Bell'articolo... una domanda che deve far ripetere...
Tutti a chiedere misure contro il razzismo e poi in contrasto in squadra si
vogliono meno stranieri...(che e' una forma di razzismo verso gli altri
dalla nazionalita' diversa....).
MANIA ARTICLES - We, Arsenal Football Club, get enough stick as it is (eg:
being called French) with our French manager and numerous players from
across the channel. If you believed all the rubbish you heard in the media
you'd be surprised to hear that last night was the first time in our history
that we didn't include a single Englishman in our 16-man squad.
Why all the fuss? I thought FIFA and that lot were trying to bring down
racism in football. It seems rather hypocritical of them to be accusing fans
of such things while they themselves are working on introducing a limit on
how many foreign players you can include in your squad.
Is that their answer perhaps? Get rid of the foreigners and there'll be no
one to hurl racist abuse at? Because the way I see it, the big and powerful
anti-racist people in world football are now encouraging managers to pick
players because of their nationality, rather than their ability.
It seems the people up there aren't quite right in the head.
Again - why all the fuss? Firstly, the only reason there were no Englishmen
in our squad last night was, incase anyone forgot, actually because the two
who are always guaranteed a place in the lineup were out with injury.
More importantly though, and I'm not in any way having a go at English
players, but in recent years under Wenger we have not had the greatest
success with our English signings. Overpriced Richard Wright and in
particular, Francis Jeffers are now struggling for a place in the starting
lineups of Everton and Charlton.
They are the most famous of big flops here at Highbury. Mostly because they
failed to live up to their transfer fees and that is the problem when you
buy players from the same league, particularly if they are young and
excirting prospects for the country's national side. They will cost a lot
more money than they are worth. We signed Franny Jeffers for something
around 10 million pounds and such was his severe lack of any kind of impact,
we had to sell him for only 3 million.
That is the risk you take with these hyped up English talents. They are
English so the media in this country will inevitably hype them up as future
England stars, and indeed it is like this all over the world. Occasionally
you get some who won't live up to the hype or will let it get to their heads
and then you're in trouble.
Jermaine Pennant and Matthew Upson were other English talents that everyone
was looking forward to. This was, again, largely down to the fact that they
were English. They simply weren't good enough, and in Pennant's case - the
attitude was all wrong. They are now reunited at a struggling Birmingham
City side.
As I said earlier - nothing against English players, but I think Wenger's
cautiousness with signing them is understandable. Manchester United had to
pay nearly 30 million pounds for the over hyped Wayne Rooney. Indeed he is
talented, but had he been French or come from another league he would
probably cost half of that. We at Arsenal just don't seem to have that kind
of money.
This is why I think it would be difficult to sign Manchester City's exciting
winger Shaun Wright-Phillips. City would charge something ridiculous for
him, while there are probably more talented and cheaper options available
around the world.
It would not be right if we were forced to make signings like this, out of
our financial reach, just because of some bright idea UEFA had one day. They
were probably bored.
