It doesn’t really come as surprise to Arsenal fans does it? We are quite used to it now. Maybe he will buy a player, some 16 year old uknown, not more than that.
The Arsenal manager was asked whether he will be interested in Santa Cruz in the summer. Arsene did not just deny interst in the Blackburn forward but in every player Arsenal have been linked with or will be linked with. The Frenchman said:
“We are not interested in anyone at all. We have a strong squad.
“Next season we will have Andrei Arshavin available for the European matches. Why would i want more?”
He is right about the Arshavin fact because as it seems it is Arshavin’s absence that might not allow Arsenal to win the Champions League so his presence next year will be vital.
But to outrightly deny not buying any player is surprising. If the circumstances arise Arsene should take some cash out. We shouldn’t be too confident that van Persie, Walcott and Adebayor will stay; maybe not even Fabregas. So he should not make the mistake that he made with Flamini. He should be keeping an eye on any possible replacements. If he is thinking that if van Persie and Adebayor leave and then Bendtner can be our first team forward then Arsenal are doomed.
Lets hope he decides to at least replace useless players like Diaby and Silvestre if not add more quality.

Arshavin could not save Arsenal even if he played the manU game! We should reforce our defend, that’s it. “Next season we will have Andrei Arshavin available for the European matches. Why would i want more?” What does that mean,Arsene? Zenit did not even pass through the group stage, wasn’t arsh in their squad? Look at C.ronaldo, portugal can’t win just with him. Professor,we need a more balanced squad, you need wake up!

Your right with Arshavin in zenit’s sqaud, they only won the Uefa Cup. In the CL, due largely to being in the group of death and often not playign with Arshavin they didnt. With Arshavin in Arsenal’s sqaud, one which has without him made the Semi’s and may yet win it, we can definitely win the CL.
I think Wenger will make a shrewd defensive signing, in the mould of Bacary Sagna – who knew who the fuck he was before he came?

well i think Arsene wenger should look for players who are willing to stay with the team no matter how the circumstances may be. Arsene wenger should not put all his hope on Arshavin, Fabregas, Van persie and Adebayor because this players are hungry for champions league trophy most especially Arshavin who has won almost evreything he his looking forward for a champions league trophy. so if Arsenal can match his ambitions then he will stay.
