How?

After a series of questioned titles, here's another one.

In the past week, the news of Chelsea's transfer ban for "stealing" Kakuta has been hogging the headlines. This has led to THREE teams of the big FOUR of the English Premier League come under some scrutiny or the other for some youngster or the other.

Surprisingly, the THREE teams among the big FOUR which is under scrutiny does not include Arsenal.

Arsenal - the club that has specialized itself in transfers of kids, has not come under scrutiny yet.

Arsenal - The club that does not even want to consider signing someone whose age is more than 21, has not come under scrutiny yet.

Arsenal-The club which every kid wants to play for, has not come under scrutiny yet.

How?

Leave those kids alone...

Every once in a while, you read about this kid being the next Zidane and another kid being the next Ronaldo. After a few months, you hear some other kid being called the next Zidane. I dont know who this is an insult to. Zidane or the poor kids.

Lets get this straight. There is only one Zinedine Zidane. Just as there is only one Ronaldo. Are you doing justice to Zidane's career by calling some 13 yr old kid your successor? No offense to the kid, but look at what Zidane's achieved. And look at what the kid's achieved.

Can you imagine the hype a 13 yr old gets when he is publicly announced as the "next Zinedine Zidane"? How many next Zinedine Zidanes have actually gone on to become a Zinedine Zidane?

Being called the next Zidane, is it a boon or a pain? Its left for you to debate.

Moreover, I thought Zidane's kid was the next Zidane.
