Unlikely quotes from players at signing press conferences

The great arsenal faxed Juno their offer whilst robbo was over meeting his family and yet he signed for us... why.

Because we were there with cash on the hip and he'd already had a nice chat with Robbo and Lamby. Plus we were probably offering bigger wages.

BTW Arsenal finished 12th in the PL in 1995, it wasn't exactly like signing for AC Milan. On the day he signed for us we were actually level with them in the league.

You’re just being daft now, I’m Boro to the core and I’m as rose tinted as anyone but even I would never say that is and arsenal have ever been remotely close to each other in stature.

arsenal are a huge football club
 
"Hi, I'm Emerson's cousin, he asked me to ask you where are the pretty dancing ladies? Football? Oh yes, well I played a little when we were children. Where is the famous Madison?"

I was just pointing out a fact - how is that daft? Arsenal were in a slump in the mid-90s. Of course they were a bigger club than us, but we were on the up and they were on the slide, but the idea that he signed for us over them purely because of his deep-rooted long burning love of Bryan Robson really is preposterous. We signed Merson 18 months later, as you know (and as cited in this thread), because we could afford to pay bigger wages than them for lesser players.

BTW you say Arsenal are huge, they've only won one European trophy (which no longer exists).

Honestly gets on my t*ts when you hear players blowing smoke up the **** of fans about their club.
"Wigan Athletic are a massive club, I knew I wanted to sign for them as soon as I heard they were interested".
Total lie.

True - but if a player signed for Boro and didn't do that, he'd get absolutely slaughtered
 
Whilst playing for another club, I stopped looked around and thought, I’d love to play for Bournemouth.
 
"Other clubs were interested, but when I heard Jonathan Woodgate fancied me, I just had to come"
 
“I didn’t want to sign for Middlesbrough, nor did my wife want me to, but I will pick up a huge signing on fee, suffer it here for a few weeks and as soon as a suitable half-excuse appears I will claim I have been badly treated and demand a move which will generate me another large signing on fee.”

Martin Braithwaite, 13th July, 2017. He didn’t actually say it but he thought it.


The same quote could probably be attributed to Emerson and Garry Monk.
 
European star “ i heard of a place called Port Clarence on the river opposite to a village of the South Bank . This district sounds good “
 
Same Euro star “ my agent mentions Parmesan as main ingredient in many Middelsboro dishes - this is my favourite cheese so everything looked right “.
