At least six Bayern players, who have won almost everything, are in the national squad.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.
You need to have a big squad; it's important when you're in the Champions League, with the amount of games we've got.
Many American players - Paul Caligiuri, Claudio Reyna, Eric Wynalda, Kasey Keller, Tony Sanneh, Michael Bradley and Steve Cherundolo, just a partial list - have sought the income and challenge of Germany.
Bayern want a decade of success like Barca. That's OK if you have the money because it increases the possibility of success. But it's not guaranteed.
We need the whole squad, every player of the team, if we are to be successful.
At the moment there are some England players who are the stars of their club teams, but not for their country. It's difficult to explain.
A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.
You want the best players to be on form come the Euros.
I knew before I came to Arsenal what kind of players were here. And of course, in training, you can see how many good players are here; the most important thing is that we work well as a team - that's the most important thing.
I have never had any contact with Bayern Munich, let alone have agreed personal terms.
