Under Graham we only became boring after we lost to Benfica, which is not down to wright I agree. But up until that point there was nothing wrong with our attack. Personally I think GG took a bung when he signed Wrighty. The week we signed Wright we put 6 past Austiria Vienna. Smith 4, Merson 1, Campbell 1, Then we put 5 past Sheffield utd Smith 2, Campbell 2 (remind me who got the other I think it was Groves)
GG attributes signing Wright because of an early season dip in fortunes we lost Kevin Campbell to injury and picked up 1 point from our first three games.
You mention Cole - a) he was unproven at the top level and no-one other than Bristol City came in for him, which shows how hot a property Cole was.
b) If the rumour that surrounds Cole's exit is true, then there is no way he could have remained.
Cole also had his critics while at UnitedHow can you say Wright was better than Cole?
He was disappointed at getting only 23,000 at his testimonial - and the point of testimonials is that the gate receipts go directly to the player, so I doubt that money was not an issue entirely.Adams never put himself ahead of Arsenal. The man was a top class centre back and a leader. He was bound to attract attention, and if you read his autobiography you will find staying with Arsenal and not joining man u had fuck all to do with money.
