i was reading an article there and it suggested that although comolli has presented himself as having been arse's chief scout in europe, in fact he was nothing of the kind.

can anyone shed some light?

He was Wenger's trusted Lieutenant in Europe in terms of scouting. He left Arsenal to work more independently of Arsenal and we picked him up from another Club I think.

St Ettiene, i believe.

The article suggested that he told everyone he was European Chief Scout for Arsenal, but actually Wenger didn't see him in that role. Which is strange seeing how utterly furious Arsene was said to be after we snaffled him.

was he? i didn't know that. was wenger trying to sign him back up? and the article mentioned that there were a few people who didn't agree with comolli's description of his old job.

surely it can't all be paper talk that jol wanted a centre back and was given kaboul (who i like...just lacks experience at the one position you can't have a lack of experience) it really seems as though the whole club is geared toward having a higher resale value...and the resale will happen sooner than later
