    Sorry, but if we're doing bizarre selections, that time he dropped Henry and played Aliadiere in the semi against United still rankles. I know he got away with it a couple of years before with Wiltord, but Aliadiere wasn't Wiltord.

    Franny Jeffers ? Just what was he thinking. Kim Kallstrom, the broken back wonder. That sh*t defender we signed from United, who was so far past his sell by date, his must have had green mould in his hair.

    I liked the lookalike/likeforlike replacement approach Idea he had for a while. I mentioned this several times over the years.

    Adebayor for Kanu.
    Theo for Henry
    van Persie for Bergkamp
    Eboue for Lauren
    Clichy for Cole
    Rosicky for Pires,
    Diaby for Vieira

    all similar in stature.
    I am sure there were more.

    Steady on here lads. This thread is moving from a revealing of mysteries thread to a slating of our soon to be departed beloved manager thread.

    Tread carefully now.

    Yes, and he conceded a fúcking 40 yard free kick at his near post during it.

    To be fair Sanogo joined us at a time when he was a key member of a brilliant French U21 side with players like Umtiti, Pogba, Kondobgia and perhaps Griezemann.

    We appear to have simply went for the lad that was free, or cheapest, without asking why.
