Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has expressed his surprise at the amount
of money being splashed around in the summer transfer market.
Wenger has made his name by spotting talented youngsters and
moulding them into star players, often avoiding the need to spend
big money to strengthen his Gunners squad.
He told the Daily Mirror: "It is unbelievable how much has been
spent. It looks like the banks are being very generous this
year.
"I have been very surprised, but then you know that there is a lot
of money out there. On my front, I am just looking to develop the
players we have here.
"The challenge is the same. They can only play eleven players at
the start of the game and it is not necessarily the case that
because they spend £50million that they are any better.
"Whenever I look at a potential new player the question I always
ask myself 'is he good enough to win the league?'.
"If I come to the conclusion that he isn't, then I don't buy
him."
