He had a bit of a battle winning the fans over with his lethargic style at first but in the end one of my most bitter memories of a dark night in paris was seeing his number come up and watching him walk off the pitch prematurely, not the way we had all hoped he would sign out.

p.s not questioning the decision, was just a shame thats all!

It'll be great to welcome Bobby back. Just hope that he doesn't get injured beforehand which would be typical of our luck...

Let's face it, he should still be plying his trade with us.

Basil if you look above I translated the stuff off the Villarreal website, that is exactly what the Sun have done.

I loved Bobby, more so the henry or Viera.

I have mixed feelings about him coming back. Yes, it will be good to give him the ovation he deserves but I never like seeing an ex-favourite come back until they are retired or something.

No specific reason why but I just don't like them returning.

Chippy - I didnt read the whole thread but I have now read your post - and you were spot on!

I take anything the sun says with a pinch of salt anyway, I'm pleased to see him back, and who wouldnt say they wanted the team they play for to win?

As I said above.

Now watch this be totally distorted by the press tomorrow morning.

Good article in today's Observer

The return offers the chance of closure for 2006, with Pires on the other side. It is also a chance for the Frenchman to overcome his own trauma from that campaign, ArsÃ¨ne Wenger's decision to replace him in the final following Jens Lehman's red card â€“ a decision he says "killed" him.
