Arsenal future gets Brady excited
Wenger has avoided the temptation to recruit many well-established superstars in recent years, preferring to put his faith in youngsters.
Former Arsenal player Brady is currently the club's head of youth development and he enjoys working with a manager who shares the same principles.
And despite the Gunners enduring a mixed start to the season, Brady insists the long-term future of the club is in safe hands.
"There's definitely a few players for the future within that bunch," Brady told the Daily Mail.
"A lot of them joined us at 10, like Jack Wilshere, Henri Lansbury who is out at Watford getting experience, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas at Blackpool and Sanchez Watt, who was on the bench for the first team last week.
"We don't want to spend £20million on a footballer we could produce here and Arsene doesn't have a fear of putting kids in the team.
"That's a tremendous comfort for someone in my position. He was always like that, going back to Nicolas Anelka and Jermaine Pennant, but Jermaine probably wasn't mature enough to handle being a big star overnight."
Brady accepts that it is difficult for young players to keep their feet on the ground but he is happy to do whatever he can to help.
"When I cast my mind back, it's a lot tougher for kids now. They're stars straight away," Brady explained.
"But Arsenal looked after me as a kid, I'll always appreciate that and it's nice to be doing the job I'm doing."
