Very much agree with the type of player you guys are mentioning. All very true.
But having english players goes beyond the type of guys they are, it's a separate issue . Think about the culture and indentity of a team. What kind of a situation would it be if everybody was speaking different languages? Not to mention teams should be promoting English football and ensuring we have good players for the future. How the fuck does training tonnes of spanish and french kids benefit ENGLISH football? Especially since they eventually all fuck off to Barcalona etc? Not to mention the wages involved are usually immense.
I'm not saying avoid foreign players, quite the opposite. We need foreign players with different techniques and mindsets to our home grown ones because it compliments what we have.
Arsenal fail because their squad has no foundation, nothing solid to build on. Their entire club is just up in the air. Yeah they can play beautiful football on the right day but you need more than that. What is their team built around? Emulating Barcalona? Thats always going to ensure your team is second best. Take Barca as an example, amazing team. No denial there, it's a Spanish team built around Spanish players and it works.
Now I know you're all going to disagree with me. But I am right in what I'm saying.
Teams should be built around homegrown players. End of story. And I don't think Arsenal have that, not in the slightest. Regardless of the handful of English guys they have.
They utterly lack unity. I hate Arsenal anyway.
the arsenal team have to speak english at the club and on the pitch, apparently at Arsene's order. built around homegrown players? bollocks. playing with the most talented players in europe does nothing for english kids in the team? bollocks. emulating barca (successfully emulating mind) will lead to being second best only? bollocks.
a long bollocky post basically.
