wasn't a problem when we were winning trophies from what i recall.Notice how Wenger never points out the root cause of the problems in football, which is the "big bang" liberalisation that took place in the early 90s.
this is no right or wrong answer anymore. the wheels have long been set in motion decades ago, so there will be winners and losers. as long as we remain in the former category then thats all that matters.
