#3 The everlasting project on the next big thing

Yes, the kids are alright Arsene, and we know it. But do you really, honestly need to play them in all the big games?
Despite Wenger’s claims of having a small transfer kitty, Arsenal aren’t exactly paupers, you know. With the highest ticket prices in England, the Gunners make nearly £100 million from their stadium alone – more than any other club on the planet. Yet even then, the Londoners seems intent on utilising young players wherever they can. It sounds commendable until we look at some of the big demolitions that Arsenal have suffered against their main rivals in recent years:
Liverpool 5-0 Arsenal
Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal
Manchester City 6-3 Arsenal
Chelsea 6-0 Arsenal
Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal
Are these humiliations really worth running a creche? Sometimes, you have to buy experience and Arsene Wenger barely ever does that. And when he does, it’s in the form of a 31-yr-old Swedish midfielder who gets injured playing on the beach before even putting on the club’s shirt!
