Those players went on to be even better footballers (in most cases) but Wenger came in at a time when they were thinking of retiring or leaving top level due to their age. What a load of cock, I'm 100 percent sure that if Wenger had a better player to play in any of the positions the other night it wouldn't have mattered if he was English or Saudi Arabian he'd have played him. Football is a universal game and players hould be free to play wherever they want. Their are so many factors to this but it shouldn't even have came up in the first place, probably some bored Brit tabloid with no big scoop who latched onto it and decided to kick up a storm, how many times have Arsenal been playing with just Cole or only Campbell? Where was the outrage then, have we been blind from this all this time. The foreigners that are there love the club and not only that they play spectacular football that is a joy to watch. Without them the EPL wouldn't be what it is at all and now all these brit mongs are moaning about there being "no" English players. Get a life, just because the majority of English players can't hack it when it comes to competing with their more naturally talented and technical neighbors.

gunnerglory said:Just what i mean. What a moaner. If English players were good enough they'd be more of them on the teams, its as simple as that. You are the same guy who'll shout this for England and English players and then go round a few days later roaring like a lunatic at Henry or vanNistlerooy or whatever foreigner happens to be at the club of your fancy. I'm not doubting the fact that English players are extremely talented but there's good and then there's good enough, this issue shouldn't have came up cause its retarded. If you don't want them you can send a few over here if you want to the MLS so I don't have to be an armchair supporter as you've figured me out to be there Sherlock.
Japanese law is probably the exception to that rule...Pikkon said:As solid as the ideals behind each side of this argument may be, you are all missing a very important factor when it comes to restricting where a professional sportsman can ply his trade, the law. Most courts around the world will uphold a challenge to such a restriction, based on trade practice law and competition legislation, especially in the UK, whose laws are actually quite similar to our own here in Oz. Cases such as Bosman have made it very difficult to enforce the kind of labour controls necessary for this sort of idea to work. Especially in the "global game".
