We all make mistakes. And in signing Denis Suarez on loan back in January, Arsenal may have regrets over the often-crocked Spaniard who failed to see out the duration of his Gunners deal.
Having understandably not taken Suarez on a long-term contract, Arsenal fans are now grateful boss Unai Emery has not spent the team’s limited cash on the midfielder, who was unable to make a single start in his brief Gunners career.
Making just six appearances during his Emirates stay, a troublesome groin ended the midfielder’s season two months early and returned to Barcelona without making an impact in the Premier League – amassing just over an hour of league action through substitute cameos.
And after the 25-year-old confirmed a return to Celta Vigo, the club where he started his youth career, some supporters were free to denounce his brief stint as a Gunner without the fear of him returning to North London in the near future.
Unfortunately for the one-time Spain international, given the mixed fortunes of previous Arsenal loanees, he could not escape comparison to some of other peculiar Gunners part-timers – and some fans did not hold back:
One of Arsenal’s most pointless signing ever.

Dodged a bullet with this one, for once, smart business to bypass the Purchase Clause in his loan deal
