Arsène Wenger believes Arsenal
will be ready to fight for the Premiership title next season
however hell not necessarily add to his squad over the
summer.
The Frenchman takes his side to Portsmouth on Sunday for the final
game of the campaign safe in the knowledge that they will finish
third or fourth in the table. However a slow start to the season
ensured they were never really contenders for the top spot.
Wenger has previously talked of the need for one or perhaps two
super, super class players. However, speaking before the weekend
games, he suggested any purchase must be considered in the light of
the youngsters who have emerged this season.
The problem is that because we have had a disappointing season,
everybody wants you to buy, said Wenger.
I have to really think if that is needed or not because there is
an element in our team that they will progress because they are
young. Also, what do I need to add, if I do need to add
something?
I will do what I feel is right for the team and for the Club but
the situation is not always to buy. Manchester United let Ruud van
Nistelrooy go, they bought only Michael Carrick and now they play
for the Premiership.
Wenger went on: We will be ready to go [for the title] next season
if we have the right mixture.
We need to find a better balance in our team in some positions
then we will be ready.
