Traf Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hoof ball. We only ever played hoof ball. And Anelka was a lazy cunt, all he did was score goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Wanderer Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 That city away game was a great day out. Nolan's flicked assist on 3 minutes 10 as well 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Was at Walsall for his first goal. I still can't believe we had him playing for us. Still in his prime too. Biggest name we've ever had playing for us FACT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted April 15, 2020 Members Share Posted April 15, 2020 Best striker we’ve had since SJM. When him and Diouf were on it, they were a joy to watch. Loved him. Anelka that is not Diouf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Heiro, Okocha, Djorkaeff and Madine will be thrown back at me. But for me none were still in their prime, and a bigger name than NA when signed. I remember thinking to myself on the day we signed him how lucky we were to have him. Never thought that, until later maybe, about anyone else we signed.

Okocha was 28 when we signed him, def in his prime, and a snip at £0, given PSG had signed him previously for £10M he wasn't as well known as Anelka though, that's for sure and I agree he was our biggest signing in terms of making a statement of who we were at that time and we only got him because we missed out on Andy Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, even though that's not what mitigating circumstances mean (if anything, it'd be the opposite) anyway, my point was JJ was in his prime when we signed him for £8M less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when he got going he was another that I thought we were lucky to watch week in week out. Im just thinking that after you have thrown everything in to the mix then NA just about comes out on top. We were very spoilt back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deane koontz Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I can't remember fuck all from the season and half he played for us for some reason apart from the Arsenal game. What European games did he play for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted April 15, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2020 Whilst I'd go with Anelka (just), I'd have to say Youri must run him close. He went to a world Cup with a top team whilst with us & having him enabled Sam to get all the others in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 That pass through from Campo for Anelka's second against Arsenal in his early days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWFC_LOVE Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I’d say it’s Djorkaeff, given that he was the first of our galacticos and won a World Cup. It’s criminal that Anelka wasn’t in the France 98 squad though. He’d had a great first season at Arsenal. Instead they had non-scoring strikers in Dugarry and that donkey Guivarch.
