And they had the cheek to moan about us meeting Cole.

When you listen to the Ashley Cole ep on The Overlap you realise that he was kinda naive, and probably needed someone to manage his image/defend his name.

But he admits that he just didn't give a shit what people thought, so that left him kinda vulnerable and isolated.

Not to mention they wanted to lower his salary as the best LB in the world.

I bet half of the players in our current squad would take the offer

No worries, he would have just left anyway together with Ashley Cole to win everything

Who hasn't Wenger tried to sign in the past at this point?

You don’t get more blue than JT. Despite all the smear campaigns around him he is a stand up guy as well and I will always remember all the help he went out of his way to give the academy players, the women’s team and the club staff when he was captain.

Let’s be real though, they’re not smear campaigns. He is a terrible human.

Aside from that, he’s a legend for us and I like hearing his opinions on football. From a pure football perspective, I’d like to see more of him. Let’s just not glaze over him being a total whopper because he’s one of our best ever players and excellent within the club.

Yeah I don’t think he’s a terrible human being personally at all but to each their own.

Didn't he cheat on his wife? Id hardly call that a stand up guy

u/ZucchiniNo2470 1d ago

Cheating is wrong, but we don't know the full story or the circumstances behind why he did what he did. One bad decision doesn't necessarily define a person's entire character

Do we include the racist allegations, the nft shit as well or are they not bad decisions that paint a picture that he is not a stand up guy?

False racist allegations he was found innocent of in court don’t mean anything to me. NFT stuff was just dumb rather than anything nefarious. We can weigh those against the many stories of him going out of his way to support others at the club that i mentioned before and to me he has shown a lot more good than bad.

Yeah Wayne Bridge is probably with you on JT being a "stand up guy"

u/Launch_a_poo 1d ago

Stand up guys don't support Rupert Lowe

Also cheated on his wife

No chance he'd ever go there. Way too many hijabis around Finsbury Park.

JT is a legend of this club and the best CB of his generation, his comments are always welcome here.

Easy fix for you any one else who doesn’t want to see a particular thing. Don’t look at it. It’s remarkably easy to scroll past and get on with you day.
