ARSENE WENGER has revealed Arsenal will not make any
big-name signings this summer. Wenger is confident his youth policy
is close to delivering success. And he insists skipper Thierry
Henry is happy with life at the Emirates despite the fact the club
will end the season empty-handed once again.
Wenger said: "It has been years since I signed a big name and it
can be one more year. "What can they add to the people we already
have? "Thierry has clarified that he will be here next season. "He
feels there is a lot of strength within this squad and this team
can compete at the top level.
"Right now in the middle of the park we have Aleksandr Hleb, Tomas
Rosicky, Alexandre Song, Cesc Fabregas, Denilson and Gilberto
what can you add? "In front we have Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie,
Nicklas Bendtner, who is coming back from Birmingham, Henry,
Emmanuel Adebayor, Jeremie Aliadiere. "What are you going to do
with those?"
Wenger also fears new FIFA rules coming into effect this summer
will allow players to buy out their own contracts. The Frenchman
added: "I am worried if I pay millions for a player I may end up
losing him for nothing."
