A proven striker at premiership level is somewhat stretching it a bit.

He was was a Wenger 'fraud'.

Wenger brought him over after a couple of half decent seasons in France and he was completely out of his depth at Arsenal, Palace and his short stay with West Ham.

Footballers are not allowed to eat hot dogs anymore under FA rules so I'm with you on that one :laughing5:

Mainly for Palace where he couldnt hit a barndoor with a banjo. Most of his appearances for Arsenal were off the bench.

His goalscoring record in England is 1 in every 5 and a half games.

The bloke is a complete fraud when it comes to the English game, better suited to the continent.

Down to opinions obviously,he was never a out and out goal scorer more of a target man,which in my book is not suited for the continent,more to the British game,got the ability but it's down to attitude,and he clearly not interested,by the way I actually do think he's shit :lol:
