The only two first team players that Guardiola brought through with him were Busquets and Pedro much later in the season. All this rewriting of history to make him look like a manager who develops youth is absolute shite.
All the other players that he is credited with promoting either didn't make a breakthrough at Barca or were already very much important parts of the Barca squad.
He came in and got rid of a couple of senior players, spent a lot of money bringing in star players from other teams.
In fact, I think he's spent well over a billion on signings since he's been a football manager. Cheque book manager? You bet!
Disrespectful? Absolutely, he's an arrogant twat and had it been an honest mistake he would have rectified it.
