Arsene Wenger has admitted he was disappointed that French midfielder Mathieu Flamini decided to leave the club for AC Milan on a Bosman transfer.
"It is a problem [the salaries on offer] but we did not master this situation [with Flamini] because when a player is out of contract he can sign where he wants," said Wenger, speaking at a forum for Arsenal's shareholders.
"I must say I am disappointed that he did that - but legally he can do it.â
Wenger remains convinced that his stars will help their battle for success next year: "I hope that 95 percent of the team, the core of the team, says 'come on, we have only just lost'.
"And it is just, because we were leading at Manchester United, we were leading at Chelsea and we were leading at Liverpool in the Champions League - and every time we just lost a little bit of focus and lost the game.
"Let's come back and show we are winners. That is the real target of the team."
