Gael Clichy believes Thierry Henry's departure from Arsenal will
force the club's young players to "grow up".
French full-back Clichy, 22, said: "Thierry was one of the greatest
players ever to wear an Arsenal shirt, but now he is gone everyone
has to take more responsibility and believe in our quality.
"His departure will make us grow up faster and fight even harder to
get results - and we need to show that from the opener against
Fulham."
And Clichy believes the Gunners can push Chelsea and Manchester
United in the title race.
He added: "We can't hide behind being a young team forever - this
is the year we have to turn that into winning trophies."
Indeed,time to win
trophies!
