He reminds me of Tony Daly even more than Theo Theo does! Head down, run at the end line, lose the ball. Simples! :evil: :banghead:

Dreadful last night, as he has been all season. I remember Wenger saying earlier in the season "he was the best premiership signing of the season" what a deluded arrogant twat.

My opinion remains exactly the same as the day we signed him; "Meh."

Totally ordinary, unexciting player.

Like Ramsey he has got worse as the season has gone on. However, given that we're stuck with him now I hope this has been a settling in season. It can happen, Colloccini was a clown in his first season at Newcastle and now he's captain. I'm not full of confidence though.

We can hope I suppose... but I would add that most top players that do take a season to settle into the PL still manage to show regular examples of real quality whereas Large Forehead has shown nothing really... I'm not hopeful to be honest, mate... :(

A one footed useless wanker, a typical Wenger guy, but wait, he's suffering from missing a penalty playing for his country, who don't pay his wages when playing in the ANC, we should all feel sorry for him. :roll: :roll:

Utterly utterly hopeless. In a list of useless things, I think the running order is

1. Gervinho
2. A handbrake on a canoe
3. A glass-eye at a keyhole
4. An ashtray on a motorbike
5. A chocolate fireguard

The difference is only one of the above cost €10m - something that our esteemed manager was basking in at the start of the season, as if it was some form of bargain

I have experienced greater bargains in a Little Chef

I was quite impressed with his early performances. He was beating lots of players with his run and made a few goals. He was guilty of missing seemingly easy chances but at least he was getting in the positions.

Recently though he has been doing none of these things. Very disappointing. With many players though (especially foreign signings) the second season is the time to judge as by then they will either have settled and blossom or continue to disappoint and leave the club.

As I said when we bought him. Despite his stats in the world class physical fast paced French league he was still shite.

No composure, awful finishing and terrible final touch. Good at running with the ball and runs around a lot trying as hard as he can. He never got better in the French league and his final ball NEVER improved.

He just had a situation where if you fuck up 12 times in a game in the end he will get a goal or an assist. Sadly the prem doesn’t give you 12 chances to get something right.

He was a budget buy and he will stay on the bench and be our BIG IMPACT player for the next few years.


We need to sell this fool, along with Cham and Park

Which would be fine if it were the case, but wasn't the quoted fee €11.5m or something close ?

Hardly what I'd call a bargain. I think everyone forgets just how much money that is still. Demba Ba or Papiss Cisse are what I would call bargains. £10m for Mikel Arteta is a bargain.

I'd have felt that I'd have got better value for money buying 11.5m scratchcards than handing that kind of money over for the useless waster we've been landed with
