does anybody knows an English AM who is youngish, world­ class and not worth the moon??? The problems with­ English players is that they are overrated and over­ priced

you stupid arsenal suppoters let that kid go a u nt­ ashamed of ur selves thats wat he want not u fans your­ job is to watch futbal not tellin smeone wat 2 do­ anyway u dnt play futbal barca 4 lyf

i wonder if arsene will make a move for joe harte why­ the aussie journey

Holy Mackekrel!!Listen as a Man United fan I am jealous­ if Gourcuff goes to Arsenal..I really hope not.. thats­ a classic signing for them. People still dont­ understand how great this guy Gourcuff is, especially­ since Chamaka has already signed, someone he obviously­ has chemistry with. Bordeux didnt do that well this­ year but the season before they were on fire because of­ those two being comfortable playing there. This time I­ think too much unrest in the club cost them the title.­ But hope Aresenal dont get him or he doesnt want to go­ there.. Would love to see him at Man United instead.

Why is eurosport not publishing my comments???????

Just to add my two penneth, two of the three most­ successful sides in the EPL over the last 20 years have­ always had a large contingent of British?Ire players­ Man U in particular, then when Arsenal were a real­ force, their whole back five were British/Ire, further­ back when Liverpool were all conquering they were­ pretty much all british/Ire! The first two names on­ Chelseas team sheet are Terry then Lampard. If the home­ grown player could replicate their club form at­ international level, we would be seeing 3 home teams at­ the world cup every time. There is a tremendous amount­ of home grown talent who are overlooked because club­ managers are from abroad. Look at the successful epl­ British/Ire managers teams and you will find that their­ teams are heavily laced with homegrown talent. Man U.­ Spurs, Villa. I am not against bringing in players from­ abroad as it enriches the league but there comes a­ point when a team fields a whole squad without any home­ based players in it how can you call it an English Prem­ team. I believe that you should have no more than 5­ players playing in the team who are not from the­ country they are playing in. That would benefit our­ youth who are being overlooked for cheaper imports and­ ultimately destabilising our game long term.

Liverpool selling their best player this season in­ Benayoun, he's stood out head and shoulders above­ the so called superstars at anfield, another glaring­ mistake from the fat chef 6million for him, but­ who's around to buy for 6 million to replace him,­ oh we got maxi ( rubbish).
It's true Benitez is a­ clown.

I hope Arsenal come good next season, I love watching­ the way they "attack from the back" every­ player has flair, the ball mostly stays on the grass,­ and the speed that they counter attack is amazing to­ watch....oh and im a manu fan by the way !!

Cesc should not go for less than £50 million IMO.­ Wenger has already got the ideal replacement at the­ club already in young Ramsey, why waste money on­ another midfielder, its a striker thats more of a­ priority.

I'd definetely put my money on it being a non­ English player. Maybe if Arsenal bought some home grown­ players they would make a difference.Its like a United­ Nations team nowadays. The Premiership has always been­ won by a team with a few homegrown players and maybe­ they should look into that.

dylon u replaced the whole of liverpool your no­ liverpool fan ur a disgrace to merseyside liverpool­ fans

Dylon TOTAL BU11 $H!tt

i have read all the comments. bring back the real­ footballers? who will play football and NOT­ moneyball.1971 will do me.

Fabregas saga with Barca is just the same as the one of­ C. Ronaldo with Real Madrid, every year there's­ speculations link him to go back to Barca and at the­ end he will do so!

What a load of @#$% this story is!

@ndanatsei k - comment 77 - you forgot arshavin, he is­ like the new zidane

I wouldn't loose sleep about Barca deluding­ themselves into thinking Fabregas will solve their­ problem against Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho. That­ being said, Gourcuff and Eden Hazard would only bring­ more flair and fire power to Arsenal i bet Barca would­ still peer and want either of these players catalan or­ not. Gourcuff is a cross between Fabregas and Van­ Persie, he will be better for us, he is taller and­ dribbles better than Fabregas, his set pieces are­ better, Fabregas has better vision and passing range,­ but he is weaker than Gourcuff in terms of strength and­ guile. Eden Hazard will easily draw 2-3 defenders­ opening up the game for v.Persie, Chamakh, Gourcuff,­ Nasri and Arshavin. With British bred defenders, we­ will be better off selling Fabregas. I hope we also­ have plans for Wilshere and Ramsey on the squad.
