permanent for £80million next summer. A good deal, I'd say?
Add to that:
- Minsilant bought Demebele to Dortmund.
- He had an excellent relationship on and off the pitch with Aubameyang.
- He was recently with his son at an Arsenal team BBQ.

Why are we buying players from Spurs? This is a nonsense.Quote:

Flip it around...it’s like us trying to cut losses on Theo after a couple of seasons rather the decade plus he was here.

I've looked him up. It's a different bloke. Some gormless-looking Frog. Barcelona bought him last year for about a billion quid, and now want to offload him onto us.Quote:

He sounds like the new Ruel Fox to me. :-(Quote:

If it was a horse race I would be most keen on backing Walker to beat him over a longer distance.
He also had to waste time turning and gave Dembele a head start but still managed to get back up to him.
Or did I overthink that and French Theo really is that quick?
...
Also I thought you couldn’t leave and renter the field of play without the refs permission?
To be honest, what I took from it is that the useless **** can't even make a simple pass. :-(Quote:

And can't believe you didn't mention Glenn Helder
That would be classed as assault in today’s game imo
How about the Croatian chap Vida at centre half?
My only concern is whether or not Peter Reid visited Croatia 28 years ago...spitting image
:hehe: The thing that makes me laugh about that even now is the two attempted vicious assaults before Massing eventually savages him. Cameroon really were the best thing about that World Cup, bless ‘em.Quote:
