely from left-back, created amongst the most noise of Arsenal’s biggest 21st century departures and could do it all: Ashley Cole. In return, Arsenal received William Gallas and went nearly a decade without silverware. Meanwhile: Cole won the lot. Today we ask: what if Cole stayed at Arsenal?
