Arsenal FC: Analysis of Arsenal's Want-Away Players

Arsenal FC can be regarded as one of the heavyweights in world football because of their status in the Premier League as well as the Champions League. The club has won 13 League titles, 10 FA Cups, two League Cups, one European Cup Winners' Cup and one Fairs Cup. In Arsene Wenger’s first nine years as the manager of Arsenal FC, he amassed a large trophy haul ranging from Premier League titles to FA Cups and Community Shields.

However, Wenger’s last six seasons with the club haven't brought any fond memories because the club has not delivered any silverware of any sort. Arsenal has dropped from being the dominant force that challenged Manchester United every season for a title to a side that labels Champions League qualification as a success.

After ending the season in second place to Mourinho’s Chelsea in 2005, Arsenal have been in a zigzag-like motion in terms of their final position in the League. In 2007, Arsenal ended at fourth place, third place in 2008, fourth place in 2009, third place in 2009 and concluded this season at fourth place again.

The only players that have stood on a podium in Arsenal colors are Manuel Almunia, Gael Clichy, Francesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie. The remaining lot is yet to experience that feeling at the club and this has made some of the "ambitious" players grow weary. Lack of playing time at the club has also been a factor to some of the players seeking a move elsewhere.

Here’s an overview of Arsenal’s want-away players.
