Soccer expert?

This is in reference to Piero Ronci's letter published in The Jakarta Post on July 14, 1995.

1) "Platt joins Arsenal." Correct.

2) "Gascoigne returns to Arsenal." Wrong. He joined Glasgow Rangers and by the way he never played for Arsenal.

3) No European team (especially Italian) wanted Cantona." Wrong. Inter Milan made a multi-million dollar offer.

How does the Paul Ince transfer to Inter Milan ($US11 million) fit into your argument (or didn't Milan consult you first?).

Notwithstanding the above, I'd like to congratulate you on your April 4 predictions as one out of three is better than your usual accuracy. Keep up the good work.
