Longtime Arsenal manager Arsene Wagner pointed out the danger of relying too much on talent available in the football transfer market, saying that continuously acquiring world class footballers at a lucrative price is 'quite scary.'
Wagner, who is currently in the middle of training session with the Gunners, had a chance to talk with Joseph D'Hippolito of the Guardian about the crazy transfer that transpired across leagues in Europe.
The Arsenal tactician is aware of the talent accumulation made by rival teams (Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool) this offseason. However, he's pretty confident the Gunners have enough weapon to make some noise this season.
"I personally believe that no matter what you do, it's never enough. In the Premier League, every club is hugely ambitious. With the cheques that everybody signs, it's quite scary. But I believe we know what we have to do."
"It's tough for us. We are in a very hard training programme at the moment, so you never know how tired the players are when you go into the games. But it was good to see that we were in good shape. We've had two hard days in our training sessions just before we played today, and it was good to see that everybody did well."
The 66-year old Wagner is entering his 20th season as manager of Arsenal. The last time he hoisted the Premier League title was 12 years ago when French striker Thierry Henry was the star of the team.
