Sanderson says Arsenal lack 'world-class players' to compete

The former England forward believes recruitment is key if Arsenal's women want to get back to winning trophies

Transcript

00:00I just honestly don't think Arsenal have enough world-class players

00:03Marena Caldante I think is a top player world-class

00:06she's done it in Barcelona

00:07but when you look at like Caitlin Ford, Katie McCabe

00:09Top players

00:10but when I look at world-class

00:12You look at Lyon, you look at Barcelona

00:14They are world-class all over the pitch

00:16Wendy Renard wasn't even on the pitch at the weekend

00:18You know what I mean?

00:19This is the type of strength and depth these teams have

00:21and I don't think Arsenal have it

00:22I think René Stegas can build it

00:24She's only been in there six months full-time

00:26Not even that yet

00:26So I do believe she's the person that could continue to build

00:29But I just think if Arsenal end up trophyless this year again

00:33Then there needs to be something

00:34There needs to be a conveyor belt of a change

00:36Do you know what I'm trying to say?

00:37Not changing of the guard

00:38But they need to go and recruit

00:39They need to get players

00:40They need to go and get a Trinity Rodman, a Barbara Bander

00:43They need to bring in players that are world-class

00:45Because right now

00:47I don't see many world-class players in that Arsenal team
