    Song, Walcott, Fabregas, Clichy, Wilshere, Oxlade....all the building blocks of a very good team and pretty good return from the youth policy.

    the problem being that they were not supplemented with others good enough to help push them on as they did at utd who had keane, schmeichel, bruce, irwin etc.

    that's where wenger got it wrong. the idea was right and the young players were there but he doesn't possess the tools to mould together a team that introduced them in the right way.

    Pretty much mate. Per-ritty much.

    Strange. For all the bollocks about money and stuff...all Wenger needed to do, was buy two players in the January transfer window, the year Eduardo broke his leg. We would have won the league had he spent decent money on a top draw striker, and a quality CB. The knock on effect of that end to the season fucked the whole thing.

    it's a flaw in his character not knowing when and how to build upon success that is already in his hands, which is why we never retained the title under him. fergie knows that you go out and make the most of pole position and bring in even better players to improve weaknesses when you win, and keep the players on their toes and hungry. nothing is ever perfect, things can always be improved.

    i don't know if it is arrogance, lack of insight or he just has too much belief in those who do well under him but either way his record sheet would be completely different if he knew when to buy. which is strange given his decent record of knowing when a player is done.

    I guess it depends what you class as a youth policy, some of those hardly came through our youth ranks, they were bought from other clubs very late on into their development.

    The 10 year plan for me was about bringing players right through the ranks, like Wilshere, not poaching them from other clubs when they have been brought up by them.
