    Whatever anyone says we waste a lot of money on these youth players as most of them require us to pay some compensation to the club they are leaving.

    the club hasnt got the patience of the fans or quality of players in the first team to accommodate youngsters these days. hence why they either a. turn out shit b. play well for a while before going awol.

    when you play with henry, bergkamp, vieira, you will nurture into a star.

    when you play with the likes of gervinho, diaby and giroud, you dont.

    The kid we just bought from Villa has the potential to be better than anyone currently in our youth teams.

    Yep.

    Unfortunately the club are doing a very good job at killing any passion and enthusiasm that most fans once had

    Most of the topics an conversations on here nowadays have the potential to endlessly repeat themselves from the last 8 years.

    I think he sells dodgy replica tops outside the emirates now.

    I'm still pretty upbeat about the youth teams, our Carling Cup team of a few years ago played some fantastic football. Our youth development has been pretty decent (if you get one first teamer every 5 years you're doing well), it's the established players that we've bought that have been very underwhelming at best and piss poor at worst.

    It's likely that this kid we bought from Villa will be better than any first teamers we buy this summer - because we wont buy any.
