We want to continue to give young players chances………. Wenger
“We want to
continue to combine stronger financial resources with faith in our philosophy
and policy,” Wenger said, outlining his approach to the transfer market.
"That
means we want to continue to give chances to young players and build the
players from inside our club with our culture.
“Afterwards,
if we can buy the exceptional players, we can compete today. But that will not
be the basis of our policy.
"These
are our values and it is our DNA and it’s important we keep that.
"With
United's success they have created huge financial resources and today there is
no patience for them to continue what they did.
"They
have the financial resources to go with a different policy. And they do not have
available players like Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham inside the
club."
Wenger, long
an advocate of financial prudence, also questioned high salaries for young
talent.
"It would
be interesting to analyse the basic wages of the England U18 team 20 years ago,
10 years ago and today, then do it in five years with the U16 team," he
added.
"You
would have a shock if you knew what the average 18-year-old footballer
earned."
