And what about this paranoia about Barça tapping up your players? I've read this statement several times from Arsenal supporters and I've always found it amusing. So a club who is interested in a player, then talks with the club that owns the rights of the player and then reaches an agreement with the said club is punishable. Go talk with Platini. XD<br /><br />We could also moan because you got Fabregas some years ago when he was only 16 and was already one of our best prospects, and you got him almost for free. But c'est la vie, he's yours because we couldn't legally do anything about it.<br /><br />What's the problem in wanting players? So Zenit should be angry because you got Arshavin? No, it goes like this: Arshavin wants to leave and the best club available for him is Arsenal, and Zenit finally sells him because they know they can't do anything about it. The same goes for Henry or Hleb. There's no problem.<br /><br />Barça's always signed players, ususally from weaker clubs because those players want to reach higher levels. I know the problem you have, Wrighty: envy. Barça is a bigger club, so most footballers prefer going to Barça and not otherwise. I know, it hurts, as it did losing the CL final three years ago.<br /><br />Anyway, I think Arsenal usually plays the best football in Europe along with Barça, but usually with more unexperienced players. It's the way the club wants it, maybe because they prefer selling players when they reach the top level so they can get benefit and rebuild the team again and again. Vieira and Henry come to mind, for example.<br /><br />Bye<br /><br />- Vacilinha -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-58880639895202851112009-04-11T22:13:00.000+01:002009-04-11T22:13:00.000+01:00I hope you all know that Fabregas was born a blaug...I hope you all know that Fabregas was born a blaugrana and loves fcb and also...

I'm assum...Cheers Wrighty, glad you appreciated it! <BR/><BR/>I'm assuming that the last post was from whoever I've been having this converstaion with and it means he won't be coming back, but in case you do I'll just make a quick response. I'm afraid I'll kind of be going back over old ground here but the fact is Arsenal cannot afford to buy English players like United can. For example:<BR/>Ferdinand- £30 million<BR/>Toure- £250,000<BR/><BR/>Carrick- £18 million<BR/>Fabregas- £1 million<BR/><BR/>Rooney- undisclosed, but nearing £30 million again<BR/>van Persie- £2.5 million<BR/><BR/>In February it was estimated using all available figures what each Premier League club's squad cost, United's was £180 million, ours was £65 million. We just couldn't afford to fill our squad with English players while we have huge stadium debt to cope with. And I'm sure every Arsenal fan would love to see a local boy come through the ranks and take us to great things but the sad fact is the players simply aren't there. It would have been great if Steven Gerrard had grown up in Islington but unfortunately he didn't and that's not the club's fault, they can only work with what they've got. <BR/><BR/>And you can't simply say that the quality would "bounce back" after a while if you got rid of all the foreign players. It's something you can never know and frankly, I'd say is very unlikely. It's an unpalatable truth for many people but (for many reasons, some of which I covered briefly in my last post) England just doesn't seem to produce players of the same quality as elsewhere. For decades since 1966 our club sides were full of British players and our national team was no closer to winning anything than it is now.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, at the recent u17 World Cup I think I'm right in saying that Arsenal provided the England team with more players than any other club.<BR/><BR/>And finally, just a minor side point, but we last won the league in 2004, which wasn't more than 6 years ago!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-12052955658379777282009-04-10T23:01:00.000+01:002009-04-10T23:01:00.000+01:00And on that note, I will exit this site in search ...And on that note, I will exit this site in search of something more worthy.

There must be a blend of english players with foreign imports. The Italians do it with great success. <BR/>AC Milan won the Champions League recently with:<BR/>6 Italian players in the starting 11<BR/>Porto won the Champions League with over 7 Portuguese players in the starting 11 in 2004 and they have as many in the current team and are knocking on the door of the semi's in the same competition.<BR/>Stop with the excuses--Wenger has effectively convinced arsenal fans that the only way forward is with the best player even if it's at the expense of english players.

Technically our players are badly lacking except those born with an exceptional natural talent like Rooney and Gazza. This is also partly down to the structure of our game at youth level. <BR/><BR/>In Brazil many kids are simply left to learn the game on the streets (I know the 'street child kicking a grapefruit' scenario is a stereotype and players such as Kaka prove that it's a generalisation not a rule, but it is frequently accurate). At 10, 11, 12 they're just kicking something about, learning what be done by just playing with a ball. This is where their technical ability flourishes, and only later is harnessed by structured matches. Equivalent aged children in our country are forced into Sunday league clubs where parents scream at them to "get stuck in" and they pick up all the wrong aspects of the game.<BR/><BR/>Even in more 'developed' countries than Brazil where players are put into organised academies from a young age, they encourage the technical side of learning far more than we do. More than that, they have specific coaches who make a career out of training certain age groups, not coaches who see the under 11s as a stepping stone.<BR/><BR/>Another point that could be worth considering is that we have 4 professional leagues, no other makor football country in the world has more than 2. We have nearly 100,000 registered clubs in the country, over double that of Germany, the next highest. We have so many spaces to fill that competition is reduced and inferior players are not only allowed into the system but actually needed. The whole set up of English football is a breeding ground for mediocrity, and having less foreign players at the very top end of our spectrum is not going to change that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-35895234876092536712009-04-10T19:43:00.000+01:002009-04-10T19:43:00.000+01:00Now we have elevated the discussion to something o...Now we have elevated the discussion to something of some interest.<BR/>Why in the hell do you think that it is always Germany-Italy-Brazil-Argentina that win the World Cup and please don't use the population theory as that doesn't apply in the case of Holland (even smaller then England-yet they are always threatening).<BR/>Why--because their players always have a major stage on which to grow.<BR/>Brazil export players by the truck loads and their leagues just keep generating more<BR/>Argentina export players by the bus loads and their leagues keep producing more<BR/>The Italian top teams always have at least 5 Italian starters and they keep producing more<BR/>German export players by the bike load and their leagues just keep generating more<BR/>The Dutch export players by the car loads and their leagues keep producing more<BR/>The English leagues import players by the plane loads and their leagues produce little.<BR/>Oh I'm sorry--they produce players for lower division teams.<BR/>Get it!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731298363130971399.post-73669078049438337782009-04-10T19:20:00.000+01:002009-04-10T19:20:00.000+01:00Ahhhh, the old "too many foreigners is ruining the...Ahhhh, the old "too many foreigners is ruining the England team argument". And you call me myopic! Please enlighten me as to how exactly Fabregas and Adebayor being sent home would mean another Wayne Rooney suddenly pops out of the woodwork? If there was a player coming through the Arsenal academy as good as Rooney he'd be in the team. There isn't though. There are plenty of players in the League who have come through our youth system but have been sold because they're substandard, or cunts. Why would the England team be better of if players like Sidwell and cas*ley were playing for Arsenal still? All it would achieve would be to reduce the quality of our club.<BR/><BR/>The quality of foreigner means that only the very best English players have a chance of making it (Theo, Jack Wilshere), and those that do will actually become BETTER players for having a higher quality of olayer around them.<BR/><BR/>So please, take your accusations of myopia and have a little look in the mirror. You can applaud British managers like Sam Allardyce and his British players all you want, but encouraging medicority will not win England a World Cup.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
