ascender 352 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Which manager first tried Gio as a LB or wing back more accurately? I seem to remember he was very unhappy when he was first asked to play that position, but he's since made it his preferred role. Was it Wenger? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Aye it was Wenger, pretty much as soon as he went down there too iirc Havin another good game tonght. Wish we had kept him. Was it �£8m that we sold him for? He's certainly had a great career. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Arsene Wenger played him at LB when he actually got a game for Arsenal 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,607 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 He also played for Holland at LB while with us, if Numan was injured. As far as I can tell, Arsenal bought him as a midfielder, but he didn't seem to be able to step up to the plate in that position when playing along side other big name players. he was therefore converted to LB. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Would I be right in saying that Overmars was playing wide left for Arsenal when Gio signed? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 842 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Would I be right in saying that Overmars was playing wide left for Arsenal when Gio signed? Overmars would have been left or very close to leaving when Gio signed for Arsenal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Arnold Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 His Rangers debut was at left back! Dick Advocaat played him there a few times but it was at Arsenal that he was a LB regular. In fairness, he seems to be a good left back but compared to his midfield performances, he's wasted in defence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
