Arsenal are strong enough: Arsene Wenger

London: Arsene Wenger has moved to reassure fans that his squad are strong enough to challenge for Premier League supremacy, despite recent departures.Manchester City completed the signing of commanding centre back Kolo Toure from Arsenal after previously securing striker Emmanuel Adebayor from the London club.

These departures, and the lack of new signings, has left the impression that Arsenal will be weakened ahead of the forthcoming season, but Wenger is insistent, his team can compete. "I feel we are strong enough but if we can add then we will do it," the Frenchman told the Gunners` official website. "If we need to add then we will. We have money available so for us it is now [important] to spend it in the right way when we do it or if we do it.” "In England people think that all the problems can be sorted out by buying players. I believe the biggest target is to work hard in training, improve what we can improve and have confidence in the players that we have." Wenger has made just one signing this summer, centre back Thomas Vermaelen from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven. The Arsenal boss is yet to comment on rumours that former star Patrick Vieria may be ready to make a return to the club. Goal.com
