Poor Santi. He was never quite the same after that bullying by Spurs. He was also the only player that could genuinely make Arsene’s silly/unbalanced team work properly. Ozil tried for a bit, but it kept making him ill.
There you are then. Let young Mikel go back there and prove himself then.Little Guardiola, they called him at La Masia.

"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Just a minor point of order, if he was 'Little Guardiola', how come he ended up playting for Rangers and Everton?Little Guardiola, they called him at La Masia.

He ended up playing for The Arsenal imo.
I gather the epithet referred to his understanding of the game. I think I got that from Tim Stillman so it must be true.
It’s just not right. Mikel was the way forward. It’s the old board members, voting against something they don’t understand. They did it to Arsene first time around in 1995. Voted to appoint Bruce Rioch instead. Congratulations Unai Emery, you’re Bruce Rioch!!Little Guardiola, they called him at La Masia.

Well, quite. One wonders what nickname they gave to Guardiola himself. I chiefly remember young Pep as having the enviable, even dream, task for a midfielder of playing behind Stoichkov and Romario.

To be fair, appointing a man who's literally never managed a football team in his entire life to manage a club the size of Arsenal would always have been a bit of a leap, wouldn't it? There's a difference between 'bold' and 'utterly foolhardy' at the end of the day.
Presumably, he was 'Big Guardiola'?
lol. Very good.
