I really don’t think it makes that much of a difference. It’s a poor excuse. We were rubbish when there were hardly any foreign players in the league and academies so I don’t see how going back will move us forward. If Jack Wilshere, Ox, Theo and Gibbs can come through our system and hold down a first team spot at Arsenal when competition is rife, then it shows they’re picked on skill and merit instead of passports. Iron sharpens iron. Ashley Cole is one the best left backs in the world because of who he trained with week in week out. One of the best in the world….not just England.

Also, if quality English players actually existed, they’d find their way to the top regardless of who’s in the academies or first team. Every club is looking for the next young prospect on the cheap and you also have to question why none of the other leagues are looking to poach players from our league? Very harsh to say Wenger has done nothing for English football. Besides the players I’ve mentioned, the building of the Emirates and championing of youth development should be enough to inspire clubs to adopt our approach as a blueprint.

If you were running a top-level football club, then why wouldn't you want a team/squad made up of a majority of home-grown, local players? If the quality was there, then it would represent the easiest, cheapest way of putting a side together, with the best guarantee that your players will get on with each other/ will all be trained to play the same style of football / will be used to the particular challenges of your league / will have no problems getting used to the country, the culture and the weather / will be a massive PR win with the national media and press, etc. Plus, there'd be a never-ending conveyor-belt of talent, so you wouldn't just be looking at a one-off good side. There's almost nothing but upsides, and very few downsides, so the fact that clubs aren't currently doing it should tell you that there's a problem there (i.e. the quality simply isn't good enough at this point). IMO, the FA need top trust the clubs' judgment on this - they're the best QA they're ever going to have when it comes to home-grown player development, and when the quality starts to improve, then the numbers will naturally start going up by themselves, without the need for any interference...

Barca!

Yep, I agree.

"Outrageous" as Wishere's comments are, at least it's sparked some debate about the state of the national team.

The country at grass roots level is so far behind our European counterparts it's untrue, and until someone within the stuffy arrogant walls at the FA addresses that, we will forever be a team that plays 80's football.

The press, and the FA still believe we are in the top tier of World football. Until that arrogance is done away with, we'll never move on.

Wenger et al have bought technique and quality to the very elite, but that doesn't do anything for young coaches sending 8 year olds out on a Saturday morning.

In short. Jack :bow:

I suppose he has helped illustrate the FA's hypocrisy and stupidity.

First they blast clubs for not giving English talent a chance, then they spin around and try to recruit a kid who is clearly here for professional reasons and is in no sense English.
And they expect the english talent not to feel pissed off.

How do you then tell the ox, zaha or barkley to work hard and compete for a cap when they usher in januhatesjazz at the drop of a hat?

Why would we want to talk about the state of the English game? It's very boring plus it's got nothing to do with Arsenal.

Would rather talk about Ghelshire and his ridiculous antics tbh, what will he do next?

If Ox, Zaha and whoever else aren’t better players than Januzaj and can’t get in the team then it’s too bad. There is a reason why Almunia and Arteta haven’t been drafted into the England set up. Even if they wanted to and were eligible, they’re not good enough to get into the team. Like every other player, you have to work hard to get into the team and it’s not as if Januzaj has been fast tracked. He’d still have to perform and earn a cap. He still has to choose who he wants to play for and considering the controversy caused by the suggestion, I wouldn’t be surprised if he chose to play for Belgium.

Who cares if the England team is shit. This isn't club football, it's international football. It's a tournament made for the best players of each nation to compete against each other. Signing foreigners wont improve England at all, it will just mask over how average we are.

Taking advantage of the naturalisation rules just seems pathetic to me. I don't care if other countries do it. If we want to improve do it at the grass roots.

:haha:

Shit me. Did you see jack on MOTD!?!? What an embarassment to club and country.

Cringeworthy.

That's what I'd call it.

Concentrate on your game Jack. Stop doing these interviews that you're told to do.

Disgusting.

You need some new material son, could be old age I guess making you repeat yourself every 2 minutes, or more likely could be too much alcohol.

Thought Jack was pretty good yesterday. He just needs an injury free season to re-gain his form. At the top level if you're not quite right physically then your form suffers dramatically.

What did he say? :coffee:

He played well yesterday - that shot where he managed to find the post was incredible given the angle and how it was covered by Boruc. He worked hard throughout. The one criticism is that he went down to easily a couple of times. I think he is paying the price for this, because he got absolutely clattered outside the edge of the Southampton area in the first half - I heard the smack of the impact from my seat (seven rows back to the right of the edge of the Southampton technical area) and nothing got given. That could have been Clattenburg being consistently bad in his calls, but it could also have been to do with Jack's rep for going down too easily.

It is one aspect of his game that I would love to see eradicated. He has a low centre of gravity and has bulked up - he'll find that he will get far more success staying on his feet rather than trying to win a free kick.

