Even worse, iirc Hughes was replaced by Alfons Groenendijk, who was probably even worse than Holden
Ricky holden was so shit, he never realised we took the piss out of his name by chanting ' oh dicky holden".
He always waved back.
Another time, he left his ex club sponsored car outside the North stand ticket office. After a shite game we were still on our way out, he got so much shit that day. No one asked for his autograph.
Yes it was a shite sale of Hughes to swap him for Holden.
He actually really tried hard which normally worked with us, however in this circumstance his efforts most of the time proved less useful than useless.
Isn’t that the point though? Selling him and Jesus (probably much moreso Jesus as he is the epitome of hard work and determination in the attacking third that Arsenal have been shown ‘this is how you do it, watch Gabi’ by Arteta, massively, and their whole squad has followed him) to Arsenal and not Atlético Madrid and Frankfurt (random examples).I don't understand all this crying about zinner.
He was never a permanent fixture in the starting 11, he's a brilliant footballer, technically very good but please stop this talk that we've made a mistake.
If Arsenal aren't top of the league then this thread isn't here.
Bloody hell, can we please give up on this. Fuck me, the amount of stick ZInch used to get on here!!!We are past the days of selling SWP being a complete disaster for any ambitions we had. We are a top team and whilst I've always admired Zinch we will live without him.Is selling Zinchenko, to a rival none the less, one of the dumbest sales this club has ever done, all things considered?

And replaced wim with an ageing David Cross and then Trevor Christie!Trevor Francis, ripped up the league evetime he was fit and added at least 5K to the attendance in dark times, then we sold him for a huge loss. FFS
That's a fair point but when we sold them Arsenal wasn't considered a rival at the beginning of the season, did they lose out on 4th place on the last day?Isn’t that the point though? Selling him and Jesus (probably much moreso Jesus as he is the epitome of hard work and determination in the attacking third that Arsenal have been shown ‘this is how you do it, watch Gabi’ by Arteta, massively, and their whole squad has followed him) to Arsenal and not Atlético Madrid and Frankfurt (random examples).
It’s not that we should have kept them, we shouldn’t. Just not sell them to a Prem title rival.
Yes, me too. Some players we sold seemed to have a lasting impact/like losing icons. Tueart was one, I know he was after the money but don't know why City did not fight tooth and nail to keep him. He was the stand out player for me once the King was crocked.I was devastated when Dennis Tueart left
