Poor mans ginola? Who won the World Cup, euros and an awful lot with arsenal including being a key part of the invincibles? Ginola, talent as he was, had less than a quarter of his caps for France and hit the heights of Aston villa, Newcastle, spurs and Everton.

He was good about five years ago,not for us,we need energy,enthusiasm and ability to play the way Dickov wants to.
You could look at it as good publicity,but i'd look at it as making the club look a joke,it would be a past it named token signing,just to get a few on the gate,we aren't that desperate.

Red who does he play for now?,as far as i know he's been retired for a few years,it makes the club look a joke because it's amateurish cheap publicity,just to keep us in the news,he isn't capable of playing at League one level.
The defenders in that league wouldn't just let him stand on the wing and run the game,he would get kicked from pillar to post and would lose interest in weeks.
A Great player in his time at Arsenal,no doubt about it,a cheating git,but annoyingly good,hasn't got it any more.
