Interesting point , although you might have forgotten GnabryIt's a difficult balance to strike. Appeasing fans by making signings and appeasing academy players. Personally I'm more of a buy them ready made and sell off the academy players unless they are extra special. If they are then they'll get into the first team. As it stands with the exception of Bellerin (and most of his youth development was done elsewhere) and AMN weve struggled to really bring through players in recent years that look like they can make the grade.
