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.The great arsenal faxed Juno their offer whilst robbo was over meeting his family and yet he signed for us... why.
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 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
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.
That was Mido wasn't it?Same Euro star “ my agent mentions Parmesan as main ingredient in many Middelsboro dishes - this is my favourite cheese so everything looked right “.
