Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists there is no way he will panic buy this summer.
Wenger certainly has funds available, with full-back Gael Clichy sold to Manchester City last week in a reported £7m deal.
However, the Gunners boss rejected suggestions he would buy just for the sake of it.
"If there were an obvious choice, people would have already made their decisions," Wenger said.
"Everybody needs the same players for the same positions. We are at the top level and therefore need exceptional quality to strengthen our side.
"I can understand that people say 'you have money, just go out and buy', but it's not only that, we want to find the quality we need."
Wenger also believes the failings of the final weeks of the last campaign can serve to inspire his men for the challenges ahead.
"I have said many times that we were very close to winning things last season, despite the disappointment we had at the end. I hope that provokes a response from my players," he added.
"We were so close this time we want to come back and achieve it.
"My responsibility is first of all not to lose players and then to add and make us stronger.
"Let's hope we can bring in one or two more additions of top quality."
