The Arsenal manager gave the following quotes this morning regarding where Arsenal stands in the transfer market…
Is Arsenal pursuing Shakhtar Donetsk defender Mykola Matvienko?
“I don’t know. I’m not going to be discussing any transfer links publicly. It’s something that we are trying to do internally and when we have news we will communicate with you guys.”
Will Arsenal sign a defender this month?
“We’ve been looking at different positions. Obviously, since I joined we lost Calum and we had other circumstances and injuries in those positions so it’s true that at the back we’ve been short. But there are other positions as well, depending on what happens in the market, that we might need to assess.”
Is he hopeful Arsenal will do some business before the transfer deadline?
“At the moment, I am 50/50 because this transfer window is very, very complicated. I only want to bring somebody in if I’m really convinced that he can really improve the level that we have.”
Sorry folks, not a lot of meat to chew on!
Cheers. Gunner 1953
