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.
