We have good young english talent. Walcott & Hoyte who are in the 1st squad are in the U21s and in our academy players, some play for U20, 19s and so on. If we were to buy Agbonlahor it would be our 3rd english player who would actually be in our 1st squad and he also plays in the U21s but 1 thing about buying English players is that the cost is ridiculous. I mean i would pay around 6-10 mil for him not 15 - 20 mil! I would also welcome Agbonlahor to the squad. We have good young english talent.

In fact the side that did the double (85/6) had their last league game at Chelsea to win the championship with not one English player. Scots, Irish dominated with Welsh, Zimbabwean and Australian making up the numbers. Sorry Le Gunner but the Liverpool side in the 80′s was British but in the main, not English.

In the eighties Liverpool kicked ass domestically and in Europe. Almost their entire squad was British English and yet England didn't win anything. Everyone is picking on Wenger for not fielding English players. Do you honestly believe if Wenger had a good English player would let him go? People keep saying look at Bentley and Sidwell as if they are setting the world on fire. In my opinion they are not good enough to play for Arsenal. It would be nice to see English players at Arsenal But for Wenger Arsenal is the priority. The England squad is good. Coaches and Managers are tactically naïve. For the last 20 years I can name only one good English manager that managed England and that is Bobby Robson. He came close to winning something the rest are crap. Latest rumours is that Adriano is coming to Arsenal. I think he should stay in Brazil and dance the Samba with the ladies. We have a good spirit in the team why bring in a party animal and disrupt the whole thing. And the other is Agbonlahor of A.Villa which I would welcome. He is powerful, has a lots of pace and works his socks off the only problem is the price A.Villa will be asking for £20 million and this is another problem when you try to buy English.

It's the middle-tier players that Wenger does so well at, because he can get a foreign player for a fraction of the cost of an English player and turn them into something special. “If you take FAB4, Hleb, Rosicky, Kolo, Clichy, Sagna and RvP, the rest are not so special.”

I mean if Gerrard and Lampard can't play together, restricting overseas players will do nothing but upset fans and maybe even lose some. Personally if it does happen, i will still be a gooner but i will be very upset dissappointed.

They just say it as if it's something that doesn't need to be proven. Anyone who argues for quotas should be required to establish the correlation and prove it. And they're totally immnue to logic, such as the obvious facts: * England did not set the world on fire in int'l comeptition before the rise of foreign players in the domestic league * Countries in Eastern Europe and elsewhere have domestic leagues overwhelmingly dominated by local talent and yet do not have stellar records in int'l competitions * If these foreign players were predominantly Scots, Welsh, Irish, Canadian, Australians and New Zealanders this issue would never come up. If Wenger fielded a first team made up of 1 Englishman and 10 men of the above nationalities, he'd never be blamed for the failures of the English national team. I don't see the Spanish or Portuguese blaiming foreign players for their failures.

Agbonlahor/Ashley Young are better than Eboue in the same position. Micah Richards/Stephen Taylor are better than Senderos, Djourou and Song as CB; so is not a bad idea if we have some English players especially for the defence. There are so many French players to seem like the Arsenal has become the French nursery team. Arsene should soften up and get some locals in. This is an English club and it should reflect same. Some of the foreign player are not really exceptional. If you take FAB4, Hleb, Rosicky, Kolo, Clichy, Sagna and RvP, the rest are not so special.

It made me realize how many long range efforts we've had this season. Our goals from midfield and goals from outside the box is the biggest difference offensively for us this season. Last year we couldn't finish to save our lives, remember how many times we hit the post last yr. I remember cesc in particular away to bolton blasted 1 off the post from 20yrds out, woulda put us at 2-1...but no..we go and lose to Anelka offside by a mile goal. anyway, great video...keep shooting gunners! Great video!
