Cash from the Emirates Stadium move will allow Arsène Wenger to
buy a player who costs a fortune if they are needed.
For the foreseeable future, the Arsenal manager intends to stick
with his policy of recruiting Europes brightest young talent and
imbibing them in the culture of the North London club. However, by
the end of the next campaign, Wenger believes the revenue created
from the ground move will have increased his spending power in the
transfer market.
I think that we will see the difference at the end of the 2008/09
season, he told France Football. We will have many more funds
available.
My priority will be to keep the players I already have. I believe
in the virtues of the team and I think that we can only keep and
develop the players by transmitting a club culture - a culture from
generation to generation.
They must be impregnated with the Clubs culture. If a club is
only an entry and an exit door, you do not go far. The love of the
game must be transmitted.
But, if one day, one player can help us reach another level and he
costs a fortune, we will still be able to get this player.
