Gary Neville's questioning of Arsenal's long-term strategy has long been a talking point among the Gunners fanbase ever since he first made the remarks on the opening night of last season.
The Manchester United legend's comments seemed peculiar at the time, given Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta had just purchased four players all aged 23 or under. In turn, it seemed apparent the north London outfit were planning their rebuild around younger players who aren't expected to peak for a while yet.
As a result, ups and downs along the way were guaranteed and, while Arteta's troops enjoyed some notable high points last term, the season ended in heart-breaking fashion. With three games left and boasting a five-point lead in fourth, Arsenal failed to hold their nerve and were leapfrogged by fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur right at the death.
