Thierry Henry on Mikel Arteta: "He got [Raheem] Sterling when everyone wanted a nine. He had time to get a nine, he had time. I’m not the coach, I don’t know the discussion."

Thierry Henry: “‘I’m not saying that I’m disappointed with Arsenal, but it’s normal that people are raising questions now about what the team is doing.”
“I understand that at the very beginning [for Mikel Arteta] you arrive and it’s not your team, you need at the very least three or four transfer windows to change everything that you want to.”
“It takes time and you have to give a manager time to be able to implement what he wants to do.”
“Now, for the last three years Arsenal have been in a situation where they should have at least brought one cup in or a final.”
“Manchester United have played in five finals in the last five years, the United that everyone laughs at, whereas for Arsenal in the last three years of building, they’ve not reached a final.”
“So, I do understand when people ask the question, “Surely you should compete for a trophy?”
Thierry Henry on Mikel Arteta: “He got [Raheem] Sterling when everyone wanted a nine. He had time to get a nine, he had time. I’m not the coach, I don’t know the discussion.”
“Everyone has been screaming or a nine, apart from when we win by the way! Because when we beat Real Madrid, we don’t need a nine.”
“You do need a nine. I don’t understand the change… people change the way they talk. We need a nine when we’re not scoring and then suddenly we go on a run and nobody mentions that we need a nine.”
“But you need a nine, for me, and a nine. We’re talking about a nine.”
