Would you have kept him? His departure gave Djourou and Squillaci a stage on which to prove they're shit, and with Koscielny's shaky first season I'm still wondering why we didn't just meet Gallas apparent 80-grand a week demands.
Everyone who says about his tantrum at Birmingham, at least it showed he had passion and was fucked off to the max with Clichy. Granted Adams or McLintock wouldn't have done that but I won't slate him for it unlike some
He was immense when he captained the scum in that 3-2 last season, they wouldn't have won had he not been in their side.

And lets not forget the reason we got him to start with i.e. because he refused to play for Chelsea again and because our board would not sanction the extra £5k per week wages for Cole. So we sold the guy who'd just proved himself at Euro 2004 to be about the best left back anywhere in Europe for.......William Gallas + £5m. Sold to a club that were just embarking on spending £30m+ for players too.
Gallas was outstanding for us, big mistake letting him go, he has been superb for Spurs since the move, terrible mistake selling Billy. He has a heart of a lion and wants to win at all costs, too bad our poncey players were intimidated by such a man..
