All very worthy however, IF the article is correct, for me his recruitment policy has cost Arsenal at least 2 PL titles (both surrendered to United when Arsenal were dominating the PL in January). I'll be happy if he continues in this vein in the Summer.

Arsenal majority owner Stan Kroenke is set to entrust Arsene Wenger with a £100 million transfer budget in the summer, but the manager insists he will stick to his ethos of nurturing young talent and producing homegrown stars.
Arsenal's Premier League title bid appears to be over for another year after taking just two points from their last three games, opening the door to Everton to try and break Wenger's perfect Champions League qualification record.
But the board has taken injuries to key players into account and retained its faith in Wenger, and with new revenue streams boosting the club's income have pledged to back him in the transfer market once more, according to The Telegraph.
In spite of the show of faith, Wenger does not intend to stray far from his recruitment philosophy.
Nicolas Anelka, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Cesc Fabregas and Wojciech Szczesny were all given their chance to shine in the Premier League for the first time under Wenger's guidance at Arsenal and the Frenchman remains convinced that loyalty is garnered by his long-term approach.
