da bet7k: Arsene Wenger said something very apt a few months back about the media and their seemingly unquenchable thirst tout the top Premier League players away from this country with their continued reports. The Frenchman certainly makes a valid point and while the vermin from Fleet Street will never change, you have to question why the FA and PL have failed to intervene themselves and look to take action against the associations of other countries, in this instance Spain, and demand that Football’s governing bodies take action against the actions of the association’s members. Manchester United suffered at the hands of Real Madrid last summer, while Arsenal continues to face a daily bombardment from Barcelona.
da imperador bet: While we all know that the FA are renowned for turning a blind eye to confrontation, it would certainly make a refreshing change to see them show they have some substance and look to intervene here for the sake of its members. They could gain some real credibility here among clubs and supporters alike by making a real stand and subsequently ensuring that our top Premier League players remain in England.
It is scandalous in truth and Arsenal is falling victim to same shameless touting that United endured on a daily basis for months with Cristiano Ronaldo. In truth United didn’t have the majority of the Real team and management staff passing comment on the situation, like the Gunners are currently facing, but none the less they watched as their best player had his head turned and subsequently got his move. I know Arsenal is intent on making their own stand against Barcelona by rejecting all approaches, but you do sense the damage has already been done. Fabregas will arguably continue to show professionalism if any such move isn’t granted and he remains in North London, but does Arsenal really want a player whose heart is perhaps elsewhere?
It is shocking what is going on and even more so that nobody is intervening to safeguard the integrity of the game. The FA owe it to its members to protect them in light of what has is clearly pure provocation. How many more of the Premier League’s best players will have to leave before somebody in Soho Square scratches their head and wonders why the standards have suddenly dropped and we no longer possess the most competitive league in the world and subsequently the most marketable? There is a huge amount at stake and that is why the likes of the PL and FA need to pull their fingers out and fight fire with fire.
