I've said it wasn't solely for economic reasons but first and foremost was that he showed a bit of talent. WP issues meant he stagnated in Antwerp though while he was on loan there. As with all youth signings you wont know whether they're good or bad until they try to make the step up and he was found wanting when given a chance. The other Asian player though has found to be useful so he's stayed. Otherwise he'd have been shipped off too. Don't think Dong went on more than one of our Asian tours to further my argument.
Nah have discussed the fortunes and signings of other teams.

Arghh lost 2-1 to Burnley in a hell of a match best game I've seen at the Vic for a while. Ahead with only 6 minutes to go aswell bet yer Burnley get a ****ing plumb tie now Man Utd away or something always ****ing happens.
One of my pet hates why the **** though do referees stop the game when someone gets hit in the head with a ball? For ****'s sake it's a football not a ****ing lead weight.
Had it twice tonight with the same soft **** Joey Gudjohnson, we smash a free kick into the wall ball end's up at our centre foreward's feet 6 yards out with only keeper to beat, Gudjohnson all falls over clutching his face where the ball as hit him referee stops the match.
If someone gets hit in the face during a Sunday league game everybody just laughs & tells the soft **** to get up.

I seem to remember you totally refuted the fact that Dong was signed for mainly economic reasons actually, but I won't dig the posts to prove it, because everyone else here apart from you remembers it just fine.

At least he arguably could have made it, was a young guy with a good engine who was already an established international player, his seasons with Fulham and West Brom demonstrated that he could at least play a season or two of Premiership Football, unlike Dong, who clearly was never up to the job and had he not been from Asia would never have been given a look in. Obviously Inamoto never really made the cut at any British side, but he wasn't far from doing so. Shame he didn't get a bit more of a run at Arsenal though, felt sorry for him that he got to go up and lift the Premiership trophy but didn't actually get hold of a medal himself. Will always remember him for his goals against Russia in the 2002 world cup, WAG.

Yeah he was a considerably better player than Dong but I never saw enough from him to convince me why Arsene bought him. He's at Rennes now and apparently getting good playing time. Glad it's worked out for him.
Loved the 2002 World Cup after he scored the goals and F365 running the Arsene:"Sorry Junichi, I didn't see the incident" gag. Cracks me up to this day.

Where do I contradict that? I said economic reasons may have factores but the main reason would be footballing.

Someone got cut in half by an unruly fan with a kitchen knife?

Jack Collison's dad died on Sunday whilst going to the ground to see him play, if you didn't know.
Cue Millwall fans taunting him about it last night, as well as having chants taunting Davenport.
**** Millwall.

Also, to the all the media I read saying that City don't care about their fans anymore:
Hanging Out With The City Squad - True Mancunian
The kid there was hit by a brick and knocked out by some deadbeat ****head Celtic fan at the pre-season friendly 3 weeks ago. That's how you look after your fans.

Well there was a stabbing and bricks thrown at Upton Park
On a different topic, at least you should be happy that Lescott has signed. Something I want to ask though, on FM09 it had Richard Dunne's wages at £70k per week, is that correct or close enough? Partly why he wouldn't want to leave Citeh then.

Guy got injured (Idriajz), but because that meant Swansea were down to 6 they put him back on the pitch to basically stand there for the last couple of minutes of extra time so they wouldn't have to replay it for not having enough players.
