5 players who did not deserve to play for Arsenal 

#3 Park Chu-Young

Park Chu-Young never inspired confidence in front of goal with his finishing

Arsenal were often adventurous and had a reputation for taking risks by investing in one-season wonders around Europe. It was a gamble Wenger believed was worth taking, but a look back at Arsenal's history tells us that there are more signs of regret than success.

Park Chu-Young arrived at Arsenal from Monaco as a one-season wonder and royally flopped in his spell with the Gunners. The South Korean was a deadline day signing, in a pool that consisted of Per Mertesacker, Mikel Arteta, Andre Santos and Yossi Benayoun. Clearly, Wenger was batting in a free-hit situation of sorts and some of these were clear mishits, including Park.

The then Monaco player was preparing for a medical that would have taken him to Lille, a club he had agreed to move to. Arsenal got involved in the middle and Park left the second half of his medical and negotiated with the Gunners.

For a striker who Wenger believed would add quality to his attacking line, he made only seven appearances in his three years at Arsenal before leaving in 2014. Park never felt comfortable in England, he was a misfit in Arsenal's fluid style of play and always lacked confidence.

#2 Andre Santos

Andre Santos was defensively the weakest fullback in Premier League at his time

The modern fullback in football these days is praised for his attacking runs and contributions in the final third. The relentless tendency to hurl crosses in the middle, to be that extra threat for the backline to deal with, is an evolution for the fullbacks. But if all that comes at the cost of being a careless defender, it's really not worth it.

Maybe Wenger forgot to remind Arsenal's scouting team of that last bit. Andre Santos, brought in on deadline day in 2011, had shown these appreciable qualities. However, he was brought in at Arsenal to improve their backline and he would do anything except defend.

The left-back was so caught up moving forward that he would forget he had to track back to protect the backline. His tendency to give the ball away never truly allowed Arsenal to build play from wider areas.

In his two-year spell, he only made 23 league appearances for the Gunners. His anticipation of the game was slower than his team-mates and was only increasing his room for mistakes. Truly one of the most disappointing Arsenal signings.

#1 Francis Jeffers

Francis Jeffers is seen as one of the worst signings made by Arsene Wenger

There is no better way to explain how big a blunder this was than to reveal that Francis Jeffers was signed for some inexplicable reason above Ruud van Nistelrooy. He arrived from Everton for a price tag of an initial £8 million.

That amount at the start of the century meant some hope and expectation, which eventually evaporated as Jeffers progressed through his Arsenal career. He was so useless that Wenger did not even keep him as a backup for Arsenal's 2003-04 'Invincible' season and loaned him bag to the Toffees.

In his Arsenal career, the Englishman popularly nicknamed "fox in the box" scored only eight goals. Here was a striker in Jeffers, who had the experience of the Premier League, was used to the intensity of the football in England and still miserably failed in north London.

He never really established himself in Arsenal's peak years of glory and whatever little promise he had shown at Everton was thrown out the window. Jeffers' career stagnated and then ultimately got ruined after his poor showing for Arsenal. It makes no sense to think that the striker was brought in to compete with the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and others.
