Henry: Blues not title certs
|
Arsenal striker Thierry Henry says Chelsea are not guaranteed to win a third straight Premiership title this season.
The Blues are favourites to retain their crown following back-to-back successes and have strengthened in the close-season with the likes of Michael Ballack and Andrei Shevchenko.
Henry concedes Jose Mourinho has brought quality to Stamford Bridge this summer, but does not believe that will automatically bring success to The Blues.
The French striker knows other Premiership contenders such as Liverpool and Tottenham have been busy in the transfer market and has warned Chelsea not to be complacent.
"It's been hard to compete with Chelsea," explained Henry to the Daily Mirror."Everyone is working on that - Liverpool, Tottenham and others too are trying to catch them.
"The thing is they keep on buying quality players. It doesn't mean you always have to win the league. It's difficult for any team to do that.
"But you can't look at them and feel sorry for yourself. You have to do with what you have and that is the way it is.
"People give them stick because they have all money. When you're not in that situation, you can say 'ahh, it's too easy'. But I don't think you can or should say that."
