Yeah Henry was terrible...
if you're trying to challenge an argument that says rarely, I'd advise to use more than 1 example :D Arsenal over the last 2 decades have bought heaps of talent, but hardly anyone has enjoyed a successful career, especially after leaving Arsenal. Fabregas had 1 good season outside of Arsenal, Nasri none, Gervinho ended up in China and half of them I don't even remember. At the end of 90ties and start of 00ties it was better of course, but they've been crazy unsuccessful in developing players for more than a decade now

Van Persie. Ashley Cole. Our Polish GK. Just give up.

yeah, it's still not a lot considering how they're operating almost exclusively as a talent developing factory, we're talking about a very big time period here. there's just something about that club that encodes failure in their players :p
