    Are we unlucky with player loyalty?

    When Juventus got relegated in 2005, several world class players including Buffon,David Trezeguet, Del Piero stayed despite the prospect of 2 years without Champions League football and one season in Serie B. Tottenham hotspur were able to keep gareth bale despite 2 seasons of no champions league and were able to keep a hold of Luka modric for 1 season without CL football. Whereas for Arsenal no player seems really loyal nowadays at our club, Nasri left as soon as he got good, as did RVP and Alex Song went, it seems that no player seems attached to Arsenal FC anymore, players don't seem to love the club enough to stay, is it because we have the players with the wrong type of loyalty in their personality? Personally I'm happy we signed Podolski because he is a loyal player and played for Koln even though they weren't that great a team (it was his home club though) But I think Carloza will force a move in the future.

    Players are not Loyal and have not been for a long time. Our manager and a few fans are naive to think Loyalty still exists in the game.

    Would not say these players or Bale are Loyal, think these lot settled in juve and saw no reason to move on to a place where they'd be squad players.

    Bale will go if spurs don't get cl footie he is no more loyal then modric.

    Totti rejected a move to real madrid in his prime to stay with Roma, Trezeguet, buffon and del peiro would never have been squad players if they left, a lot of the rangers squad has shown loyalty despite relegation of 3 divisions

    I think we've had our hands burnt too many times now for it to just be down to bad luck.

    We've got to shoulder some of the blame as well.
