The problem they are having is they produce good quality youngsters who will eventually be good, but in the time they produce say a cesc fabregas, they have lost a world class striker or defender, so it becomes a big long circle of, 2 good amazing players, then lose 2 good amazing players etcetc. | ||

Wenger is known as Arsenals coach and 1-2 bad seasons won't change anything. He has players like Mertesacker and Poldi who are even too bad to make the nationalteam anymore. fabregas is no a-teamer in Spain himself So is fabregas bad too? | ||

Arsenal are actually the ones doing it right and I applaud them for it. In Germany (and also in Holland) teams aren't allowed, or it's not their policy, to have huge debt. Football would take a huge step forward if every club doesn't just buy all their players but actually uses their youth academy. It sickens me when 16-18 year old players get lured in by clubs like Manchester City/Chelsea with a big contract with of course the aid of their agents who also get a pretty penny. What happens is that they don't play for 3 years or whatever which considerably halts their progression. They should just stay with their club to make sure they get playing time. Thankfully clubs like mine (Ajax) can keep their most promising talents most of the time for a couple years. Sad thing is they still get bought away when they are 21/22. Christian Eriksen for example is 20 right now and he will probably get bought by some club at the end of the season. They've been gunning for him since 2 years ago and now that he finally becomes somewhat consistent, he feels he is ready 'for the next step'. If only players like that stay on for about 4 years more, then a club like Ajax could actually be a contender in the CL. Same thing with Arsenal. | ||

Arsenal could do what i stated and still not have a debt, they make a decent profit every year. They didn't have to sell RVP, and they only got 20million for him anyway. What happens is players "want" to leave because they get offered a chance to win trophies now not in 2-3 seasons time. Like im pretty confident RVP will win a peice of silverware this season with Man Utd (most likely the premiership title) and Fabregas won the Champions League in his first season at Barca right? If they could of signed Podolski and Metersacker in the summer they were "about" to lose Fabregas (and still had RVP who was about to score 30goals in 30games) they probably would of won the league or won something pretty easily that season (or maybe the next) and right now they would still have good players and a very good squad. | ||

Actually he was a starter in the last European Championships ahead of Torres/Llorente...etc. He was pretty good in that false 9 role and made telling contribution. He also played key part in both Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010 and helped Spain lift both trophies. Either you know this and you're just trolling, or you're just ignorant. | ||

Their B-Team is better than 98% of all other nationalteams and Fabregas is not like Mertesacker or Podolski not even close ot making the team. And Fabregas even plays most of the time. Mertesacker and Poldi are just terrible, Fabregas isn't LOL :p | ||

I find it funny how its easy to be so obviously uninformed and ignorant but still have an opinion about something. Fabregas aside from his atrocious dip around spring last year has been really good. On current form hes Barca's second best midfielder after Iniesta, yes hes playing better than Xavi + Show Spoiler + (hey has to happen sometime) I think playing him 9 is retarded though, even for Spain. | ||
