Arsene Wenger says Arsenal's future lies with the team's young players, such as Jack Wilshere.
Arsenal are now benefiting from their home-grown recruitment policy, which Wenger feels will make a strong bond between the developing players and their club. "If the quality is local, it is of course even better because it gives you more guarantee of stability because the players who are English who play for Arsenal are more likely to stay for a longer term than foreign players, but we look first at quality, that is the most important," he added. Wenger came in for criticism from some of the travelling support during the goalless draw at Villa Park on Saturday - with chants of "you don't know what you're doing" greeting the second-half substitution of striker Olivier Giroud for defensive midfielder Francis Coquelin. However, the focus of the French coach remains unmoved. "My job is to give full commitment to this club, with integrity. That's what I always do without expecting any return," he said. "I don't want to comment on that [fans]. I just make sure that I do my job properly - that's what I do."
