Arsène Wenger only intends to buy a couple of “super, super class” players in the summer.
Over the past fortnight, the Arsenal manager has seen his side knocked out of three major competitions. He travels to Aston Villa tonight still hoping to salvage second place in the Premiership but he knows this will be a trophyless season once again.
However the Frenchman believes his young squad needs tweaking, not major surgery. Once the transfer window opens in the summer, he’ll hope to acquire only prestige players to add to his squad.
“It will be maybe one or two — maximum,” he said, “and then only super, super-class because we have what is needed. If someone is available I would always try to improve my team but the basis is inside the club.
"Of course [our situation] is frustrating but as well it is promising because we are five to six years younger than everyone else. I know that people want ‘here and now’ - we live in a society of ‘here and now’ - but unfortunately unless we have massive amounts of money we have to be patient.
"And I feel we are not far away from the other teams."

I think he regards that as a done deal
IMO one will be a striker or a defender and t'other will be Franck Ribery :S

We turned down berbatov apaprently (although he says he turned us down) and I think that, regardless of his quality, he wouldnt have been as good for us as he has been for you as our style is so much more different, although, fox in the box type player!

Yesh! He cna then long term replace Ljungberg who personally I would say should move on now, he doesnt score anymore and we have youngsters who can do a similar role to him so IIMO he should move on and retain his status as an Arsenal legend

I think you just need a player like Henry to guide your youngsters. I agree with his tweaking comments!

You need a keeper, central defender and forward if Henry goes IMO.

Supposedly £20m in addition to this years which he never spent of £25m less anything re. Baptista/Reyes :S
Not sure on keeper, I'd love to see him sign Marco Amelia but he will give Almunia a chance 1st IMO!
