Major Isewater Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I was just wondering how the hell we didn't turn a modest profit on the our super ' punt '. Arnie Garita. We paid 50,000 quid for him and he impressed at Plymouth. I would have thought that for at least double that we could have sold him on to a League 2 or 1 club . I then checked to see where he was today and the news , I'm afraid dear friends , is not brilliant. Arnie signed for Belgian league side Charleroi with a view to loaning him out to an even lower league side Dunkerque ( that's the spirit ! ) . He has played six matches so far , well done Arnie , and scored , well he hasn't scored yet but there is still time. I've heard Arnie called a cult , no that's not misspelled , and it's fair to say that many of us found him an engaging character. I really hoped he would come through for us but not getting a chance and ,possibly , also not being very good it never happened. I wish the young man well . We won't forget Arnie !

Davefevs Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Cult hero in my mind. The DC Dogs tweet because he didn’t understand the lingo earned him that status. Plus I love the photo I took of him at West Brom when he first joined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 As someone who has always been a huge Arnie Schwarzenegger fan and probably watched at least 6 films of his every week until the age of 15, I can't tell you how much I wanted our own Arnie to succeed. It seems too late now, but Hasta La Vista, Arnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 When Steve Cotterill made a punt it was £50K. When Lee Johnson does it’s £1.6M. Hope he makes it in Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Sub v Premier League WBA, sub v Man U and played v Liverpool at Anfield. I expect Dunkerque season ticket sales went through the roof when he signed on loan. (I expect some of his shots have hit the roof since, but not of the net.)

WhistleHappy Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Reminds me of the Tamworth Two... were these the lesser known Hawthorns Three ? Had he and the other two done a runner from some kind of crazy zoo farm ? How long did it take the bloke with the big net to re-capture 'em all ? ** we won't forget Arnie? ….. why, did he drive a pretty nippy milk-cart in a vest or something then ?
