RB: Bacary Sagna

Mr. Consistency. Not only was Sagna swagged out with his braided hair, something that City fans don’t get to experience, but he was also blessed with the ability of always being reliable when he was needed most. For seven years Sagna patrolled the right side of the park for Arsenal, contributing with sharp build up play and steady crossing. But more importantly he was rock solid defending and oh my word was he stellar in the air. Especially for someone his size.

I will never forget his goal at Chelsea from a corner, nailing a header in at the near post. Sagna was a bonafide cult hero, one that everyone was extremely sad to see go. The other’s vyng for this spot in the starting XI consist mainly of Lee Dixon and Lauren. Dixon is somewhat of a cult hero, but didn’t possess the talent that Sagna does, nor was he as much of a catalyst going forward. Likewise with Lauren.

Truthfully, the wing back positions were easily the least competitive one’s as Arsenal has made a habit of having mainstays there for as long as possible.

Moving on, we get to the man that embodied the club at center back.
