Yup, now he won't really be remembered at any club. Joined ManUre too late in his career to be a hero there (and looks like sulking his way out the door), and to Arsenal fans he's just some bloke who had a good 18 months for us before f--king off...
Doubt he has time to think about that sort of stuff, he'll be way too busy engineering his next big money move.Quote:

Players like Costa, Higuain, Dzeko, Draxler etc come in that range.
That's what we've been working towards. Now we should be able to do it without any bungs from our resident criminal unlike the chavs and gypos who are 100% reliant on the proceeds of crime.
We should be thinking bigger than that.....Manks have been spending that for 12/13 years nowQuote:

& that's ignoring Cronaldo and Saha for £12+ million each in (£25 million total) 03/04
That's over £220 million !!! at pre-gypos inflated prices and some beyond pre-Chavski inflated prices
