No regrets over transfer dealings - Wenger

11 September 2009 12:31
Arsene Wenger insists he has no regrets over seeing both Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure leave Arsenal for Manchester City. Much has been made of Mark Hughes' unprecedented summer spending spree at Eastlands, bankrolled by their new Middle East owners, as he looks to quickly compile a squad capable of challenging the top four. Some £41million of that went to the Gunners for the services of their Togo frontman and long-time defensive stalwart Toure, who is likely to captain City in Saturday's match between the two clubs. Wenger, though, would not be drawn on the reasoning behind the transfers - amid reports of dressing-room unrest involving Toure and William Gallas, and suspicions Adebayor moved on financial grounds. "There are no hard feelings for Toure or Adebayor," the Arsenal manager insisted. "I always wish my former players to be happy. "It is part of life that players move on. That is not a reason that you want them not to be happy. I am extremely confident they will be and wish them well."
