Pulis gets mocked for this one, even though he was a 20 year old kid with little experience at the time. It was Wenger that should get criticised, he was the one who sold him for a pittance.

 

Pretty sure Wenger gave him a decent run but got peters for Arsenal fans for persisting with him.

 

Yeah that's bollocks. Wenger gave him decent game time in a far stronger team than West Brom. The loan was the chance for him to get first team football and Pulis played him once before giving up - essentially wasting a whole year of his career.

 

After that Wenger begrudgingly sold him because his contract had a year to run and he couldn't guarentee him games week in week out. Gnabry himself pushed for the move away.

Gnabry played 9 games 2 seasons before he went out on loan, didn't appear once the season before he went to WBA.

 

Also, if you've got a flair player like that, why the fuck would you agree to send him to play for Tony Pulis in what was probably his most important season of development?

Guess 30+ games for Tony Pulis in the Champo is better for development than a handful of appearances in the PL. Obviously it didn't work out that way but the assumption is generally that your player on loan is going to get significant minutes.

He had a knee injury for that season.

 

Letting him play for a wanker like Pulis was undoubtedly a poor decision, maybe too much confidence in a fellow professional.

 

Regardless Wenger was always a fan of Gnabry and ended up letting him go as it was the best thing for his career and because the player himself pushed for it.

I remember being astonished an Arsenal forward player with flair, who was not very big and powerful had been sent on loan to Pulis. Never expected him to feature there at all.

 

It was a terrible idea. I mean what could he have possibly learnt seeing the ball launched to the front man, and looking to feed off knock ons. Crazy stuff.

Ben Arfa to Hull under Bruce levels of fuckwittery.

Spurs are in a funny place really, not a brilliant squad but with flashes of brilliance when they’re on it. And they didn’t attempt to buy their way to the next level.

 

No shame in that like, they’re still good.

 

They've got a brilliant squad but and a somewhat overrated coach.

I think both are slightly overrated TBH. No way their squad is brilliant.

 

I’m talking relative to the absolute top level mind, obviously they’re a good team.

Liverpool man ... one full back assisting the other in a lovely move.

 

Looking forward to Manquillo and Dummett replicating that this weekend.

 

Nah, I prefer Dummett running at 30 mph across the pitch like a Buffalo  to hoof the ball up to level 7 for a throw in to the rapturous applause of his adoring public.

Couldn't see Spurs going for Rafa at all tbh

 

They would go for Rodgers I’d guess if they needed to.

 

Rafa with Spurs squad = they'd challenge to win the league with City and Liverpool. They'd have an incredibly solid back 3 or 4 and the proper quality on the pitch to execute his tactics and then you add in Kane as the striker. Filthy.
