As an arsenal fan I think about ramsey, diaby, wilshere, and RVP.

All of them struggled with injuries at Arsenal and could have been difference makers in certain seasons.

shite, we probably were in the CL this season with a healthy Ramsey last year.

Interesting. The only one that I can see that would definitely be in the upper tier would be RVP. And I think that he’d hit his ceiling

The circle of Anderson:

Have monstrous game, get injured, get fat as shite, return and play awfully while working back to fitness, have monstrous game, get injured, get fat as shite

One of my "what-if" players is Djibril Cissé. Dude broke both legs in separate incidents in his mid 20s and still had a noteworthy and decent-to-good career.

Sure his leg break held him back, but I wouldn't say injuries have held his career back or tarnished some of his skill.

I love this man too, still have his autographed Arsenal jersey tucked away in its frame under my bed
