Arsene Wenger hints Arsenal don't need to hit the transfer market to be contenders this season
1 Aug 2013 22:31
Worrying words for fans waiting to greet new signings as boss predicts players he already has will be better than last year
Arsene Wenger has risked the wrath of wrath of Arsenal fans by claiming he does not need to buy this summer.
The north Londoners have yet to land a major signing in the current window, and frustrated Gooners are getting fed up with Wenger not dipping into his £70million transfer kitty.
But Wenger, in an online Q&A session with Arsenal fans, claimed he has faith in his home-grown youngsters.
Wenger said: “We are still working on improving our squad, but we have a basis of young players who are getting a chance here, who started in the Premier League.
“Wojciech Szczesny, Carl Jenkinson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott.
“They are all players who started in the Premier League with us. No-one else has done that.
“Look at our competitors. Who has started for them in the Premier League in the last 10 years?
“I believe all of those players have a special bond and are on the way up - they are not over the hill. They will be better next season and that’s why I’m confident we will be stronger.
“We had a fantastic end of the season, especially the last 10 games when we won eight and drew two; and for the first time in recent years we have not lost any players.
“We have to transfer that confidence that we have gained in the final part of the championship into the new season and it is vital we continue that to have a good start. I believe we can win the league with these players.”
Wenger also believes the fact all the other clubs in last season's top-four have changed manager this summer will help Arsenal.
He added: “It gives me a slight advantage, because I know the squad at my disposal and it will take them some time to know every single player.
“Certainly not Jose Mourinho [at Chelsea, though], because he knows already the players; but on the other hand most of those teams have lost their manager but have the stability within the squad - the players know each other.
“That’s an advantage for the (new) manager.
“I think it’s better for us to focus on our strengths than to expect any weakness from other teams.
“For us it's a sceptical environment and we need our crowd to be behind the team and the crowd to help belief, and from us that needs a very strong start.”Thanks very much for beingComment

I'm really confused, must be missing something here? Didn't they buy Walcott and Alex Ox from Southampton for loads of money? And Ramsey from Cardiff too?“Wojciech Szczesny, Carl Jenkinson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott.

What are they smoking over there?
Wtf is the difference whether they've played in the Prem before versus a lower or foreign league for instance? Nothing to be proud or ashamed of particularly, it's an absolute nothing point

If he means just that they first played for them in the premier league then we can beat their six with...
Suarez, Kelly, Lucas, Coutinho, Ibe, Sterling, Wisdom and Gerrard.Comment
