agreed he did have extremely good players at hand and he did buy some highly fee'd players on big contracts. what i see is Pep fine tuned Barca bringing back roots of the club. he'll fine tune wherever he goes. its something we're crying out for. Arsenal have decent players at hand. even those offering little could step up. theres also the fact resources are being wasted. clear that and theres something to work with to get better, decent players in.

with regards to buying big and i mean big, does it really always have to be that? no in my opinion. its up in the air whether or not Pep could work with a budget smaller than Barcas and lack of Messi but can you doubt he'll get a squad playing how he wants? joining Arsenal would be a big challenge for Pep. Not only would he have to sign within means but get the squad playing. everything else including stability is here. plus HE would be turning round yet another club like Barca hitting snags.
