It is safe to say Arsenal supporters went a bit crazy early this morning when quotes from manager Arsene Wenger were released.

The Gunners boss had his usual press conference earlier today and was asked about whether he would look to buy next month when the transfer window opens.

Wenger’s response suggested he wouldn’t sign anybody if everybody in his team was fit.

 

No need to buy?

He said:

“If everybody is fit then we don’t need to go into the transfer market.”

That comment flew social network twitter into chaos with fans outraged that the Arsenal boss hasn’t signaled his intent to sign anybody.

However, could this be a clever ploy by the Emirates manager to suggest he will actually be buying in January.

Massive injury list

Gunners currently have 13 players out injured, so it will certainly be a while before Wenger has a fully fit squad to choose from.

Is his admission that he doesn’t need to buy anyone if everyone is fit, a sly comment to suggest that the amount of injuries his team current has means he will be signing somebody next month?

In addition to this, it has been confirmed by Wenger that star midfielder Aaron Ramsey will be out until the New Year.

Minimum three weeks out

The Welsh midfielder scored a stunning goal against Galatasaray this week, but also suffered a hamstring injury, which will rule him out of the next three weeks of action.

Ramsey’s injury adds to Wenger’s problems and means he will sure dip into the transfer market next month.

Even if Ramsey comes back, Jack Wilshire is set for a long spell on the sidelines so the Gunners will almost certainly recruit in January.

Wenger must not take all the blame, what is Steve bould suppose to be doing in sorting out the defensive problems .for two many seasons we have watched so called international players making basic mistakes. Chambers is completely lost at full back. Come on lads, pul up your socks and earn your money.

I think he tries to use his squad which is good for the players in the squad. However to me the squad is not deep enough. We don't have many quality defenders.
Why are we having so many injuries, is it something to do with training?

I have said previously that Wenger will not purchase players in the January window, why, because he is stubborn and does not like being told what he needs and who to buy,especially by the media. I hope I am wrong we need some new defenders, we cannot carry on the season with only SIX recognized defenders,none of which are world class
