WE said that 4 years ago with: Bendtner, Vela, Merida, Clichy, Walcott, Randall, Eastmond ... etc etc etc etc etc etc etc ........ Where are they now ? Merida who was worth a spot rarely got picked so left, better than Diaby and Vela and Bendtner and Walcott. What is the point in having young players who you either continually play out of position (Walcott) or you play dross in front of them !
But 4 years ago there wasn't that fight and determination with the players did you ever seen denilson chasing around, diving in desperate to try and help the team win? or randall battling against a player a foot taller and 2 foot wider than him and actually winning? no, instead there were constant complaints that they didnt have the heart for it, they didn't fight but they had the skill and ability the "new" youth have both.
