Arsenal’s British core – touted as the way forward for the club in the final years of Arsène Wenger’s tenure and beyond, but a notion that has met much criticism, especially this season. With the Premier League clamping down and requiring clubs to have a certain amount of homegrown players on the books in the first-team, many clubs have been struggling to find British players that are of the standard required for their respective levels. The simple question; are Arsenal’s good enough, and if not, where does the club go from here?
This is not meant to be a doom and gloom piece, rather a survey of what we have, what they have done, where we hope they’ll be down the road and if they aren’t good enough, what course of action should we take…so away we go (and I apologize…this is far longer than I intended it to be).
