Then maybe I am anti football. What good is it if every player wants to play for those teams?? I don’t believe that for a second though. Like I said…ever here Ryan Giggs say he wanted to play for Barca?? What about Scholes?? We are missing these types of players. The only ones we have are Van Persie and Vermaelen. Song isn’t in the same class as Giggs or Scholes or even Gerrard or Carragher or Terry or Lampard. He will be though if he sticks with Arsenal. I want more players like that. It IS possible. I think it is. They are out there to be found. I wouldn’t want to play for Barca. Would you?? I wouldn’t want to play for Real Madrid either. I am a football fan and I appreciate the great history these two clubs have, but I love Arsenal the most. I’m sure there are thousands of young boys out in the world, who are much better football players than me, who would give there all to play for Arsenal. I don’t know how it would be possible to evaluate them all, but there should be a question that all the players who come to Arsenal should be required to answer. Why do you want to play for Arsenal?? Is it for a selfish reason like wanting to make the national team?? Is it to further your own career?? Or is it because this is the only place you want to be?? The players who answer with that type of response should be given priority over the others. If there are one or two oustanding, and I mean outstanding talents, then MAYBE you can consider condensing them with the rest. This is how I would do it. I know it will never happen but that is what I would do. You have to be able to trust your players and not worry about who might be leaving in a few years and who might be staying. And by leaving, I don’t mean retiring.

Milo…you dont get what I am saying. We would not have a team. Most players would jump at the chance to join Barca or Real Madrid. Even Man united players. Even Juventus players. It doesnt matter, they are the top of the food chain. As long as you give your all for this club while you are here, you cant ask for much more. The fact is tho that they greatest players in the world will most likely end up playing for Barca or Real at some point.

Who actually wants to play for Arsenal?

Bring in boys who`s dream it is to play for Arsenal. Seek and ye shall find I think is how the saying goes. If they are reasonably talented, they will make it and be successful. And it doesn`t matter where they are from either. There are Arsenal fans all over the world. And believe it or not, some of them actually play Football. Imagine that. Shane sometimes you piss me off no end. If you don`t love the club then you can`t play for it simple as that. I don`t know how you can disagree or say otherwise. It wil never actually be this way, but it doesn`t prevent me from being frustrated about it. Call me old fashioned, idealistic, or whatever, but this is the way it should be, and I think at least one Knight of the British kingdom would agree with me. The majority of players at the club he is a part of would as well. I`ll leave it to you to figure out who I am speaking of. And don`t say I`m anti-Wenger. I`m not, I`m just using this knight as a successful practitioner of my ethos.

Shane, I still strongly disagree. Either you love the club or you don`t. It`s as simple as that. You can`t split your committment or priorities or your alliance between Arsenal and another club. Or any club. If you are not good enough to make it at the club you love, then no matter what, if you are in DIRECT competition with them, you will still feel a bit of a detachment from the club you are playing for. It isn`t complicated, it`s human nature. I still think that if Fabregas really wants to stay, then he should just say that he isn`t going to Barcalona. But you know that he can`t say that because he will always doubt his decision if he decided to not return to Barca. So he will go. You can`t have players like that in your team. You can`t.

Milo…. I got a news flash for you. We would probally not have a full team if Wenger followed your rant. I would say 85 percent of players in the worlds dream is to play for either Barca or Real Madrid. You have to accept that. Cruyff loved Ajax but still moved to Barca. Henry loved Arsenal and Wenger but is at Barca now. I doubt there is a player that wouldnt want to join those 2 clubs. They are at the top of the food chain and the most prestigious clubs there are. This is just reality. I which brings to Fabregas, I actually find it amazing how long he has stayed here and seems to want to stay even with Barca being his boyhood club and the things I stated above not to mention they are the most dominate team in the world right now. @ champs league titles in 4 years, are undefeated this year in the spanish league, won 6 trophies last year, have players like Messi,Ibrahimovic and Iniesta. Hell the more I type the more I respect Fabregas for staying here and helping with Wengers dream to turn us into that type of club. Most other players in his shoes would have jumped ship by now. I also find it messed up when Mannn Utd fans complain about Ronaldo. He stayed there 5 years won 2 titles , a champs league trophy, finished runner up 1 year, won the world player of the year. What more do you want.

I retract what I said about Faregas. But I don’t take back anything else I said. I have great admiration for Arsene Wenger, no exceptions. Don’t you feel the same though?? I want players who wouldn’t ever want to play anywhere other than Arsenal, and to me it looks like that might not necessarily be the case. I don’t want a player who religeously folloher club. Or a player who gloats in front of the team or insults our fans and players after a loss to a rival. Or any team for that matter. It only makes sense. I would strongly question the staff if they didn’t at least talk to Ansah about what he has done. He will have a LONG< LONG way to go now for me to believe in him, regardless of his talent. Don't you want players who will fight to exaustion for the club?? We deffinately have SOME, but not all of the layers are willing to display that type of commitment. That's the case, at least in my estimation. Tell me if you think I'm nuts.
