Very few people are able to look at the bigger picture. How many people do you know who would admit to avoiding youth and sell youth because they aren't good enough? Furthermore they'd opt to pick the top players at the time and limit any forms of rotation. Look at the sudden decrease in development within Micah Richards and Josh McEachran compared to Jack Wilshere, because they're not being played enough. Only a year ago the majority of fans said David De Gea was poor and were willing to sell him. Not long ago, Jonny Evans was never going to be good enough.
(Getting the right balance.)
The biggest example occurred in 2004. A player actually said Rooney and Ronaldo weren't good enough, and he wasn't willing to wait for the finished article. We're currently seeing the same unbelievable opinions with the likes of Jones, Cleverley and Welbeck. If you look at Borussia Dortmund. Their team began on youth and low wages. These are the foundations of a successful club. They're now in the Champion League final. That's not to say you can't have experience, it's all about having the right balance.
My point is, there are very few people that have faith in youth and can identify potential. They'll pick on players and say he isn't good enough, because they're not looking at the final product. The likes of these would go guns blazing in the transfer market. Players don't just develop over night. Of course some are naturally gifted and flourish from the word go. Most players don't reach their peak until their late 20's, that speaks volumes. Yes experience is important too and certain transfers are also vital but we need to remind ourselves, how are we going to produce the stars of tomorrow, if we don't fulfill the potential in young players today.
