Wiltord was good tbh.

Overshadowed by the likes of Henry and Pires, but lets not forget his contribution was always welcome when the main guys weren't on it. I think he got double figures in 2 or 3 seasons with us which is not a bad return for a squad player.

But then Wenger chucked him out on the right. :rolleyes:

Anyway, Wiltord will always be worth it for THAT goal. :cloud9:

I liked Wiltord and thought he was wasted on the right. Only thing I didnt like about him was that he looked a bit like Gallas IMO :sick:

He then started buying players more pleasing on the eye than effective or not as effective and consistent as you'd expect from players who have to win a 38-game league like the PL.

Yup, the love affair with Reyes did mark the beginning of the end.

Pretty much.

And the Reyes signing wasn't a bad one, he'd be a top, top player if he wasn't a weak pile of filth.

If we're really being honest the downfall started when we swapped a top midfielder (Vieira) for a 16 year old midget still learning his trade (Fabregas).

Hater.
TBH Paddy wanted out and youre right Cesc wasnt ready but as I said Wenger can handle anyone once they become adults, things are not made any better by the policies in place and the stibborn bloody mindedness of everyone from Wenger upwards

A miserly old man took our football and won't give it back.

Piss off - they never asked for it back so I'm keeping it.

Wiltord was always getting himself in an offside position. If he had controlled that better, he might have scored a bucket load more goals.
