“But there comes a point in your life when you have to think about winning the biggest prizes in football, and I think it has got to that point for him.”
“He has given Arsenal great service, but he should be winning league titles and European Cups.”
“I played for him with the youth team at Barcelona and you could tell he was a special player - he had great vision and passing range even then.”
