Arsenal legend Paul Merson has warned Mikel Arteta is not ready for the manager's job at the Emirates.The Spaniard held talks with Arsenal on Sunday, after Man City's 3-0 win at the Emirates, with chief executive Vinai Venkatesham pictured leaving his Manchester mansion.
Arsenal are in talks with City over the availability of their assistant manager, who came close to taking the job before Unai Emery. "This is a big, big gamble putting someone that has never managed before in charge of a club the size of Arsenal," Merson told Sky Sports. "You're only as good as your players at the end of the day and the idea of Arteta replicating Guardiola's style of football at the Emirates just falls apart when you look at the players he'll be working with.""Other than the fact he won't get lost on the way to training, I don't know what else he brings to the table," he added.
