England's No 1 (would you want these people in your team)
English players like Bothroyd, Pennant caused nothing but problems at Arsenal, moaning they were never given a chance in the first team. Hardly knocking on the England door now are they even when the resources are gossamer thin?
Then there's players Wenger has released:
Taylor (Villa reserve), Sidwell (Chelsea reserve)Harper (Reading), Bentley (Blackburn), Halls (Stoke?), Noble (?)
They have hardly covered themselves in glory have they?
Lets look at Spurs and their 'policy' of buying young English talent:
Bent (HAHA), Jenas, Lennon, Robinson, Defoe, Dawson, Huddlestone, Routledge...only Robinson has been an England regular and don't you wish he had't?
And then we have the English players talent for ASBO behaviour:
Ferdinand, Barton, Hughes, Bowyer, Dyer, Pennant, Terry
And finally Manchester United and their policy of paying top whack for the best talent. No wonder Fergie is gloating about this being his best ever quad. Throw in the foreigners and it is also the most expensive so it should be good.
Rooney, Rio, Hargreaves, Carrick, not everyone has 94 million in loose change!
Paper talk last week had Villa's Agbonlahor valued at 15 million!!! Give me van Persie at 20 % of that any day.
English players are overhyped, overpaid. No wonder Arsene doesn't bother with them ...
Tellingly no one wants them in Europe either.
