    Brilliant player. Just not suited to the English game.

    You have to look at how far hes taken them since we had the likes of Rioch. Wenger has his own style, which is exciting but it also gets results. He may not sign big but he always seems to find a diamond in the rough

    Remember Arsenal weren't supposed to be a contender this year with their young team and if weren't for the African nations and injurys they may not have slipped up in the league and won the thing

    Perhaps, maybe an attitude problem? It hurt Man U accomidating him and comprimising the midfield of bekham, scholes, keane, giggs

    Yeah he maybe didn't have the grit and determination that those 4 possessed. I remember him being outstanding in a few Champion's League games - more his thing.

    Lots of flops,

    Tabissi (that shitty italian keeper)
    Forlan (still crap although some think he is great now)
    Veron
    Saha
    Djemba (who would pay any money for him)
    Kleberson (what a **** player)

    Fergie gets it right a lot of the time though, Cantona, Ronaldo, Vidic, Rio, Keane, Pallister, Bruce, Irwin, Stam, Cole, Yorke.

    The difference between man u and arsenal is that wenger's team is always in a state of rebuilding and bringing on a team for next year. Fergie does this as well but his teams do peak and win trophies. Arsenal are at a massive disadvantage because wenger will not pay 20-30m for a top player he would rather bring in a young unknown who will progress and be good in 2-4 seasons time.

    Cantona was the big signing for me but more than showing that Fergie made a good signing it showed that Howard Wilkinson was dumb as fck. How da fck did he let Cantona go (and on the cheap) then again he bought fat Thomas Brolin for a bit of money and he did jack ****.

    Cantona had a long history of being difficult to manage and falling out with managers. He found a 'spiritual home' at United and Ferguson indulged hm. That's the art of man management I guess.

    Another problem Arsenal have is when players get big they leave seeing Arsenal as not a big enough team and we've seen it time and again

    Henry, Viera, Overmars, Petit, Anelka all left to bigger clubs. Each time this happened it knocked Arsenal back 10 steps

    That is nonsence. He has been a huge success at both Villareal and Atletico Madrid. Don't give me that 'it is easier to score in Premiera Liga crap', Torres never scored more than 14 goals a season there.

    He is crap, Vinny Samways was a success in Spain so it means very little. Even Steve Archibald and John Aldridge were successful in Spain.

    Torres is 1000X a better player than Forlan and I said that even before he came to Liverpool.
