Nicklas Bendtner says Arsenal's thumping of Sheffield United last night is proof that Arsene Wenger was right not to spend big in the summer market.

The Denmark international told the Evening Standard: "I think every year there is talk about the strength of the squad and every year the boss says we have the players who are here.

"They have showed they have the quality to do what is required of them.

"I don't think there was any doubt that people here thought we were strong and capable enough. We are top of the table and are doing well.

"If you have to add to the squad, you have to add to the squad. I can only say that what we have here has shown to be really good so far."
