What if Arsenal never left Highbury? If Blackburn Signed Zidane
-
- Sport
If Blackburn Signed Zidane explores football’s greatest ‘what if’ moments and dives into the multiverse to put things right on the timeline. In episode ten, Specs & Tego are joined by fellow filthy fella Dazza, to ask the question: what if Arsenal never left Highbury? When Arsenal moved to their new stadium the Emirates, the club entered a period of financial constraint and essentially became a selling club, losing a number of key players to help pay off the stadium’s cost. But what if Arsenal had never moved to the Emirates, stayed at Highbury and instead put their money into the team instead from 2004 onwards? Would Patrick Vieira be sold? Does Thierry Henry still leave for Barcelona? Would Arsene Wenger spend more in the transfer market or continue investing in youth? As always Specs has all the answers inside the world of his imagination.
Host: Specs Gonzalez
Co-host: Tego Sigel
