Is Wenger telling us what we already know?

Arsene Wenger has told Arsenal fans that the club are no closer to signing players and to expect very little, if any, movement this January, according to talkSPORT.

Arsenal have been linked with a number of players this winter, predominantly Koln striker Lukas Podolski, but Wenger has only managed to acquire MLS star and former Gunner Thierry Henry on a two-month loan deal so far.

And with the January transfer window closing on Tuesday, Wenger does not expect a hectic period at the north London club:

‘At the moment we are not close to signing anybody. The transfer market is internal for us. We recently played with ten players out, to have only two or three out would help us a lot, much more than the transfer marker.

‘You can look around at all the big clubs and who bought players? Nobody because you can’t find players at the moment who can strengthen big clubs.’

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting anyone to come in or leave Arsenal this month. Although we are in desperate need of a striker to help out Robin van Persie with the goals, Wenger has bizarrely decided against. The Daily Mirror claims we had an £8 million bid turned down by German club Koln for Podolski and rightly so.

The fact is there are players out there to acquire, but once again Wenger’s stubbornness and frugalness got the better of him.

    You have basically recycled a load of quotes and written the following sentence:-

    The fact is there are players out there to acquire, but once again Wenger’s stubbornness and frugalness got the better of him.

    Where’s the probing & discussion? Yu’ve jumped to a conlusion without backing anything up!!

      True, but I don’t think there was any need to do so as this is well documentated anyway. We all know he doesn’t spend on players in January and the fact he is bidding for players contradicts what he is saying. There are player out there, but he doesn’t want to buy this month.

  • Amazing issues here. I’m very glad to peer your post. Thank you a lot and I’m taking a look forward to touch you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?

    If you think “it is not right decision to sell my van on internet”, you have to take your van to used vehicle seller and take your money. You may also take your van to various stores and other places where you think your van can be sold.
