Wenger: Arsenal working “hard” on transfers

Wenger insists he is prepared to spend, but when it came to being asked about big-money signings says that his priority is that the club can continue to afford to pay their employees.

The Frenchman, who is now affiliated to Manchester City and in charge of their sister club, New York City, also said he was disappointed that Wenger had allowed so many former players to cut their ties with the club. But sometimes the collective can be better than individual players. I (will) spend 300 million if I find the player, if I have the 300 million.

Arsenal defenders Laurent Koscielny and Rob Holding rejected suggestions Leicester City deserved a pair of penalties during the goalless Premier League draw at the King Power Stadium.

Unfortunately, the Gunners are making a habit of losing their first game of the season nowadays despite being drawn at home and even rival supporters are now admitting Arsenal fans are right to feel an injustice.

Arsenal have made three signing this summer with Granit Xhaka, Takuma Asano and Rob Holding all joining the club. “It is risky. English clubs suffocate themselves by buying players at a high price with high wages, if it goes wrong you are left with high wages”. I just said I’d spend £300m if I find the player and I had £300m.

Vieira has in the past bemoaned Wenger’s failure to keep his former players involved, saying in May 2015 that his former boss had turned down the opportunity to bring him in as a coach.

There have been calls for Wenger to splash the cash and sign a big-name centre-forward, with many feeling the inconsistencies in front of goal by Olivier Giroud last season ultimately cost runners-up Arsenal the chance of winning the title.

“You could see last week we lost Aaron Ramsey with an injury and now he’s out for one month”, Koscielny told arsenal.com. While it is a positive news, many Gunners’ fans are starting to think that if this is the reason Arsene Wenger is not signing a striker.

There was little between the teams, last season’s top two, but Leicester had a strong penalty appeal turned down late on when substitute Ahmed Musa appeared to be tripped by Hector Bellerin. “I will take care of him and make sure he gets to the right place”. “I’m very, very happy for the effort, the spirit and the union of the team”.
