Emmanuel Petit slams Arsenal's transfer policy

With Aaron Ramsey set to depart on a free in the summer, Mesut Ozil's expensive future looking nothing but an ordeal in profligacy and a lack of transfer activity in the winter transfer window, former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit has in an interview with The Independent, called the Gunners out over their transfer policy.

Petit has questioned the support that the club is offering Unai Emery and has said that there is no point to his appointment following Wenger's sacking if the manager will not be backed. Petit said,

"The frustration level must be very high for Emery, as in only his second transfer window as Arsenal manager he was told he cannot sign anybody,"

"You look at the money Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City spend and, unless you join them and put the cash on the table to compete for the best players, you are going nowhere.

"If you sack Arsene Wenger and then say to the guy who replaces him 'you have no money to spend on new players', I would ask; what was the point of sacking Wenger in the first place?”
