Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes the transfer market is on the road to changing beyond all recognition.

"It looks like European rules will make transfers disappear," Wenger declared. "Now, after three years, you can move out. After 28, you can move out after two years.

"Soon someone will say, 'why not at 27?' That's age discrimination - we want to walk out after two years as well. Then somebody will say, 'if after two years. why not one year?' And then there will be no transfers.

"Year by year, that's happening. Then we are in big trouble losing people's interest."

Wenger added: "We have a great team which is developing well and we have to keep them together.

"The only situation we don't master is Flamini, who is free to go if somebody else offers more money than us.

"All the rest, it's important we show strength and belief in this team because they are really strong."
