Former Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has spoken out bitterly saying that Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil will never take Arsenal FC to the promised land.He complained that with these crop of players they would never win the Premier league title.He insisted that they need four more players to be able to win the title owning to the fact that they are always hit by injuries.
Henry said on Sky Sports:
"I think they need to buy four players - they need that spine. They need a goalkeeper, they still need a centre-back, they still need a holding midfielder and, I'm afraid, they need a top, top quality striker to win this league again.
"You had the best example with Chelsea here today. They were struggling last season to win the league. They went on to buy Cortouis, Matic, Cesc and Costa.
"For me, that speaks volumes andy you saw it today - a team didn't and a team did, and they are about to win the league again.
"He [Wenger] has to do it. You need to have this competitive thing within the group - to win the league, that has to happen."
"Players need to perform, also. I will single out Mesut Ozil. Against a top four team, that was his eighth game today - zero goals and two assists.
"That is not enough. Overall, since he has been at Arsenal, he has 14 assists. You look at Cesc Fabregas, he has 16 assists in one season. Players at one point need to perform."
On Giroud, Henry said: "I think Giroud is doing extremely well. But can you win the league with him? I wouldn't think so.
"He does a job, and he does it ever so well, but you can't win the league.
"Arsenal were at the top of the league last season, but everyone was saying they are not going win the league.
