I got his name on the back of the blue away kit that season
Think Wenger got unfortunate with Reyes, he left when he was around 24? In a different world, he would probably be a star player in the Fabregas/Van Persie era (Perhaps that was the plan?) and who knows if thatād made the difference.
Yeah, Reyes was often given a poor manās status in a team full of stars.
By no means was he a flop. The common misconception is Gary Neville ruined him. The inbred ratboy cunt did nothing of the sort. Reyes carried his form through the rest of the season.
If we had Reyes in our current team, heād be running Big Pierre incredibly close for best player in the team.
I can watch videos of Thierry all day long, just absolutely amazing
He was actually only 22 (!!) when he left, just about to turn 23.
Amazing when you consider how many quality performances he already produced, how polished he already was as a player and the room he still had to grow. I mean, he was a month younger than Van Persie and Van Persie was still quite far from the starting XI in 2006, only in 2007 he started to play more consistently, Reyes already had a few years mostly being a starter here (thanks to his vesatility too).
He should have been one of our most important players for the post Invincible generation, just as Fabregas and Van Persie. Sadly he couldnāt resist the call of Madrid at that time and that move kinda killed his career at the elite level.
Him and Van Persie leading the attack was always my perfect dream scenario . Imagine that link up.
RIP
Pretty sure Aguero has also done five seasons of 20+ goals.
Guessing their not counting the 20 one as itās technically not over 20 goals.
Thierry 2023ā¦
ā¦
We were insanely good that night. Should have been 3-0 up in the first ten minutes
I didnāt doubt he was strict. That was pretty much his reign at Monaco. Players were certainly scared of him.
Surely his tactics are shit though. Hoping he proves me wrong.
Henry had absolutely no patience with young players or players who werenāt up to playing at his level, Iād imagine thatās probably his biggest issue as a manager
He aināt the king for nothing bro
I was there for that game. Was fucking great. I donāt care what the dubious goals panel says, he scored it.
Another player inspired by the King. Donāt think we will see someone like TH14 at this club again for a while. Auba for as good as he is still isnāt on that level, which in my opinion just shows how great TH14 is.
Not quite the striker Wrighty was though.
