Emmanuel Petit has urged Arsenal to scrap their academy policy which he argues is hindering his former clubs progress. The Gunners have seen their quest for silverware suffer a huge blow this week, following consecutive FA Cup and Champions League defeats to Watford and Barcelona.A first Premier League title in 12 seasons is the only trophy available to Arsene Wengers side, although they find themselves 11 points behind leaders Leicester with just nine games to play. And Petit, who has also called for Wenger to step away from the dugout in favour of an advisory position at the Emirates, believes an over-reliance on youth is to blame for the north London clubs failure to win titles consistently in recent years.Arsenals academy policy is very good, up until a certain point - there is a limit, Petit told Sky Sports. There are a lot of players coming from the academy who are good but they have failed to improve over the last three or four years. Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain criticised by former Gunner Emmanuel Petit This has been a big disappointment for me. Players like Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere are constantly injured and they are not improving.They are good, but not that good, that is why they need something else in the dressing room. Could Arsenal make a move for Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Well Arsene Wenger says hes focusing on the end of the season before thinking about signing players Asked what Arsenal were lacking, Petit added: If you want to exceed this limit [of the academy], you have to bring in experienced players - big names, big characters, players with winning mentality.They need to bring leaders into this team. They have quality, no doubt, they have big players but not enough. They need leaders, big characters and players that hate to be beaten and love to win - not only games but titles.With Arsenal burdened by the costs of building the Emirates Stadium over the past decade, the club have arguably been forced to build their academy rather than pursuing big-money signings.However, the acquisition of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez in recent seasons, coupled with reports the club have £175m in cash reserves, may suggest a turn in the tide at Arsenal, and Petit wants them to continue spending. Young players have failed to improve at Arsenal, according to Petit There are only two options for Arsenal, Petit added. Either they keep on doing what theyre doing, adding experienced players to the youth coming through, or they use the money they have.In the last few years we have seen Arsenal performing well on the pitch but not winning titles, with the exception two FA Cups.They fail at the final step every time, at this crucial time of the season. That means they need something to improve the closing stages of the season. That, for me, would be spending the money.Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are all spending money on top players to improve their team and results.Catch the full interview with Emmanuel Petit live on Soccer Saturday, 12pm, Sky Sports 1 HD Also See: Henry on Arsenal title hopes Wenger plays down Ibra link Everton v Arsenal preview Mersons predictions Air Force 1 07 Saldi .

The Liverpool striker is expected to get the nod to lead the line for Gareth Southgates side at Wembley, but tactical expert Higginbotham believes Scotlands deep defensive line might make it difficult for him to use his pace.Daniel Sturridge is a fantastic player who likes to play on the shoulder of opposition defences, he told Sky Sports. The problem youre going to find is that the back four are going to be happy to play deep and narrow. The midfield are going to come tight and deep too. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. What you are going to find then is that there isnt going to be the space for Sturridge to run into. It doesnt matter how quick you are, theres not going to be any space to expose the oppositions lack of pace, unless you get an early goal. Danny Higginbotham thinks Daniel Sturridge could struggle to find space Youre not going to shift that back four around too much and that becomes a bit of an issue because youll find a lot of players are grouped together with a lack of movement.ddddddddddddSouthgates apparent decision to start with Sturridge raised eyebrows in some quarters. The 27-year-old scored in Englands recent 2-0 win over Malta, but he is yet to net a Premier League goal this season having fallen down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp. Merse on England v Scotland England must put Scotland under pressure at Wembley, says Paul Merson Higginbotham believes Tottenhams Kane, who scored from the penalty spot on his return from injury against Arsenal at the weekend, could be better equipped to break Scotland down.What you see with Harry Kane is that hes quite happy to drop deep, said Higginbotham. The problem you then have as a centre-back is, do you go with him or do you not? If you dont then hes able to turn and look for the likes of Raheem Sterling and Theo Walcott. But if you go tight, then youre still leaving space between the centre-backs and full-backs. Thats why I think its key for Kane to play.Higginbotham also discusses how Wayne Rooney could help unlock Scotlands defence from midfield, and assesses Scotlands attacking options.
