Robert Pires......What a genius.....

[markyp]

my favourite Arsenal player of all time ever

[OneBardGooner]

Along with Abou one of the players I most miss

Speaking of Villa Park I know you must remember Abous festive cracker there in 2008

Pure genius ! And if you watch the celebrations afterwards you'll see Rodders and Augie giving Abou a big hug !

He actually nutmegs the villan defender with a back heel - Just gotta admit that was 'Class'.

i still cant believe wenger sold him rather than give him a two year or more contract.

What makes it worse is that le bumhole let him go on a free disgusting treatment of such a great player And even more galling is le fartpipes later decision to sign the utterly shite(and in his 30s bytheway) silvestre from the mancscum on what i think was a 2yr deal

[casgooner]

Allowing our older players from the Invincibles to leave so soon and replacing them largely with younger payers was our downfall. There was no experience on the pitch to nurture the young talent we had.

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Gutted we never got to see Pires make magic at the Emirates.

And when you see Rosicky is still at the club on a good whack, offering no return whatsoever at 35 !!!

The way - and the speed - that TOF broke up the Invincibles was a disgrace, as was his rampant ageism to the over 30s - Only to U-turn and offer multi-year contracts to less talented over 30s who did become plodders

Pires was class
