Pascal Cygan

The baldy Frenchman cost Arsenal just £2.1 million in 2002 but one you’d seen him in action, it wasn’t hard to tell why. The 6’4″ stopper showed good strength and ariel presence but had the turning circle of a heavy-goods vehicle and his pace was cruelly exposed in the Premier League. Cygan quickly slipped down the pecking order at Arsenal and was eventually put out of his misery in 2006, when he was sold to Villareal.
