Former Arsenal player Ray Parlour believes his ex-club should give Mikel Arteta time, even if it takes 'three years' to return to the Champions League places. The Gunners have made a slow start to the season under Mikel Arteta. They are currently 11th and six points off the top seven. The Spaniard doesn't appear to be under any serious pressure. And Parlour believes Arsenal should give him a time. “He’s learned a little bit from Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola as well, but I would give him a chance," Parlour said on TalkSPORT. “It might take a couple of transfer windows, look at Jurgen Klopp, he got an opportunity. He came into Liverpool and there was a plan. “Arteta has got to show he’s got a plan going forward. It might take three years to try to challenge that top four or try to challenge for the league. But we know money does make it easier and that’s where the board come in. “If they think they’ve got the right man, please give him a chance by giving him a little bit more money. I do think Arteta needs a couple of windows to get his own players in. (Arsenal technical director) Edu is going to be a big part of that.”
