I've been thinking about this a lot lately too. I guess this is why I get annoyed during debates about players like Ben Arfa, who sure, couldn't defend well as a winger or #10, but dammit if I don't miss watching a player who at least was capable of getting you out of your seat with some magic (though I'd add Cabaye, Ba, Cisse and Remy did too). For years now we've loaded up with responsible players who'll do a job and not take chances, but if we're going to struggle against relegation every year, I'd at least like some occasional entertainment.
