Arsene Wenger talks transfers

Arsene Wenger quashed talk that he is going to make any further transfers this summer - despite the 2-0 defeat to West Ham today.

The Gunners looked void of ideas in front of goal and constant links to Karim Benzema have not disappeared.

But Wenger believes that the problems in the squad can be resolved by the current team.

He said: “I would like to think that we are responsible to buy the players and the coaches, not the media.

“When you’re a pro footballer, you have to face your responsibilities and not always look at something else. Today we have to look at ourselves and think we were not good enough and not to think that these kinds of things are solutions for us. We were not good enough, we were not convincing. And that’s basically it.

“West Ham played well. Congratulations to them and hopefully we can bounce back quickly. Again, I can only repeat what I already said. If an exceptional solution turns up, we’ll do it. But after a defeat like that, it’s important not always to think we take a solution from outside.”
