Wenger wants three new players
Arsenal would do with three new signings at most in Arsene Wenger’s view.
The Gunners have secured the likes of Carl Jenkinson, Gervinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer, but have seen the exodus of several experienced players starting from Gael Clichy to Samir Nasri.
Wenger though, has been reluctant to replace his departed players but the Frenchman has cited January’s African Cup of Nations – which will see several of his men out on international duty – as the main reason to add new faces to squad.
“It is important [to strengthen] because we will lose players in January with players going to the African Nations Cup,” said Wenger.
And thus, the Arsenal boss admits his side needs a new player in every department from the back-line to upfront.
“We lose Gervinho and Chamakh together so, first of all, it is important to strengthen up front. It is important that we find one midfielder and one defender as well. So we are still short of three bodies.” he added.
“My time has been taken up [by players going out] and it was a very difficult summer on that front because we had to face adversity, negativity, but it had to be done. Overall, we tried to do as well as we could.”

I still think Fabregas went too cheap – the price should have been 35 millions + Thiago Alcatara for 3 years.
Nothing we could really do about that. We were dealing with only one team in the market. Barca knew Fabregas wanted to come. We knew he wanted to go. Arsene could only hold it up as much as he could to get the best possible deal. 35 million pounds is much better than the 29 million they initially offered. Besides, we got him for peanuts from them and made a killing on the sale in real terms
yea tht true wenger
Wenger is always admiring players,he doent buy….wont b surprised if doesnt buy b4 d Transfer window closes….and we wil face our dilema like we have been facin it in d past
In as much as I hate to hear that I must say I agree withyou mate
I dont tynk wenger is ready to buy he keep saying he is looking for the right replacement when he is not ready 2 spend so hw is he going 2 achieve dt am afraid he might nt even buy a player talkless of 3
Well said Mr.Wenger but it is easier said than done.Get them real fast time is running out for you & the team to stand a chance of getting any silverware or mounting any meaningful challange in all competitions this season.
Arsenal’s return to signing top players & winning real trophies (not league cup) depends on the stability of the board. At the moment it’s what Liverpool were like before Kenny & Henry – power struggle on the board between those 2 americans but Rafa got all the blame.
Arsenal need Dein back & Hill-Wood out for starters.
Wenger has obviously lost d “invicible“ magic.its shameful dat he make so much money selling players but culd spend
mr wenger stop lieing..to yourself..when will you sign spt 3rd rigth
For f&@ks sake – do you honestly believe it’s all down to Wenger? I think he has been an extremely (overlly) loyal servant to the board. He is too dignified to point a finger, and whilst he CORRECTLY believes in the future, his hands have been tied as far as signings go. He is the man who made Arsenal global and many of you whiney ass fuc&£ers have probably only read about what Arsenal was like pre- Wenger. He made us club who ‘should’ win things. Without him we’d be less than Liverpool/Spurs are now. Show some Fu£@ing respect before you lazily lurch towards the bandwagon! My 7 year old understands the history of OUR club and respects Arsene’s influence. We would be No-where without him! We didn’t deserve our success, Arsene gifted us! All you non-believers Fu£& off and support City, or another quick-fix club. What post code were you born in?
Re-read my comment, didn’t mean anything against our supporters from over-seas! Good on you! But honestly – how many of you were die- hard Gooners during the Graham/Rioch era???????????
gud work
Just buy new players and let the club move on.We are tired of cheap talk.
why can you lot not wait???? its only one week for god’s sake !!!! we didnt need to strenghten last season like people we’re saying ( buy a keeper – yeah right !!), so why are you comparing to last season???
this season is different, OUR manager is saying he will get a couple of additions and we will get them……. just believe in the guy, his recent transfer record speaks for itself. signings shouldnt be rushed…. you rather get the right player late than some piece of crap early !!!!
remember good things come to those who wait ( not moan you idiots)
Spot on bro!!Let wait before we bring out the boo boys..im sure Wenger has got 1 player already.typical wenger style
oh ok the great wenger we believe in you . but pls this season should not be a season without trophy.
pls mr wenger do something before time run out.we are waiting for new fab,new herry,new reyes.pls and pls
i think is begining to face the reality of what is happening in the club i wish him (wenger) luck
