if you call offering 3million for a player who left for 19million 'interested'

By repeatedly being proven wrong? Unusual approach you have there.  :lol:

Thought it was well known that Wenger bid for Carrick, the inaccuracy with the Sun was the figure, £1.5m not £3m.  Pompey bid £3m and Wenger lost interest at that price.  Spurs bid £2.75m which was accepted when Carrick said he would not move to Pompey.

 

Going back to the original subject, the number of former Arsenal Academy players who successfully earn a living in the premiership with other clubs surely is testimony to their ability to find young (mainly English) talent and nurture it through the development phase.  The fact that most are released to prosper elsewhere is because they fall just short of the high standards required for the club, not because they are not good enough for the premiership.  I have the greatest admiration of the way their Academy is run, without question, the best in England imho.

That's right, never any enquiry while Carrick was at Spurs other than ManU.

 

Persistent rumours that NRC has been lined up for a move to the scum in the summer.  Whether that materialises now that Curbs is there imho is doubtful.

Aye, and you've been wrong all along.

According to Carrick, note the use of the word 'interested'.  :lol:

 

so you've been looking all this time and you still can't find a quote from Wenger  :lol:

No, both those were on the first page on Google.

Seems you were wrong about Reo-Coker too.

You're doing well in this thread like. Keep going.

 

how was i wrong? if you read what i said and then look for quotes you will see i am right on both occasions,

 

go on find quotes

But he was interested in signing him, even if he didn't utter those exact words. I'm more inclined to believe the Independent and Michael Carrick than I am you.

 

fair enough, you believe newspapers

 

Where do you get your info from again?

That's the first time you've stated that you were only referring to his time at Spurs in this thread though. Changing your story after the event tbh. As for not believing newspapers, who do you claim to work for again?  tongue.gif :lol:

Why? No one else mentioned that apart from you and only after you'd been proven wrong.

I did tbh, unless being interested in signing a player is in some way different to wanting to sign a player. Which it clearly isn't.

I think the exaggerated fees British players command is the biggest obstacle to clubs buying them. Nowt else. Any good young player in this country goes for manic prices. Micah Richards will cost you more than Gallas, a world-class experienced defender. Lower the prices and teams like Arsenal will feature more British players.
