Wenger receives cash boost

29 Aug 2008 - 08:33:59

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has £30million available to sign new players, according to chief executive Danny Fiszman.

Wenger has resisted the temptation to make any big-name signings this summer despite losing a host of first-team players since the end of the last campaign.

But the Gunners board will back the Frenchman in the transfer market ahead of Monday's deadline should he wish to make a major move.

Wenger was linked with a move for Aston Villa's England midfielder Gareth Barry during the close season.

"If Arsene said to us 'I want this guy and he's £30million, can I buy him?' the answer is, 'Yes'," revealed Fiszman.

"Absolutely yes. It would be no problem. It's not our decision who he spends on nor will it ever be. We back him totally."

Meanwhile, Fiszman has backed Wenger's policy of nurturing talent rather than swooping to sign already established players.

He added: "We want to win and win badly but Arsene believes in creating teams the way he does.

"There's a dual problem for him. If we were to buy names, you are talking about relatively mature players who need to be integrated into the way Arsene plays.

"They don't know our style and it also impacts on the youngsters who've been brought through."

    I will like Arsene Wenger to buy a good striker that will replace Henry and always feature Walcott in the beginning of matches since Adebayor is losing a lot goals and that makes Arsenal lose sometimes. So Arsenal need a good two goal scorers and that will make Arsenal balance very well since they have a good defense and midfielders.
