Arsenal's Youth Will Light Up the Road to Glory

Are Arsenal being left behind by the outrageous sums of money being thrown around by Europe's elite?

Or does Wenger have his future world stars waiting in the wings?

It has always been clear that Arsene Wenger was never going to be one to splash out ridiculous fees for players who would create an instant impact, but would rather opt for a long term youth policy.

The signing of Ronaldo by Madrid and the revolution at Manchester City, not to mention the talent at United and two of the world's finest at Liverpool would certainly worry most Arsenal fans. But, despite their age, Arsenal have possibly three of the brightest stars in the ranks.

Carlos Vela, Aaron Ramsey, and Jack Wilshere are some of the world's most talented youngsters and are destined to become Arsenal greats in the future.

Ramsey, the heir to Fabregas' thrown has shown he has the quality to compete at the highest level, much like the Spaniard when he was also 18. His goal away to Fenerbahce was a mark of his quality and raw talent.

Carlos Vela is another who only played a bit part last season but was able to demonstrate to the thousands who had not followed him in Spain that he was more than capable of creating and scoring fantastic goals out of nothing.

An audacious chip over one of the Premiership's top keepers earned Arsenal progress through to the next round of the Carling Cup, and his wonder goals put Sheffield United to the sword in the third round.

And finally Jack Wilshere, possibly one of the brightest and most exciting youngsters to come out of Arsenal's youth academy. He was able to ghost past experienced defenders during the Emirates Cup in pre-seaon and continued to shine, showing flashes of brilliance in his appearances in the Carling Cup.

Many have likened him to Liam Brady. He has the ability to control the tempo of the game and will most likely end up in the Bergkamp role, just in front of Ramsey.

Wenger's bold statements of "buying experience would kill the youngsters" has always angered the Gunners' faithful but I feel it is something that would only pay off by playing the right players, the youngsters mentioned are the ones who should be given the chance.

Denilson, Diaby, and Song have been given the opportunity to prove their worth with the departures of Gilberto and Flamini, with only Song really rising to the occasion at the back end of the season.

This season it is time for Vela and Ramsey to shine, Wilshere who might still be a bit behind the other two should still be given a fair chance to demonstrate his skills.

The future of Arsenal is more than safe with talents such as these coming through the ranks. Ajax and Barcelona have already dominated their domestic leagues by nurturing youth, Arsenal can do the same.

With the right guidance of the senior players, Vela, Ramsey, and Wilshere are set to light up the Premiership.

An exciting future is ahead for Arsenal.
