Nothing much on transfers but a few things on players and injuries. "A good start is vital, especially when you play at home. I don't disagree that we are a bit light at the moment. We are looking to strengthen our squad. I don't know [how long Arteta will be out for] but Mertesacker will captain the team. Vermaelen is out. Monreal is out but will return soon - the others are a bit longer." "We're looking more for quality than for numbers. We would like two or three players, if possible more. We're looking more for quality than for numbers. Recently players like Oxlade-Chamberlain have developed very well. Every football game is a massive excitement for me." Wenger on Ramsey: "He missed two training days this week but he's alright."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants as many as three new signings before the transfer window closes on 2 September. He said: "Ideally you would want to be quicker, but to finalise transfer you need agreement of three parties. You could see that our main rivals, it is not easy. You look at us, Chelsea and Manchester United - It's difficult to find quality players to strengthen the team and squad because there is a shortage of top players who are available. "It's impossible to give you a number. The first request is quality to play for Arsenal Football Club. After the number comes in, yes we would like two or three players, if possible more. But we won't compromise on the quality of the players."
Is it true that he said the title was completely open and up to six teams (including us ) could win it? #themantalkssence
