“They will be back after the break”.

The Gunners are yet to register a win this season in the Premier League, their 4-3 defeat against Liverpool being followed up by a 0-0 draw at Leicester City on Saturday. “The Valencia coaching staff want to keep Mustafi. The news was excellent and he will be back around Christmas”, said the Frenchman. If we can find players who can strengthen our team then we will do that.
Wenger also hit back at long-standing criticism that he is unwilling to spend the money Arsenal have in reserve. And it’s not my money. “Also Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal played very well”.
“Last year sometimes I over played him a little bit and he is always looking to stay on the pitch. That is not the basic problem”. On that front, I believe when you conceded four goals last week we have shown a great defensive performance. “I think it all comes down to the manager being dithering”. “We have plenty of players who want to join us”. He’s [Henry] one of them. “I think this week he was already sharper in training”. He left that job this summer in order to continue working as a TV pundit.
“When it’s an English club, the price multiples the transfer by two or three, or maybe by 10”, he added.
“It’s not my money and it’s important to spend money the right way”. To buy the good players is a quality. I think this club has been built on that.
“What matters to me is that you have 600 employees and can afford to pay them”. “And that’s why everybody is in the market for the same players, and very few players as well”.
That is in stark contrast to the transfer activity elsewhere, including Manchester United’s world-record £89 million move to bring the French midfielder Paul Pogba back to Old Trafford from Juventus amid several signings. “If an English club doesn’t come in, he’s worth £5million. They need a striker, they started the summer by needing a centre-half and why-oh-why every year, do Arsenal go into August, something of a mess, a bit of a shambles, trying to drive a hard bargain on August 31”.

“We were told that they were moving to the Emirates to go and compete with the big European super powers and as such, that just hasn’t happened. It is unsafe. English clubs suffocate themselves by buying players at a high price with high wages, if it goes wrong you are left with high wages”.
