Look at this old donkey, most of these players came in very young. Arsenal had a very big hand in their development. Cesc wasnt in Barca's plan when Wenger brought him over to England. Now they are having verbal haemorage because they want him back.

Almunia, Osasuna Came to Arsenal at 27 years of age
Sagna, Auxerre Came to Arsenal as a 24 year old
Clichy, Cannes Came to Arsenal as an 18year old after 15 caps for Cannes
Gallas, Caen/Marseille Came to Arsenal as a 29 year old
Vermalaen, Ajax Came to Arsenal as a 23 year old
Cesc, Barcelona Came to Arsenal at 16 after being crowned the best player at Under 17 level
Diaby, PSG/Auxerre Came to Arsenal as a 20 year old
Song, Bastia Came to Arsenal as a 19 year old after 2 full seasons with Bastia
Arshavin Zenit Came to Arsenal as a 29year old
Van persie, Feyenoord Came to Arsenal as a 21 year old after being crowned Dutch football talent of the year 3 years earlier
Bendtner Arsenal Arsenal bred.

So only 4 of the starting 11 came to Arsenal under 20, Song and Clichy were already played first team football in the previous clubs So how can someone who has already played senior team football be discovered at Arsenal?

I am sure in some years we can also claim Arsenal discovered Gallas and Arshavin.

@dayo , where are the Aliaderes ? Matthew Upsons ? Jermaine Pennants ? David Bentleys ? Ashley Coles ? Need i go on ?
The players I've mentioned are better known round the world than, and i confidently say this, 95% of the players in Bundesliga.

Aliediere - Middlesboro Division 2
Upson - West Ham Lower half team in the EPL
Pennant - Zaragoza bottom half team of La liga, Infact newly promoted team
Bentley - Tottenham
Ashley Cole - Chelsea Truly world class.

Being known around the world means nothing in football, David Beckham is more know around the world than Zidane and Kaka added together

Thanks for last night.

@okunoba,

Some people when they dont have any point to make just resort to insults.

@ezeagu,
When the coup plotters were planning the killing of Sardauna, Balewa, Akintola and Okotie Eboh, they should have killed Azikwe or the Eastern region premier too. But they chose the path of tribalism and that got us where we are today.

Does that make any sense to you?

Those stats show how Italian teams fared vs German teams last season and shows the steady decline in the standard of the Serie A

Find below a list of Arsenal regular players and their youth clubs.
Almunia, Osasuna
Sagna, Auxerre
Clichy, Cannes
Gallas, Caen/Marseille
Vermalaen, Ajax
Cesc, Barcelona
Diaby, PSG/Auxerre
Song, Bastia
Arshavin Zenit
Van persie, Feyenoord
Bendtner Arsenal

Only one came from the legendary Arsenal academy.

The question is Arsene has been claiming to be developing players since 2005, WHere are these players being developed into the main team

Why are people whose name are Alao so wicked?. Arisekola Alao is the meanest dwarf from west Africa. I don't know why God still kept him alive.

So he can marry you as his 16th wife

^^ Because some people are not ready to take responsibility for their misdeeds, Starting a war, attacking other regions.

Yet everyone in this country is resposible for their sons in the army planning a coup to kill other regional leaders and sparing theirs

Bawomolo self needs to be mentored, Make you go Garfield or 87th and mentor in the hood.

We need medical Doctors and Professors as Cab drivers.

Oyo state is the most progressive state in Nigeria, where Taxi drivers need a PhD.

Ajisebi Oyo laari. Oyo na pacesetters true true

^^ Can you just bring out a point instead of showing how hollow you are.

History has it that the Yorubas always for a political party that they follow making them a bloc and not an appendage to the Hausa Fulani party.

Like Action group, Like UPN, they all joined SDP , later AD until the rigging machinery of the PDP took over.

Igbos allied with the NPC (NOTHERN peoples Congress) in the 1st republic.
In the 2nd, they allied with NPN and became second rate
3rd republic According to the June 12 election results released by Nwosu recently,

MKO Abiola won in Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Taraba, Yobe and the Federal Capital Territory. Tofa, according to Nwosu's result sheet, won in Abia, Adam-awa, Bauchi, Enugu, Imo, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Rivers and Sokoto States.

This result was released by an Igbo man Humphrey Nwosu and it shows where the allegiance of the South east lies
Of 4 Igbo states, 3 voted for the Hausa candidate.

Beaf

I think the 1990 coup was more of a minority coup a lot of middle belters were involved. Gideon Orkar was from Benue I think, Mukoro benin, Ogboru Delta

Rather its the other way round, Torres plays as the Big man upfront and Villa behind him.

The norm is to use the bigger guy, the Six foot plus guy as the guy upfront and the shorter guy with better running and nimble skills behind him.

