Robert Pires

[HolyRioli]

seems to have signed with Aston Villa

Seems like a slightly odd move to me, can only be a short term fix, possibly to cover the extensive injury list in midfield and help support the youngsters?

Legend.

Houllier trying to pull another McAllister/Litmanen

He was strongly linked to the Thai league, quite a change in class to go back to the Premier League.

No white player could handle that humidity.

No, that's a fact. lol

 

[Darealrath]

My three favourite Arsenal players have all gone on to play with out premier league clubs now (Wright and Vieira the other two). Weird.

I reckon he's got another goal vs spurs in him.

Good move as long as he doesn't take starts off Albrighton and Bannan. With all the injuries we've got he'll be great as a squad player and for the youngsters to learn from.

Has been training with Arsenal the last few weeks

 

[Deledinho]

He was linked to Crawley Town (*****) in the Conference a couple of weeks ago, too.

Except Phil Neville.

Was also strongly linked with Fat Clive at GCU and then probably saw footage of the stadium and ran a hundred miles.

ROBERT PIRES will be driven 250 miles a day to and from training with Aston Villa.

Pires insists he will go the extra mile for his new club but will not move to Birmingham.

The Frenchman, 37, will remain in London and use a chauffeur to reach the Midlands.

ahh, to be a footballer.

 

[r dub 19]

Lives in one of the highbury flats doesn't he?

LOL!

To be fair I wouldn't move to Birmingham either.

he owns one of them, yeah.

a few of the ex-players bought them before they went on sale. Wenger has one too.

 

[Godzke]

250 miles? As if he'd be that committed.
