That is exactly what I was going to post.

In other words, that kid that never really made it to the World Cup along with Who?, Who?, Who?, Who?, Who?, Who? and Who?. Arsenal may have to get purchasing next season or just hope that they won't need to use their full squad.
Oh, I know some of those:
Hoyte went on loan to Sunderland last season, just like Anthony Le Tallec - what more can you say on the situation?
Ryan Smith was on loan at Leicester, and in the couple of games I went to see he wasn't especially good. Christ, when Stephen Warnock went on loan to Coventry he was their player of the season.
Kerrea Gilbert scored sometime last season, but he only came into the side because of their insane amount of defensive injuries...before promptly getting injured himself.

Basically, the vast majority of them are going to get sold to the likes of Colchester without being given much of a chance in the first team (except in the League Cup) along with their young foreign imports like Lupoli and Larsson.

This is why PES5 is my god. You get to learn all about the reserves of teams you don't particularly care about.

Still, I can understand why Arsenal and other teams have less English players these days, when the likes of Curtis Davies are being quoted at costing £10m. What a joke.

Oh, and, it's Tottenham Hotspur, not Hotspurs.

Apparently Liverpool are chasing David Trezeguet. I'm not convinced if this is such a great idea, because it could well be Fernando Morientes all over again. Still, in the Rafalution we trust, and if it's a loan rather than a permanent thing (Which would probably set us back £10m at the very least) then I won't be too displeased.
