So many French Players.. too many.. no offence to anyone just wanted to say,

I've observed it as well. Eight French players is clearly not a small amount. Also, one of the French new-signings at Newcastle, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, recently stated the following:

"The fact that there are so many French players here means Newcastle was on television back home far more than any other team. Newcastle has always attracted French players."

Kind of reminds me of the the Arsenal of the early 2000's

@Vendetta: I was just about to say...

Then again, that French generation was a little better than this one.

I would like to see many of them in United.

@Lodatz: No arguing with that. The past French generation is waaaaaay better than this French generation.

I got an idea after u posted that, i check Premier League teams and count the English players here are the results:
Arsenal = total 5 (LOWEST)
Aston Villa = total 13
Chelsea = total 8
Everton = total 8
Fulham = total 4
Liverpool = total 17
Manchester City = total 9
Manchester United = total 13
Newcastle United = total 11
Norwich City = total 23
Queens Park Rangers  = total 13
Reading = total 16
Southampton = total 26 (HIGHEST)
Stoke City = total 12
Sunderland = total 11
Swansea City = total 11
Tottenham Hotspur = total 17
West Bromwich Albion = total 13
West Ham United = total 20
Wigan Athletic = total 7
this list is list including all English players in Premier League teams with players on loan, There are not count players which are playing for academy. (hope there's no mistake, source:wiki)

I'm surprised by Liverpool. Though I suppose a long time has passed since Benitez.
