Lee Dixon ...
""Wenger recruited some great players Kolo Toure, Sol, Thierry Henry. But Mustafi?
"I spoke to Gary Neville who said Valencia couldn't give him away.
"Then Arsenal came along and paid £30m for him."

I've read other quotes from this meeting suggesting Dixon claims that Wenger didn't do any coaching and that his success was down to inheriting George Graham's team. So it all sounds like a load of old cóck.Quote:

Boro Primorac does the coaching innit.Quote:

I'd put Mustafi among the better ones he's treated us to: Cygan, Willie Gallas (post chav), Gabriel on a good day, Senderos......probably a touch below Vermaalen.
Yet none of those would get into any of the other top teams.
Or Dixon's...Quote:

I think Squiddly-Diddly was actually quite good before he came to Arsenal.Quote:

I do not like Simeone. He's thuggish and brutish - like one of the baddies in a Caravaggio painting.Quote:

Saul Niguez and Jan Oblak would do nicely.
My No1 target would be Denis Zakaria...google him.
I think you are talking ****e...but nothing new there when it comes to footballQuote:
