It is said the Gunners boss loathes big-name players.
While at PSG, he was often forced to tow the line regarding Neymar given how much the Brazil international had cost.
Ultimately, it got too much for him, and a parting of the ways was arranged.
The Independent say Emery is a huge fan of the way Guardiola treats those with egos to big.
At Barcelona, he famously ditched Ronaldinho to help aid Lionel Messi’s development.

That, despite the fact the Brazil international was the face of the Catalan giants.
He also offloaded Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who Guardiola believed was ill-suited to his system.
And it has been a similar story at Manchester City.
Guardiola left Yaya Toure out in the cold upon taking over in order to establish his own regime.
And that may be why Emery is continuing to cast doubt over Ozil’s Arsenal future with his decisions.
