Wenger: “We’re Looking To Buy 2 Or 3 New Players, Possibly More”

By on August 16, 2013

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been in front of the media today for his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s clash with Aston Villa and he’s predictably been quizzed on his transfer plans.

After a summer of frustration that’s seen us miss out on a number of big-name signings (so far), the boss has acknowledged the squad is thin and confirmed the club are continuing to work hard to bring in new player, and are aiming to bring in at least 2 or 3 new faces before the window slams shut on the 2nd September.

I think it’s safe to say that 2/3 players is the bare minimum we need at this point. Arteta and Vermaelen’s injuries show just how thin the squad is at present. Another injury in defence or midfield and we’re struggling big-time.

The big question is why we’ve waited until the final days of the window to do any business. The season starts tomorrow and we have two huge games with Fenerbache coming up and we’ve got the weakest Arsenal squad in living memory to choose from. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Of course we’ve made bids and narrowly missed out on players, but on the whole the summer has been a shambles. But we’ve still got 17 days to save the season, let’s ope we can get by with what we have until the new faces come in.

Who would you like the club to sign?
