(The Sun) Serves him and Sidwell right for making the stupid decision to go there in the first place. He must have known the bench was where he was going to mostly be, I guess the reserves is a step too far even for a pay day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Don't understand that bit about Grant as all things point to the fact he'll be moved upstairs in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6098 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 One of Modric, Arshavin or Diego would be good for a start. I dont think I can handle Geremi being our main creative force for much longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8951 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Why don't people just forget about Diego once and for all. He is as likely as a swarm of flying pigs. Arshavin looked pretty good in the first leg against Leverkusen tbh. It will be interesting how he copes against Bayern in the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
