And what's really changed? Barcelona are now and were then a bigger/more glamorous/successful Club. He would have had more chance of playing a pivotal role at Arsenal than at Barcelona. He would have had great Coaching at either Club, so as a boy of 16 who could only get a fat contract in England (in Spain he would have had to wait until he was 17), Did he only really join Arsenal for money? And if so, is this what he doing again? He clearly wants to got to Barca, if he had any respect for Arsenal, he would surely just hand in a written Transfer Request, and wave goodbye to any 'Loyalty' Bonuses he may be entitled to.
