5 Worst Signings Of Arsene Wenger

Wenger era saw many great signings like Cech Fabregas, Van Persie and Thiery Henry.These signings left a mark in every football fan. however their were signings which could not fill the boots. Here are 5 worst signings of Wenger era:

Francis Jeffers (£8m)

The Englishmen cost Arsenal £8m there most expesive sign of that time. Thiery Henry made a request to club for signing him. He was considered as the "Fox in the box" but only managed to score 4 goals in 22 BPL appearences.
The former Everton star was sent off after 12 minutes coming on a pitch in a community shield match against Manchester United.
In 2003/2004 season Jeffers returned to Everton on a short loan deal. he failed to deliver under David Moyes as well. Later on he was sold to Charlton for £2.6m.

Sebastian Squillaci (£4m)

The 6 foot French international defender was signed from Sevilla for £4m. That time everyone thought that he can be a promising star and he is the player Arsenal need. But who would have thought he would be a failure.
During 2010/11 Squillaci played 32 games for gunners and scored just two goals. Well he was not signed for scoring goals but some poor defensive decisions made him the least favorite of Wenger.
In his last season at Emirates the defender made just 1 appearance but was still earning £50,000 per week for nothing. In 2013 he left the club when his contract expired.

Mikael Silvestre (free transfer)

He was signed from Manchester United. He was the first player in 34 years who joined North Londoners from Red Devils.

Silvestre scored an own goal in his Champions League debut against Fenerbahce. however Arsenal won that game 5-2 but he was hugely criticized for his performance against Tottenham and Barcelona. 

After making just 26 appearances for Wenger he was released later on in 2010/2011 season. he signed with Werder Bremen. 

Chu Young Park (£3.5m)

The south Korean Captain seemed to be one of the weirdest signings so far. He was signed as a striker but rarely got an opportunity to shine.

by the end of his first season, he made only one appearance and was later on sent on a loan to Celta Vigo to La Liga.

Lukas Podolski took over his shirt of No9, In 2013/14 season the only contribution he made was; coming as substitution for Aaron Ramsey.

Andre Santos (£6.2m)

Initially he made good impact over Arsenal fans. He joined Arsenal in 2011 season.  He scored the goal in the last game of that season against West Bromwich, helping us secure a place in Champions league.

He scored 4 goals in that season. despite scoring 4 goals his poor defense show was representative of his overall performance. He swap shirts with Gunner's ex captain Robin Van Persie, an act which made gunners furious.

He left Arsenal to join Flamengo(Brazilian Side) in july, making only 33 appearances.
