It is better to teach skill when they are young as he is showing. Diaby, Song, Gallas, Sagna, Vermaelan, Bendtner, Van Persie and Silvestre are all strong physical players and difficult to get the ball from. Most of the above cover our defesive work which is where they are needed to allow the quicker more skillful players in attack to do there magic. A combination of both is needed in the EPL and Wengers squad is the closest to achieving that now. Also the younger players will get stronger as they get older. Madrid and Man U have always been more physical than skillful which is why they have won the trophies except we are now seeing the swing in Arsenal and Barcelonas favour. Both will now lead Europe for many years. I think arsene has been working on bringing skill into players first and then hardening them up for the premier league.
