In seemed like Wenger learned nothing from the Anthony Stokes deal. Before falkirk took him on loan. Nail Quinn and Sunderland had him on a short trail with a view to buying him for £500'000. They didn't see enough in him so didn't bother with the deal. So then we end up loaning him to Falkirk, a Mickey Mouse team in a Mickey Mouse league. The boy ends up destroying that league, best player and top scorer with about 7 goals ahead of the next nearest halfway into the season. Sunderland end up coming in at the winter window and then buy Stokes for £2.1m possibly rising to £4m.
Tractor Sazi in Iran. Aside from the amusing name, playing in Iran hardly fits in with his reputation as a hard-drinker
