Arsene Wenger not convinced about new signings
Arsene Wenger has finally admitted that he’s not in the race to compete for the big names in the transfer market anymore. According to him, Arsenal doesn’t have a big financial plan for buying new players such as clubs like Manchester
city and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. Ironically, Arsenal have showed record profit margins of more than £50 million this year, but still are laid back over new signings which is a major turn-off for the fans.
According to him, failing to sign star players is not of great worth for the club because his belief in the club’s form is very high. He thinks that Arsenal’s rivals are to be criticized over big signings as it will only destabilize
the financial support for the respective club.
In an answer to a question at a press conference, Wenger stated that spending over £100 million on new signings and then failing to comply with the expectations will not only bust the club’s finances but also its reputation. He
admitted that what he was targeting was well overr his budget at the moment. He explained by saying:
“If I tell you we can win two more points but we lose £150m, what will you say? Win two more points. But when I ask a second question, where do we get the £150m in? Maybe you don’t have the same answer. The beauty of the competition
and this club is to be successful while respecting the balance and the funds of financial balance and all the rest for me doesn’t look normal.”
He fired back at the reporters by saying to look out for other clubs who don’t respect their financial support and are only looking to get to the top. He said that it’s not easy to be on the top and still meet ones financial requirements.
According to him, there has to be a perfect balance between the needs and the wants, and he believes he is doing everything for the club to stay in top notch form.
Arsene Wenger was praised by every football fan when he signed names such as Dennis Bergkamp and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918 for the club, and were in great form because of these star players. But this was a few seasons back, Wenger thinks that
the debt of £350m for the new stadium will hold them back from signing big guns this season and is confident about the current lineup of his team.
The latest fear for Arsene Wenger right now is that he didn’t buy any keeper last season and only spent £10m out of the offered £30m from the club. Not only this, but Arsene Wenger has turned down all the reports of signing any
new keeper or new player this season. In an interview given to a TV station, Wenger said:
They want me to develop http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 and to also buy players. But the two do not go well together. You have to play players at a certain age or you lose them. We try to be successful. If we find
the needed player who can give something more to the team then we will do it.”
Arsene Wenger is under serious pressure as Arsenal has now gone five years without a trophy. Although they have a serious chance this season to win the Carling Cup, as they’ve qualified for the Semi-Finals. He said that such pressure
is good for him, as his team delivers outstandingly when they’re under the gun. He said that the only thing to look out for this season is playing good football and securing maximum points which can help them to regain their lost glory.
