Wenger: Arsenal do not need Champions League to attract talent

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists Champions League failure wouldn't affect transfer policy.

Wenger maintains qualifying again for the group stages is about more than just being able to sign top players.

"It doesn't affect too much my transfer policy. Financially it's a big game, but that's not the most important thing," he said.

"We want to compete at the top level and want to fight with the best in Europe. That's the point of this competition for us, not the financial consequences.

"We have always in the history at the club adapted to our finances. What's very important is that you want to play against the best."
