Next time we are having a discussion about spending big, marqueee signings, world class players, players being too old or past it, taking punts on young talent and recognising the value of

Not exact matches
But I am getting off topic... In the near 19 years of Arsene Wenger and until May 2014 Liam Brady running the
youth system at Arsenal I can not
remember them releasing / selling a
youth team player that has gone on to be a world class or even top 4 team player.
I can
remember Arsenal being linked with this Serie A striker when he was just making a name for himself at the age of 17 after breaking through into the first team of the French club Caen after three years in the
youth system.
