Wenger quashes hopes of Arsenal fans: ‘We cannot spend as much as other clubs’
Posted Monday, June 05, 2017 by Tribalfootball.com
Arsene Wenger has dismissed rumours Arsenal will splurge this upcoming summer, stating that a maximum 'two or three signings' will happen.
The Gunners have already secured Schalke fullback Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer, and are expected to tie up KAS Eupen wonder kid Henry Onyekuru for £6.8m when a work permit is granted.
Wenger admits that the Gunners cannot compete with their rivals in the big money moves, but the Frenchman insists money doesn't necessarily represent value.
"We cannot spend as much as many other clubs because some clubs have external resources that allow them to be basically unlimited," Wenger told beIN sports.
"We can spend money because we have managed the club well. Let's not forget the amount of money spent is not a guarantee of success.
"We have to be clear what we understand as a big signing. Is [Rob] Holding a big signing for you or not?
"When you buy a player for £40m, everybody will have at the start a positive judgement. When you buy him for £2m, he can't be good?
"That means a big signing is not necessarily linked with the amount of money spent."
