William Gallas claims Arsenal have "lacked an awful lot"
this season and has implored manager Arsene Wenger to add some
experience to his squad. The Gunners finished fourth in the
Barclays Premiership for a second year running and came no closer
to silverware than a Carling Cup final in February.
The French defender is desperate for that situation to improve next
season, but is adamant more depth is required for that to happen.
"I am ambitious and I want to win the lot - but we have not made
any progress this season," he told the Daily Star Sunday.
"I know we have some talented young players, but I won't be at the
club in a few years' time - I want to win something next season.
"Arsenal have lacked an awful lot this year. The seasons are long
and if you want to remain consistent you need a squad with plenty
of depth.
"That hasn't been the case with us. You need experienced players as
well, and we have not had them. "Our young players have been given
plenty of responsibility, but when you are 19 you can't be good all
of the time."
He added: "If Arsenal keep their youngsters they will be a very
dangerous team in the years to come. "But this season we have
lacked maturity."
