Why would we want English players

Our entire 5 man midfield cost less than SWP, does that some up why we dont buy english players.
 
Most English players wouldn't be good enough to play in the current squad anyway!!!!!

And because there is such a small pool of top quality proven english players, if we had any of them the arguement would be directed back at some other team. We cant all have them can we? NZgooner2007-12-18 15:05:22

your absolutley right, if you put the entire england squad into a team in the premier leagu, they would finish about 10th, if you put spain, italy or france, holland, germany, maybe portugal & Czech teams in there they would be the top 7,

Quite right,the previous English youngsters coming through have not been up to the Arsenal standard.
The current ones seem to be at a differnet level however.Liam Brady has said the current youngsters coming through include quite a few Englishmen who have been coached the Arsenal way.  
 
Arsenal has produced plenty of talent for the rest of the Premier League (Sidwell,Bentley,Larrson,Anelka,Penant,Upson to name  few) just not quite up to the Arsenal standard.
 
Then theres the English players who have been at Arsenal,they have hardly shown they were up to it and prove to be a lot less disciplined than the other Arsenal players.
-Penant
-Bentley
-C*nt. (By the way has anyone said what a C*nt he is)

Yes it was King Kolo. I reckon his best bit of business is possibly buying Anelka for 500k and selling him a couple years later for 23 mil and he turned to sh*te straight after!!

Reyes was good..for one game against Ch*lski,what a debut.

All went downhill from when he had the sh*t kicked out of him by gary neville at old trafford. 
 
Is there really any English players good enough for the Arsenal? Rooney might get a spot on the bench

He'd be the only one. He could be our RvP back-up for when he's inevitably injured for half of the season.

(Sorry Robin, really I like you).

On the Dinamo Zagreb boards there's lot of talk of Wenger looking to sign Ognjen Vukojevic - anyone here heard/read anything about that?

Thats a massive result from the kids, to get up despite playing with 10 men, against a full strength Blackburn team.
 
Very pleased.

"Are you tottenham in disguise?"
What an effort today,the youth team up against the ropes after letting a 2 goal lead slip then having a man sent off,manages to find a winner in extra time and hold on.
 
Not one player who played today will start on the weekend,so all the lads will be fresh as well.
Will hopfully be a turning point for Eduardo as he comes up to the 6 month settling in period.
 
C*nt and Ch*ski in the semis and Sp*rs in the the final anyone??

Could be the only silverware they have an eye on so perhaps... haha. Those two derby matches would be a great semi. Anyway, that was an insane game and I was only using gamecast!! 10 kids take down the rovers, what a win! got a block on streaming any vids here at work unfortunately, cant wait to see the goals. I hear Song played a great ball for Eddys 2nd?
