Well, you do have a point there and yes, wenger's re-building is
taking sharp really well but somehow or rather i feel Arsenal just
can't keep their star players long enough... Perhaps its because
the club is perceive to lack the prestige thats why other clubs
thinks they can come around and raid its squad.
Since the days of Nicolas Anelka, they seem to lose their star
player almost every year... Marc Overmars, Emmanuel Petit, Sylvain
Wiltord, Edu, Ashley Cole, José Antonio Reyes... all these players
made a name for themselves at Arsenal but left them when they
became well-known... Maybe a Chelsea, a Real Madrid or a Barcelona
would come picking Wenger's best players away. It has become almost
like a every year event. Even their current captain almost left for
Barcelona too if you can recall.
And i won't be too surprise if they lose Francesc Fàbregas, Robin
van Persie, Emmanuel Adebayor... in the next few years cos
contracts are not really full-prove these days.
The only player that stayed back without ever considering leaving
was Dennis Bergkamp.
