Arsene Wenger has raised hope amongst Arsenal fans by
admitting he could dip his toe in the January transfer
market.
Arsenal are in danger of being cut adrift from the top three in
the title race, having lost five league games already this term,
and face a crunch meeting with Liverpool at the weekend.
Wenger had suggested in recent weeks that he was unlikely to
raid the market in January, but his stance appears to have shifted
somewhat.
“I cannot say something will happen, but you never know,” the
Frenchman told Arsenal TV Online. “It is feasible that we can do it
and sometimes a [new] player can give some extra belief to the
squad.
“If it appears we can make something special, then we will do it
- but at the moment I can sincerely say we have not seen anything
special that can really convince us we will be much stronger.”
Wenger is aware of the pitfalls of making signings in
January.
He added: “We have gone with a policy we respect and the
solution is not always when you do not get the result you want to
just go out and buy. That can destroy what you have built up until
now.
“We do not reject it, but we cannot also say that for certain it
will be done. We have a young team with the club in good shape, a
healthy financial position, which suddenly is quite important.”
