Arsenal boss Wenger blanks transfer questions

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is blanking all questions over his January transfer plans.

"I won't answer that question [about the transfer window]," Wenger told arsenal.com.

"If I say yes and I don't do it people will ask why I haven't done it. If I say no and we lose one game people will say I am crazy because I didn't want to buy. In England every problem is sorted out by buying a player when you lose a football game.

"We have a team where most of the players are 20 or 21. Instead of saying that they have a fantastic future, OK maybe we haven't had the consistency until now, but we are not disastrous. We have 29 points and are in the position to come back.

"Instead of saying let's believe in these players, everybody says you have to buy five or six players.

"It is difficult to get any rationality into the analysis that we face at the moment. We are qualified in the Champions League but I am speaking as if we are absolutely nobody.

"If you look in the last 10 years Arsenal have qualified every time but I still have to answer the same question every year."
