Robert Pires : Arsenal Needs To Buy English Players!

May 14, 2011 | 1 Comment

Aston Villa veteran Robert Pires fears Arsenal will not win anything unless they start buying British.

The French legend is set to make his return to Arsenal tomorrow five years after leaving.

The 37 year old respects his old boss Wenger and insists he will win things with Arsenal again – but only if he brings in home-grown talent.

He said: “To me there are two things – one is that they are too young and now he needs more English players in the team. You need the mix.

“You need English players because they have the experience of the Premier League.

“Then mix that with the French, the Spanish, the Germans and so on.


“But he has taken his direction and philosophy. That’s his opinion. I respect it.”
