As long as they have an Arsenal badge on...I dont care. He gave Ashley Cole his career...and look how Cole repays us...by wanting to go to Chelsea. As for Henry, he is one of the top 5 players in the world...he can walk into any club...he knows he can get paid more at other clubs...but he is still our most faithful player.
I was refering 2 ur Academy. It costs nothing to have an Academy full of home grown talent yet at Arsenal it is full of players who have been snapped up from overseas.
I agree that the market in this country for English players is inflated.
As i have stated b4, Wenger is a very shread person when it comes to buying overseas players and turning them into world class players.
