We've been going at it with this youth project for years now and we haven't produced much. We have a whole generation of youth players that were touted as hot prospects and never made it under Wenger. Walcott is actually one of the better ones.
A load of playere go out on loan and never come back. This youth project has been a failure. If Wenger gets the credit for producing good players, he also gets the blame for the bad ones. We're not talking about some Pennant type of player either. This kid is happy and willing to learn. And I hate to say it, under Harry, he might have been a better player. He looked dangerous at Southampton.
