I think their youth policy was the key to their success, but if you get the balance right, you can import high quality player, but I think you have got to have a backbone of strong players that you bring through the club. Chelsea are encountering the problem - everybody hoicks up the asking price whenever they come onto the market, so they are looking at having a much stronger youth policy now and are investing heavily - West Ham had a strong youth policy, but they just sold all the players that came through it - were would they be if they had kept those players?
