Those in bold are players who have played less than 3 full seasons for the club. It's a very large proportion!! Is it a concern that there aren't many players who play long-term for Arsenal? Whereas Man Utd have had Giggs, Scholes, Rio, Rooney etc. who have been there for years now, Arsenal seem to have a consistently high turnover of players. Is this affecting the ability to compete? Is an unsettled squad an issue in your opinion?
