New York Red Fools
Arsenal have sparked controversy across the pond after claims they sent an imposter back to New York in what’s being seen as a desperate attempt to keep hold of Thierry Henry.
Red Bulls sporting director Erik Soler told the New York Times: “A gentleman showed up for training on Friday with what was clearly a felt tip beard drawn on his face. We were speechless.
“Whoever drew it couldn’t even keep between the lines.
“After we gave the guy a good wash it became apparent we were sent Theo Walcott instead.”
When asked what they were planning to do Soler raged: “Theo is clearly a nice kid but he looked terrified. He was just going around the training ground repeatedly mumbling ‘va va voom’. We’ve sent him back to London with a strongly worded letter. It’s outrageous.”
Arsene Wenger is now resigned to receiving the unwanted Theorry back at the Emirates over the next couple of days.
