Arsenal manager Arsene
Wenger has welcomed Rafa Benitez's idea to have reserve teams
playing in the Football League.
Benitez has called for the system, which is already in place in
Spain, to be brought into the English game.
Chelsea chief Jose Mourinho has also shown support for the idea,
with the chance to field the club's youngsters in the lower
leagues.
Wenger has allowed the likes of Nicklas Bendtner, Alex Song and
Fabrice Muamba to go out on loan to get regular first-team
football.
But the Gunners boss would prefer to keep all his players together
and believes the current system is failing.
"I would love it," Wenger told the club's official website.
"What used to happen is that you had a reserve league and an Under
18s league, which was very important.
"What has happened now is the Under 18s league has transferred to
the reserve league while the Under 18s has lost a little.
"When you look at it these days, 90 per cent of the reserve games
are played with Under 18 players so one may have to be cut
off.
"We have many players who play on Saturday (for the Under 18s) and
on Monday for the reserves.
"That means they play too many games and cannot
practise."
