The problem with players nowadays is that they have not got a ounce of loyalty.

Hes 25 and wants to play at the highest level and win trophies, i dont think you can blame him.

....and why exactly should he be loyal to Spurs? Were the Spurs fans bitching and crying about loyalty when he wanted to progress his career by leaving Dinamo Zagreb for them?

When your next offered a better job with better pay are you going to reject it just out of loyalty?

I really wish people would get over the simple, obvious, inevitable fact that players transfer to and from clubs. This Modric situation isn't even a controversial case.

Strangely, I do actually agree with you here.

Unless you gain all your players from an in-house academy from youth, every club is guilty of obtaining most of their team from so-called "disloyal" players.

Transferring to your arch-enemy is an exception to getting angry because your player has been sold

Newcastle have signed another frenchman

- Sylvain Marveaux (completed)
- Demba Ba (Completed)
- Cabaye (Completed)

Possibles

- Melvut Erding
- Gervinho
- Neil Taylor

Not a bad midfield come next season.

--Marveaux---Tiote----Cabaye----Ben Arfa---

Erding or Gervinho up front alongside Demba Ba.

Top 10 finish surely. Lets see if the 'Arsenal' approach pays off.

Gervinho is not going to Newcastle, even if the Arsenal deal falls though.

What really irritates supporters is that players declare their loving loyalty and kiss the badge for their club and also sign a new contract and then 2 or 3 months later change their tone totally and then say they want to leave the club.

Whats that then? Boring people to death? Playing 64,228 passes between each defender? Getting all the way to opponents 18 yard box...and passing?

No, I was referring to Arsenal's transfer policy and squad. Build young and develop rather than spend a stupid amount of money on a few players that could fail to justify a price tag, Note that one of our players that came through the academy was sold for a British transfer record.

Chris Hughton and Villas-boas set to be managers in the premierleague later today.

Villas-Chelsea
Hughton-Birmingham.

Only one of them are in the premier league.
