Arsène Wenger is not scared to buy big this summer if he feels
he needs to.
Speaking before the weekend defeat at Old Trafford that saw
Arsenal's title bid come to an end, the manager said he may only
take on one experienced player in the close season. However,
despite some of his previous signings failing to fulfil their
potential, he would not be afraid to outlay major money.
For example he was asked if the purchases of Jose Antonio Reyes
and Francis Jeffers had put him off spending high transfer fees,
also whether he was 'scared' of bringing in a superstar like
Ronaldinho.
"Scared of what?" he replied. "I would not be scared. We
couldn't afford him now so we have to forget it.
"But the money [we have paid out] is not comparable to what
other teams have spent on players. For example with Reyes we got a
big part back and for Jeffers a little part back. If we have the
money and I am convinced it is worth it, we will do it."
Confirm boh ?