The boy is starting to show up again. Last two matches (Besiktas and for England) have seemed more like Wilshere. He's getting away from his man a bit better, and generally speedier in his release of the ball.

He'll come good this year if he stays fit.

:scarf:

Yeah I think he is starting to get back to the Jack we know. I think Jack has been given a really rough ride by the media, of course he did himself no favours getting caught smoking, but the scrutiny regarding his performances is a little bit off considering he missed almost a year and a half of football.

He does need to step up and cement a place in both the Arsenal and England team this season, I think he will achieve both if he stays fit and performs at the level we know he can.

I also thought he looked good for England last week, moved the ball quickly and accurately. Its fashionable in the media to criticise Jack though, therefore when he does play well it's not really acknowledged. Glad he had a pop back at Redknapp recently.

It's happening to Oxlade now.

A kid who had more than half a season out, played well when he came back for a few games, got injured again, was England's most promising player in the pre-World Cup games, got injured again, played a few games for his club at the beginning of a new season and had an average 60 minutes or so in his first game back for England (playing no worse than most of the below-average team).

But his entire future is now questioned on the basis of that 60 minutes. And Hodgson replaces him with a more defensive player.

I don't necessarily think this is an anti-Arsenal thing, it's just a moronic media/pundits/fans thing.

Sterling will have a dip in form over the next few months and they'll question his attitude, whether he's washed up and his fathering of 7 children. And there will be calls for Adam Johnson or Milner to replace him. Which Hodgson will agree with.

The fuckwits who populate the football community really make it hard to enjoy or even tolerate at times.

Ox was great in the last game. Constantly running, assured on the ball and linked up well with the real front man - as opposed to that outrageous fraud Rooney who (as expected) did absolutely fuck all in and England shirt again, but got the plaudits, again.

Those fat cunts who call themselves journalists know fuck all about football except where the bar is at every club. That's what they do, drink piss and write shit.

Football365 are probably losing readership to Goal.com:

http://www.football365.com/faves/946...g-Into-Nothing

Someone should commission his 'Arsenal have won nothing for NINE years' and 'Martina Navratilova is a lesbian' articles next.

He's started to recapture his form, having surprisingly lost it due to being out with injury for half his life. So the media has to work a lot harder to maintain the current plot line.

Ozil anonymous, stealing a living, flop, waste of money. This one has run and run and even has some of the Arsenal fans loving it. But the "Ozil buying off coppers to prevent investigation" twist was a little much, I think his character tailed off after that. But he'll always have the moment after that thrashing of Brazil on the biggest stage when he grabbed the headlines for being useless and undeserving of his place. Right up there as one of the very best moments.

Rooney MOTM, always. The timeless classic is stronger than ever. Misses his two chances while another player scores two in what will probably be the most crucial game of the qualifiers? MOTM. Everyone is so comfortable with the character after so much time, this is the one unchanging role around which the whole drama pivots.

Wilshere - a wasted talent, the opposite of Rooney. Has started to take the badly missed Gazza role and make it his own. Boozing, smoking, playing for the wrong club, a villain in the making. His script has the potential to go anywhere, huge potential in this role.

Gerrard. Stevie Me. The Daddy. Even his calamitous, title losing and qualification trashing screw-ups can't stop us loving him. Yes he has a reduced role now but there's still plenty of mileage in a comeback plot, will he or won't he? Stevie Me - your country needs you! I'm picturing the scene, maybe a cliffhanger end of season finale, lip quivering as the prospect of further humiliation battles the call of duty - will he, won't he? Bloody heroic! Bloody British (minus the Scots).

bang on, it's nauseating. media=cunts mc2

Last three games, he's showed great attitude. He's been quicker, sharper and played some lovely football with it.

We just need the pundits to catch up. He needs about another 10 games, and that will be the point at which "wilshere turns corner". Probably after bagging a goal or two. Fuck the rest of the matches where he played well....it'll be the match where he does nothing and shins a couple in...then they'll call him great.

Then after a season of playing well, Wilshere haters will suddenly declare how he's improved, and is really playing much better.

No longer care about what position he's playing in, his performances or what criticism/praise he gets. Most people are idiotic. At the moment he's going through his longest spell of games without getting injured. As long as that continues, everything else sorts itself out. Good thing is Wenger seems to be on top of it.

Didn't work for Welbeck did it? Hopefully his core strength is improving so he doesn't get shoved off the ball so easily...that and he's not made to be our DM

Wheelchair has fractured his leg.

So he manages to play most of the season but now probably won't be fit for us next year.

You can't make this shit up. :lol:

This boy is damaged goods, if we can get anything close to 20mill then we should ship him out ASAP.

£20m?

If we can get that....great.

If not, who cares? He is of no use at all to us and could potentially eat up a roster space.

Such an old thread (and same old story) I scanned up and thought Syn and IT were back posting.

Nope, it's just us still.
