Wenger defends transfer policy

30 November 2008 - 18:35

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has again defended his transfer policy and bringing through young blood, insisting that doing so well help the long-term financial goals of the Gunners.

  • Nottingham Forest agree deal to sign Chelsea target
  • Chelsea now want to sign West Ham star after Joao Pedro

  • Wenger said: "I believe that the job of a real manager is to try to be successful with the financial respect of a balanced budget.



    "I am proud of the fact that we made £30million profit last season and I will try to make sure we do the same this year.



    "People don't seem to understand that spending £50-£60million doesn't make you stable. In fact, it puts you in a financially weak position. Some people say that to win they are prepared to make their club explode.



    "Here at Arsenal we have two important strengths.



    "We have a very young team, which is also very promising and we have a 21st-century stadium and training facilities. We are also in a strong financial position at the moment."
