I am getting increasingly fed up with Arsenal going on about their great young players and how in five years time or so they will be ruling English football. But, not including signings within that time, do you not think Chelsea have just as good, if not better players and team in 5 years time: Petr Cech - 29 yrs old Glen Johnson - 27 yrs old John Terry - 31 yrs old Khalid Boulahrouz - 30 yrs old Wayne Bridge/Ashley Cole - 30/31 yrs old Lassana Diarra - 26 yrs old John Obi Mikel - 24 yrs old Michael Essien - 29 yrs old Arjen Robben - 28 yrs old Salomon Kalou - 26 yrs old Joe Cole - 30 yrs old And providing they come through with the potential we've seen of them - Ben Sahar - 22 yrs old Scott Sinclair - 22 yrs old Michael Woods - 21 yrs old This is not to mention anyone we buy. Arsenal have got great kids but not all of them will come as good as you think they will. I can remember Senderos a couple of years ago tipped to be one of the world's leading defenders and he's a joke at the moment. At least most if not all of the first team players I have named have already made it and are sure of coming good. Arsenal need two big replacements for in a couple of years: Henry and Lehmann.
Still I think Arsenal will be the team to watch in 5 years time down in the premiership there young side is so talented. Im not taking nothing away from Chelsea here but Arsenal have the best young side in the country.
