If as it seems we are not, going to be paying highish transfer fees for players, then surely more should be done to improve the acadamy, improved scouting for the youngsters etc, even youngsters released by prem clubs and so on like we did with Jerome, also DJ Campbell came through a similar route and is now in the prem.
Trouble is I dont believe DJ is the type of manager who can go down this route, as he never gives youngsters a chance, Rambo was a good example, not good enough for our first team unless forced too, yet 6 months after leaving was good enough for the Arsenal 1st team, then again Wenger is the opposite of Jones and always gives youngsters a chance.
