Van Nistelrooy only plays for money? I'm sorry, last time I checked he plays because he wants to play, hence the whole uproar about him not starting in the last three games. Don't go around saying things unless you know it's true. That always bugs me. That would be like me saying that Lampard or Henry only plays for money - why would I unless I knew it were true? They both enjoy scoring goals more than anything, last I checked. Yes, money is involved, but you show me a superstar who would rather play for their home side for £30,000 a year than play for a major side for millions.

I do have a problem with Arsenal having such an overload of foreign players - not because it's an excuse to rip at them but because it defeats the purpose of being an English club. Why not move every one of them to France if they're not going to field any English players at all in their starting XI? Seriously, there is a point to it being the English Premiership. Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool all manage just find to field a lot of English players, let alone Tottenham and co, and they can do well. If Arsenal wants to spend big bucks, tell them to spend big bucks on English players.

I agree that a limit would be nice. 3-4 English players in every starting lineup would work. Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool would all be fine. Arsenal would have, what two players (when they are in full health) they could field? Cole and Campbell is all they have, I think.
