Underneath, you reveal a younger, more talented three-time European trophy winner and four-time league champion who has been voted into various FIFA World XI teams.
Perhaps, after Laurent Koscielny’s despicable Bordeaux introduction video, it is one for the Arsenal media team to mock up using CGI when they replace him instantly with David Luiz.
The final touches are being put on an £8m deal which may not bring Unai Emery the leading defensive figure he needs, but it is certainly a step in the right direction that Arsenal fans should applaud.
Both Koscielny and Luiz have an error or two in them, a frustration for Arsenal and Chelsea fans alike over the years.

Arsenal looking to 'pounce' for David Luiz transfer says fan
The Brazilian offers Emery’s dream of being able to transition defence into attack with the fluidity of his passing. Koscielny was always too stilted.
Luiz may contain the odd blunder to cost a vital goal, but at the same time he could set up two at the other end with his forward thinking.
Which is why this shock move is the perfect response to Koscielny so callously tossing his Arsenal shirt aside.
