"The players' age is irrelevant : I choose the players who in my opinion are the best ones for the next match, whatever their nationality or age. We' ll face problems when the likes of Dixon, Winterburn, Adams and Keown will no longer be good enough to play at the higher level.
Five years are needed to rebuild our youth system. I don' t wish to gamble loads of money year in year out on established players. I want to maintain the club' s identity at Arsenal and foreign players must add something to the club. Pennant, Aliadière, Volz, Galli, Noble and the current U-17 team are the best in the country. They will play for me when they are 20, maybe not all of them, but some of them.
Dennis is still suffering of a slight calf injury and will need to play 4 or 5 games before being fully fit" so he told to last week France Football
And he also reaffirmed MO11' s contract ends in 4 years and that nobody ever made approach for him. |
