Mind-blowing XI Arsenal Could Have If Arsene Wenger Signed All The Players He Tried To: Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo Lineup Ahead Of Yaya Toure

Drogba for £100,000… Wenger wasn’t convinced!

Arsenal have spent big money on two players in recent years – £42.5m on Mesut Ozil and £30m on Alexis Sanchez.

Ozil and Alexis are both very talented, but neither would get a game if Arsene Wenger had been successful in signing this lot…

GK: Petr Cech

Cech signed for Chelsea from Rennes in 2004 and he has gone on to become one of the best goalkeepers in Premier League history. However, Arsenal tried to sign him way back – before he even joined Rennes. Unfortunately, the Gunners could not get a work permit.

CB: Gerard Pique

Wenger tried to pinch Pique, Cesc Fabregas and Lionel Messi from Barcelona’s youth team. He was only able to sign Fabregas.

CB: Vincent Kompany

Kompany is now captain of Manchester City, but it could have turned out very differently for the big Belgian. Wenger held talks him in 2006, before he eventually moved to Hamburg from Anderlecht.
