Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger lost his patience with reports at his press conference ahead of the Champions League game with Turkish side Fenerbache and it was clear that the Frenchman was less than impressed with the questions raised about his activity in the transfer window.
The Gunners have had a terrible summer so far regarding transfers and despite being promised big-signings and money being spent, so far the club have only signed Yaya Sanogo and that was on a free transfer.
The likes of Gonzalo Higuain, Luis Suarez, Luiz Gustavo and Wayne Rooney have all been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, but as of yet, nothing has come from the reports.
Talking to the press ahead of Arsenal’s crunch game in Europe, Wenger seemed to lose his patience with reports and slammed them for their questions confirming that it’s his business and not their’s.
“There is nothing to explain,” Wenger said. “First of all, you don’t know what we have done, you don’t know if we did bid and you have come to a conclusion without knowing everything that has happened.
“It is quite amazing that all of the people don’t know and yet they always have opinions about things they don’t know.
“I won’t explain to you what happened. It is not down to me to explain to you everything I do. It is impossible.
“If we do a transfer, we will announce it. We always inform you. As for the rest, you have to leave us to do our own things.
“We don’t want to hurt anybody, not Newcastle, not anybody. You can’t reproach us on one side for not buying and yet on the other side when we try to buy to reproach us as well. That is a bit contradictory.
“I would just like to reiterate to you that in the last 16 years we have been very successful with transfers – if you look at the players who play tomorrow, they are top quality players, and you should never forget that.”
Wenger added: “It is not always to think what is outside is better than what you have. What is important as well is to rate what you have and our fans have to understand that as well.
“What is important is to go out and see a good football game. All that other stuff is good for the newspapers, but it is not real football.”
