You're being overly critical.
We have to continue to buy youth in the hope that one or two eventually become good enough to break through. It's about spotting potential and gambling in the hope that they realise it.
Yes, Wenger has brought through a lot in the past, but he's cut loose hundreds of them, same goes for Liverpool.
We need more to come through, but we're getting there. Our academy has been awesome for the last 2 years but these kids are still only just coming up to 18 in most cases.
Be patient, it's all a gamble, but when it pays off it will be sweet.
If we decide not to go for Delph and he becomes a top player all of you guys will be spewing at Levy for not buying while he had the chance. Just like if we'd opted not to buy Lennon as we'd just bought Routledge as our first choice.
