Pretty impressive cv. Helped us in a difficult time when Cuntsri and Cuntregas bailed us.

11/12 was a poor moment in our history. This guy being one of our better players lol. It was just van Persie + 10 others

@LukeTheGooner finally mate!

The Ac Milan game at home and the Spuds 5-2 being the highlight of that season for me. Still mad that Persie missed that huge chance to fulfill the magic comeback.

Was always a fan, even going back to him being at West Ham. Hated that Chelsea signed him.

Probably my favorite loan without a buy of my entire Arsenal fandom.

All I will say is he wasn’t the worst player we signed that day :sweat_smile: He’s certainly not own thread worthy though.

I blame Rafa Benitez for spoiling his career.
Would have made a bigger impact if not for his Liverpool stint. Wenger should have brought him in earlier, perhaps as a replacement for Hleb.

This is around the time Wenger needed to be binned lol. Just total panic buying, no forward thinking and just everything was so fucking reactive lol

I guess I must have missed his greatness. Not a bad player, but not someone I would rate that high.

or the day you realised you brought shame to Yossi for not creating a dedicated thread for him earlier.
