Wenger backs Gunners squad

04 Sep 2008 - 07:03:51

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is content that his squad has enough quality and strength in depth to challenge for silverware this season.

The Gunners chief did not add to his ranks on transfer deadline day and is not too concerned about a lack of newcomers at the Emirates Stadium.

He told the Islington Gazette: "We have the squad to cope with every problem we face during the season.

"I really think it's more interesting for us to look at our strengths and at our quality rather than looking outside. I know that makes headlines, but it doesn't win games.

"I have to say it has been a transfer window largely of talk.

"The best example that illustrates this is that of Kaka. He was mentioned ten times in connection with Chelsea and then finally he said he is staying at AC Milan.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is another example that has occupied the media for the whole summer and in the end there was no movement.

"You can add Emmanuel Adebayor to that list. These were the stories of the summer and basically none of them moved."

    Arsene Wenger is the only manager keeping football not only as business oriented but also attractive and respective for the supporter.Pplease, use Nasri as central the midfielder in the abscence of Fabrigas.

    Arsene Wenger is completely right. Arsenal have the quality and strength to defeat any team in the world today. We shall celebrate at the end of the season.

    Last season we played well to some point, if the guys could now take it from there. We are lacking power upfront and cant rely on one man the whole season.
