Park Chu-Young (Out)

The more likely rumour is we bought Park as a back up for around 2-3m and agreed to pay £5m more if his military service was waved, which we believed wouldn't happen. Park actually already had the military service waved and didn't let us know, meaning we paid 5m more. Wenger felt betrayed and condemned Park to the reserves killing his career.

The other possibility is, he was simply a back up for our other targets we missed out on. We supposedly bid for Jovetic on the last day of the window and had the offer rejected. And having only 2 strikers we needed Park as a back up as RVP was particularly injury prone.

I thought we matched Lille's offer, which was enough for Monaco, and then Park was like F- this I'm going to Arsenal and ran away to us.

He was available for 2m and was considered to be a very good bargain in France
Wenger took the chance and it didnt work

This guy played for 8 minutes. That's not giving someone a chance, far from it. If he was so **** he couldn't even do anything in training, then the scout that recommended him should be sacked. I bet it's the same guy that scouted Gervinho.

Wenger watched Ligue One as well mate, has contact inside Monaco he knew the player he was buying.
I dont know why Park never got a chance at Arsenal it could be physically he wasn't up to it or something else but it didnt work out and hopefully his contract will be terminated soon

I thought we bought him because Lille sold Hazard to Chelsea and not us?

And that was our punishment to them- by stealing their replacement

Makes sense to me

I thought Wenger wanted to buy an actual Park for the under 6's, but Grimandi got Chu Young and we couldn't back out of the deal?

You need to check the dates of the two transfers :).
