Yeah that's pretty common.

Manager identifies the player, other people will do the negotiations.

Oh fair, guess I misread the convo, thought Charlie was saying that managers shouldn't really be involved at all :lol:

Yeah DB10 was Brucie's signing but Bruce was Wengers stopgap!

Wenger had to see a year out with Grampus before he could come over to Arsenal, I am positive thst Bruce Rioch was a temp (how much he knew I am unsure) but I am equally convinced that Bergkamp was brought in on Wengers advise.

For some reason Bergkamp never felt like the Rioch type of player but it made a whole lot of sense when we started to realise what direction Wenger was taking us.


(That has always been my opinion, feel free to shoot it down!)

Sound about right to me!

And the part about Henry is bullshit unless you are trying to say that AW picking up Henry from a faltering career at Juve and helping him become one of the greatest goalscorers evet and an absolute Gooner legend doesnt count because they knew it other in the past.

And didn't he also advise the board to sign Vieira before he offically took over.
