Hopefully Big Willy will be the same. Tell Los Francos to eff off cos he's a Gooner through and through.
No, he wouldn't have chosen us had it not been for Wenger. I think Pires has effectively said that before. But players wanting to play specifically for YOU is not luck. And it wasn't because he was French.

Kolo Toure, Edu, Van Persie, Silvinho, Igors Stepanovs..... it is fair to say Wenger's knowledge ran beyond French football.
