I suspect the key here is in "young French talent", by that i suspect you mean the likes of Clichy, Alliadiere and whoever else I can't remember, because if you are talking anything else, you need to go see a doctor and check your mental health bruh.
No I'm saying that I think there comes a tipping point where you have too many French players in your squad. Maybe you all have short memories but 10 years ago this was a talking point not just among pundits but fans as well. Arsenal were brittle and there was a clear correlation and everyone could see it.
I'm not saying every French player is weak minded, lazy and stroppy - but guess what for every Vieira or Sagna that we've had, we've had a Clichy, Cygan, Gallas, Giroud, Nasri, Anelka, Diaby.. the list goes on and on and on

It’s like saying all Armenians must be shit at football cos Mkhitaryan is from there
It would be a fair and reasonable assumption considering he is widely aknowlaged as Armenia's greatest ever player

Wenger played just as many black players as he did during his successful years. The only difference was they just weren’t very good.
Eboue
Djourou
Denilson
Adebayor
Gervinho
Diaby
Gallas
Clichy
Song
Hoyte
Silvestre
Traore
Coquelin
Frimpong
Joel Campbell
Sanogo

Eboue was a brilliant RB, so not sure why you included him in your list of not very good black players. Wenger experimented and f***ked up his career, playing him as a RM. No way Eboue was a bad RB.

He was one of the biggest divers we've ever had and was seriously embarrassing at times when on the pitch and rolling around like he got shot. I still like the guy because of his infectious attitude, but he was normally an embarrassment when he played. I know that won't sit well with some, but he was far from a good player.
