There's a note saying that Reyes and Van Persie shouldn't be added to this list because they are too recent. Given that this note was written last season, I feel that these players should be added now in line with the appropriate timeframe. Change made, although further comments welcome.

24.141.180.28 ( talk • contribs) has been converting lists of famous players to be grouped by nationality rather than by when they played for the club. I think it should be left as it is - ordering by time is consistent with the List of Arsenal F.C. players article (which this section summarises) and it's a much more logical way of organising players - there is very little that, say, Cliff Bastin and Ashley Cole have in common apart from being English; it's much more informative to group them with their contemporaries.

THIS is the annonymous user who has been switching the llist of famous players by nationality. The Reason Why I have switched is because to match every single OTHER G-14 Soccer country out there... Ive completed almost every list the same way, and to have Arsenal by the Time they played RATHER then have people show what nationality they are is just ridiculous... you can look up in their profiles for when they played —The preceding

Exactly who is this " Miguel Sallinger"? Rdd446 keeps editing him in!-- ARSNL 00:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Of course. Anytime. After all this is the Arsenal page we're talking about! :) ARSNL 16:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Can we not just change it to Famous FORMER players? I think this could solve the problem of current favourites being added.

Thanks to this page people are adding linkspam to their favourite fan forum here. As the
external linking policy discourages such links could people keep an eye out for it and remove it if it is re-added? Ta.

There was no confirmation that the deal had gone through by the end of deadline day, so I've reverted the edit adding Gallas and removing Cole him from the squad. If anyone can provide a reference for the Cole/Gallas deal being done, I'll happily revert. Tpth 00:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Is Baptista a loan or a permanent move because according to Arsenal.com, he has signed on an undisclosed fee. [5] arsenalwwerulz 11:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Here's some substance to back up the alleged loan: According to this article from the Premiership official website it states Reyes is on a season long loan... here's the link: [13]
...and here is another I found on the Yahoo! UK sport page, this one is talking about Baptista's desire to stay longer... [14]
...here is one that talks about Reyes being on loan, or his 'dream Madrid move'... [15]
I haven't seen a single article on the Arsenal Official Club site that really even mentions Reyes... Odd. Ryecatcher773
Yes, having read the articles I do see your point and I actually had already thought it was odd for there to be fees involved. However, in light of all that we've been hearing from the club for a while now with -- most of which was in regards to Reyes not moving -- I am unsure of what to believe the actual case is, mainly for two reasons: first, there is the ongoing saga of Reyes wanting to go back to Spain, which has gone on for a long time now. There have been a lot of quotes from this media source and that media source over the past year confirming that a transfer is forthcoming, and then all these so-called facts seem to end up being denied by both Wenger and Reyes when the Englis media asks for confirmation. The second reason is that I am not sure why there hasn't been a definite statement made about it on the Arsenal website. The report on the Premiership site says it, as are other reputable news sources, yet Arsenal's own press room hasn't come out to either confirm that these reports are accurate or to set the record straight if they aren't. That leads me to wonder if the club is trying to keep the details low key for some particular reason -- perhaps they aren't sure what will happen just yet. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Whatever actually has happened, I think we all look forward to seeing the move fruitful and a good start would be a positive result on the pitch tomorrow. Ryecatcher773
The mysterious fee must be what they paid for keeping Baptista... I reckon that would explain it. Ryecatcher773
OK, lets collect the various sources:

Those that say permanent transfer:

Arsenal offical website first team squad numbers
Just wanted to repost the fact that Gallas has been given the number 10 shirt as there have been a lot of people editing the page to award him number 3. Xobxela 08:52, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
I've created an article for Terry Anderson (footballer). If anyone has any information regarding the time he spent with Arsenal in the sixties, please feel free to add it. Thanks! User:Demonicanglian 17:32, September 20, 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't sure where to put this but this seemed like the most appropriate place. Would http://www.thegoonerforum.moonfruit.com be considered a linkspam? If so what would we need to do to make sure it wouldn't be considered link spam. Cheers —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.229.242.88 ( talk • contribs) 15:11, October 10, 2006 (UTC).
Well we've just added a history of the club. If we have news can it be considered. And how can I approve the squad photos —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.229.242.86 ( talk • contribs) 19:51, October 25, 2006 (UTC).
The introduction includes the text "the most blatantly sh@! team in the world" which doesn't appear in edit mode. Have never attempted to edit a page before but seems odd that that this text, which is clearly an undesirable defacing of the article, cannot be edited out. Anyone out there have the means to do this, Dougal.
Can someone please edit out the graffiti "SARAH IS MAD CUTE" That has replaced some of the flags? -- trescolacion 15:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I notice that in the article it reads "Arsenal have", "Arsenal were", etc, using the plural forms of the verbs. Now, as the club constitutes a single entity, shouldn't it read "has", "was", etc., instead, using singular? Even as a football club, it's still only one club, and the only way to have plurals would be talking about Arsenal as its players, which the article rarely does. Am I missing something? MSJapan 15:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Deleted this sentence from the "Colours" section:
the socks varied in colour but were most often black or dark grey.
The site referenced only has one color photo (and a re-colored one at that), in which the socks are clearly dark blue (compare with the black shoes they're wearing). [22] The remainder of the photos are black and white, which might appear "black or dark grey" but is hardly evidence. In addition, the club's website in another place references blue and white hooped socks, so there is a precedent for the blue color. [23] I'm changing the reference to reflect this. -- Chancemichaels 19:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels
Is it worth mentioning that Rotherham are anotehr club to share the shirt colours of red torso with white sleeves? I'd be fascinated to know whether our shirts or those of the Millers came first. Incidentally, we played them in the League Cup in 2003 and that was the first ever penalty shootout witnessed at Highbury, remarkably, as well (Score was something crazy like 13-12...check..., Wiltord took two, but missed his first one and both keepers scored against each other).
