Leicester (UK): Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hit out at criticism of his club’s transfer policy after he once again came under pressure from supporters to spend money on new players during Saturday’s 0-0 Premier League draw at Leicester City.

The visiting supporters made their displeasure plain by chanting: “Spend some money!” Asked by a reporter after the game why he was reluctant to part with the club’s cash, Wenger replied: “Why do you say I’m reluctant? I don’t understand that. If I buy you tomorrow for 45 million, I’ve spent 45 million. Have I done well, yes? If I listen to you, I will have done well, because I have spent the money.


“But spending the money in itself is not a quality.

“Spending the money and buying a top player, that is different. We are ready to do that. I (will) spend 300 million if I find the player, if I have the 300 million. I have not to forget as well that we are a club who has 600 employees who we need to have a responsible attitude as well.

“It’s a bit surprising that you come out of football games, you don’t speak bout football. You have to speak about money. I believe that you have to respect the players who have played.

“If we can find players who can strengthen our team, we are not reluctant to spend the money.”
