Bruce Rioch didn't do a huge amount for AFC but bringing this gentleman to Highbury was a masterstroke.
There are a few versions of that story.

One goes that Wenger suggested to david Dein at some Euro footy conference that DB10 was unhappy in Italy and could be had for a reasonable price. Thus Dein went with Wenger's recommendation and asked Rioch would he like DB10 and Rioch said yes please.

Another goes that George tried to get the money from the board to sign DB10 but was told the money wasn't available. When GG got the flick and the chance again arose to sign DB10 the board ok'd it as much as a nice slap in the face to GG as a good signing for the team.

I find the second story a bit hard to believe - could our board be that petty and unprofessional? :wink: :wink: :wink:

But I've heard the first one from a few diferent sources and it's mentioned in an unoficial biography of Wenger too. It's further strengthened I suppose by Rioch's playing "style" not exactly being in the Bergkamp mould... :-P
Don't believe that for one fucking nanosecond, I reckon if we hadn't won the cup, Wenger would have denied Dennis his testimonial.
Yea i don't believe it either, i'm afraid this is another one of those stories dreamt up by the Arsene is god gang..similar to the we had no success before he arrived story, the we were nothing before he arrived story, the we didn't exist before he arrived story and the he was going to buy just about every player on the planet that turned out to be good stories... :roll:
