Rex, just like you, is suggesting that the winning team is the team with the right/best approach. In that case, Barcelona have easily had the right/best approach in recent times.
Thats fair enough Pest, and although- contrary to popular belief- Barcelona are not the best team in the known universe, I have never said their system is bad you can't argue with trophies and Barca have snared a few.
I have however always maintained that their system is good for them but not for us as-
- It requires highly technically proficient players.
- We play in the most physically demanding league in the world.
Now as everyone knows technically proficient players who are also physically robust and powerful ain't cheap (or plentiful) Barcelona (and Wengers) system will never work for us, stark choices will have to be made.
Either a lot more money will have to be spent on the team or the system and style will have to be changed to a less ambitious counter attacking one.
With the tight-fisted leeches who now infect our club we have very little prospect of ever increasing spending to an effective level and also Wenger has so far shown he is unwilling or unable to change systems, so we're fucked.
