Arsenal Proves That Depth Delivers Success
Arsenal has again shown that depth, and a good young squad of backup players is one of the main ingredients to succeding at both premiership and Champions League level. The average age of the players sent to Fenerbahce was 23, his previous ‘youth’ team averaged 19, both delivered stunning victories. Yesterday over Fenerbahce, it was a 5-2 goal feast.
If you compare Arsenal to Tottenham who are languishing at the bottom of the table, you can see the contrast. Spurs struggle to put a decent team on the pitch each week following the sale of their top players during the off season. For some strange reason, the Spurs management sold of their star players before securing any new signatures on contracts. The end result, an exodus of talent and the non-arrival of new talent.
Teams such as Arsenal, buy first - assess their needs then sell the excess. Always looking to build the team first. Add to that a program of developing the youth and the club not only survives, it thrives. There is always talk about money in sport and how money tends to destroy sport. Arsenal hasn’t spent big, they have developed and traded cleverly.
