Emmanuel Petit rips into Arsenal in scathing rant about his old club's 'ridiculous' recruitment, senior players acting like they're on 'vacation' AND why Mikel Arteta needs to get realistic and sell HALF of his squad!

Emmanuel Petit has torn into Arsenal in a scathing attack on his old club by branding their recent recruitment 'ridiculous' and slamming senior players for acting like they're on 'vacation'.

Arsenal have endured a miserable season to date and are currently lying in 10th position in the Premier League, some 10 points off the top four, with the Europa League their only chance of silverware.

Mikel Arteta's side have been heavily criticised all season and were ridiculed in brutal fashion at the weekend after their 3-0 drubbing against Liverpool, with Jamie Redknapp pillorying Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for doing 'nothing' and Gary Neville saying they were so woeful that he and commentator Martin Tyler could've played in defence for Jurgen Klopp's men.
