You should build with young players though. Integrate them into the team and the system so that in 3-5 years time they will be fully settled and you'd have a foundation point on which to build on.
It is never a good idea to build a team on players who won't be around in 3 years time. Sure the experience of RVN is vital. But those experienced players should be sprinkled around the squad rather then them being the main focal point of the team.
I don't think you are right, the club will need winning/winners for culture. Being put on the map is important to attract more players in a year or two. Past their best or not, they were terrific at one point and now still very good, for a club like Malaga. The experience they will provide to the younger ones will be spectacular. Plus, treating those players like Ruud might help them make them ambassadors later on which would help promote the club everywhere, like Zidane for Real, & Figo for Inter.
You can't expect to get young players and go somewhere, at the first sight of failure they will crumble. You think way too long term, football is faster than that. You need to mix the new crop with the old crop to create continuity and move on. Its perfect actually, because in 2-3 years these players will be way down hill that it won't be difficult to get rid of them and would be just in time for the younger generation to take over.
Otherwise, they'd end up as Arsenal.