It was due to his ineptitude at scoring for NT that makes Villa take the scoring gauntlet.

Like Rooney plays behind Heskey but scores more than heskey cos Heskey is just a waste of human flesh

Sorry guys but I had to do this

You think say e easy to get job at Ido? its easier to get a job at UN than at Iddo.

You sabi fight? cos thats one of the job requirement at Iddo. Then you go ready to pull shirt and bust bottle for people head

Aloy,

U better come clean make u no shame, I would help you "leg" am with Akala.
He might consider you too Just submit your resume but make sure you are a chartered accountant that would make the lobbying easier
You know say we dey recession or meltdown

What of PhD's for advanced driving positions.
I know a Harvard grad who might be interested
They would also do a backgroud check on applicants No fake certificates would be allowed.


Bawomolo, How the mentoring program dey go for South Chicago or na you dem dey mentor.

@Topic,

No2atheism believes Bust flew those jets and jumped out .

Rumsfeld flew the other and Cheney flew the 3rd plane that crashed in pennsylvania

Or Zik decided to become boy-boy for the North when Awo stood alone.

If Zik hadnt traded the South east for ceremonial presidency and his clansmen contented with being Vice presidents behind Hausas maybe things woulda been different.

Zik chose to queue as assistant behind Balewa When Awolowo stood alone
Ekwueme chose to queue as assistant behind Shagari While Awolowo had a Hausa VP
Sylvester Ugo chose to queue as assistant behind Bashir Tofa while MKO brought Kingibe under him
Okadigbo chose to queue as assistant to Buhari while OBJ took Atiku under him as VP

They say if you sell yourself for cheap (VP), you cant be taken seriously again

^^ It was so unfortunate that the Igbo officers who led the first coup chose the path of tribalism by killing other regional leaders and leaving the eastern leaders.

Its so unfortunate that Ironsi as head of state did not take decisive actions against coup plotters like Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu.

Its so unfortunate that Igbos in Northern Nigeria decided to make posters depicting Ironsi standing on the Head of Sardauna

Its so unfortunate the Biafra army decided to attack the South West before they were stopped at Ore.

Unfortunate unfortunate

WHat is the job requirement.

Do they take Second class Upper or is it just First class?

Must it only be Engineers or can Medical graduates apply too?.

What is the age requirement? How many years work experience is needed?

We need more information and he can also post it on Monster.com

Chickenshrimp,

So who be una mates? FC Zurich? or Bari? Bologna or Spaghetti?

As for your girls, simply find a football fan to date. Muki's free. . .and she already loves Yaya, so the Barca issue won't be a barrier.

What do you mean? Why not crizzle is free?

Depends on where he is playing. He led the lines at Kaiserslautern, Werder bremen with Klasnic and with the national team.

At Bayern he dropped behind Luca Toni who is the bigger threat physically

Klose is flexible he can play as a top striker and he has the off the ball skills and unselfishness to make him a good support striker

His records at Athletico Madrid and for the National team are very unimpressive

BTW,

There is a FIFA U21 tournament going on and we cant see any of those fabled product of Wengay academy.

Merida has been sent home since while Bayern youth team player Bjorn Kopplin has been burning the tournament

Yet no one screams about the Bayern academy but the Scam project of WenGAY which produced notable duds like Owusu-Abeyie, Arturo Lupoli, Jeremy Aliadiere and Justin Hoyte is being screamed about

Ok from the time he started as a professional footballer.

There is no denying that Torres was a failure outside England.

Robben is for the big games, Who needs Robben when you are playing Freiburg and co.

Watch out for Robbery vs Man Utd If the scummies make it that far.

Imagine Robben vs Evra, Ribery vs Oshea Osanobua!!!!!!

Tubabie,

Mo fe beere e pa ni, Mo ti fe lo ri baba Aiyelala ki won ba mi bi Osanyin leere.

^^ You are talking about 2007

In 2007, Ronaldinho was worth 200m Dollars. Today he is worth 200,000 Naira. Thats the difference 2 years can make.

I laugh in Swahili. . . . . .
So how did France win Euro 2000 with loaded EPL players?
Deschamps, Desailly, Henry, Petit, Lebouef

WHen everyone knows Zidane wiith 10 donkeys would win a trophy. Tell us how they fared post Zidane

Check their goal records in the last 10 seasons

Do the Maths. Forget the fact That Drogba started as a defender

Gilberto was schooled by the French midfield. Infact the loss can be adduced to Gilbertos presence.

Zidane schooled him so much he gave up. Henry scored what Zidane served him on a platter. If you erect a statue there the statue woulda scored that goal.

The greatest country in the world Brazils captain played in the Bundesliga till last June.
