With rumours at DEFCON3 regarding Luis Suarez and Arsenal fans hoping the end of the club’s tour of Asia would signal the start of some real activity in the transfer market, Arsene Wenger has told the Mirror that it is unlikely that anything will happen in the next week at least. Wenger said: “We are ready to do quick deals but all the transfers do not depend only on us. ... “But we are prepared to wait. It looks unlikely before the Emirates Cup. “We still have a strong squad but we are there on the market to try to strengthen our team. “With or without additions we can be title challengers next season.” ====>Wenger added when asked about Brendan Rodgers comments that Suarez shouldn’t leave Liverpool for Arsenal “He must explain that. I don’t know. We are not close to signing Suarez or anybody else so there’s no reason why I should talk about it. “There is nothing to say. I have been away now for two or the weeks and it’s hard to see how things are advanced because everyone is on tour at the moment and it’s very difficult to get in touch with people. “I believe that every club competes on a very high level. What has changed recently is that in Europe some countries like France suddenly have bought some very very talented players who two or three years ago would all have come to England. It makes the chase for talent very difficult. “What we want is not a name but as good player. The name is less important. What is more important is the quality of the player. At the moment I must tell you we are not close to signing anybody. “We try to do the job and we will try to do it well. But that is in front of us. We have worked a lot but nothing has been concluded with anybody. “Of course we want to do as many top players as we can. But we also have to focus on the players we have and develop them. We have plenty of candidates in midfield now and there is a big fight there. Bacary Sagna settles in well at centre-back with Thomas Vermaelen out.”
