Graham expressed his frustrations over Arsene Wenger and the board’s reluctance to spend in recent years, saying other clubs have overtaken them by investing in their squads.
“I don’t think Arsenal are ever going to compete with Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United,” he told The Sun. “I thought they could have competed with United because they don’t spend the money the other two do, but Arsenal are not going to compete with them either.
“They have got a structure at the club on transfers and wages. They are very strict on those. They have more or less said to fans that is the way they are going to run the club. They can still pick up cups and qualify for Europe, but will they win the Premier League title again? I can’t see it.
“In the past Arsene’s teams have played some of the best football I have ever seen. It was breathtaking, but the quality of players there now is inferior to the players he used to have and I don’t care how good a coach or manager you are, you need good players to win things.”
Arsene Wenger and his players have endured a topsy turvy start to the campaign and will be looking to improve their league form against Reading on Monday.
