Arsenal Legend Emmanuel Petit feels the side will go nowhere with the £60million transfer budget.
It reported that that new Arsenal boss Unai Emery will have £60million in the transfer window.Petit believes that the with such a budget it will be hard to match teams like Liverpool and Manchester City.
He said:
“When I hear about the amount of money Emery has to spend, I can’t believe it. Where are you going with £60m? You’re going nowhere.With that amount of money, you can put the best manager in the world on the sideline and the team won’t change much. There is quality at the club, but not to match the likes of Manchester City or Liverpool. They need to bring in top quality players.
I want to say to the board: ‘can you just stop bringing in young players for one year?’ We’ve had enough of young players. The club is full of them. It’s been like this for 15 years now, we need something else. We need talented experienced players. We need big characters and big personalities. This is what has been missing. For me, £60m is ridiculous.”
Arsenal boss Emery will be hoping to bring in top names to make the side competitive
