Wenger Will Have Summer Kitty

According to Arsenal Managing Director Keith Edelman Arsene Wenger will have money to spend in the summer, despite exiting The Champions League early.

Some people had recently claimed that the purse strings would be tight again this summer due to Arsenal`s exit in the first knockout round of the Champions League.

Edelman denied any such claims, saying: ‘It will not affect the manager’s budget at all. It certainly will not mean it will be cut in any way.”

‘If we had gone all the way to the final it might have been increased, but the budget is set based on a exit from the first knock-out round.

‘Arsene will have money he always knew he would have, regardless of the result against PSV Eindhoven.

‘Of course it was a massive disappointment to everyone at Arsenal but it won’t affect the financial side of things.’

In all honesty I don`t think the squad needs much investment. If Lehmann goes then there will probably be a ‘keeper come in, although Wenger has said already that Almunia could get the #1 shirt when Lehmann does eventually leave.

A winger is what Arsenal need in my opinion. I know it`s not really in Arsenal`s game but it offers another variation if passing our way through the middle doesn`t work.
