| Vermaelen Fitness Key For Wenger |
|
Centre-back Vermaelen has been out with an
Achilles injury since last August but is expected to be back by the end of
this month. However if the Belgian's comeback is delayed Wenger will dip
into the transfer market to cover his back four.
Midfield and up front, no, but at the back, it just depends on [Thomas]
Vermaelen," said Wenger."I am just waiting to know more about him, and then
at the end of January will have to make a decision."Title rivals Manchester
City are set to add the £27million purchase of Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg to
what has been an unprecedented level of investment seen at any English
top-flight club since Sheikh Mansour took over at Eastlands.
Wenger, though, insisted other teams can have no complaints as they look to
get success the best way they can."What is fantastic in football is there is
no given formula," the Arsenal manager said."I personally am a big fan of
the way we do it, so I try to be successful with the way we do it."You can
also do it the way Inter Milan do, or Manchester City do - they buy the best
players in the world, and it works as well.
What I want to show is it works our way as well."Wenger added: "It does not
annoy me the other way as long as they respect the rules."At the moment, the
rules are like that and they respect them, so you cannot fault them."It is
supposed to change, then we will see."
Meanwhile, Wenger has called on Arsenal to start building the momentum which
can drive them to the title with victory over Manchester City.
The Gunners have so far enjoyed a decent return from their Christmas
fixtures, beating Chelsea on December 27, before drawing at Wigan and then
seeing off Birmingham 3-0 at St Andrew's on New Year's Day.Although Arsenal
hold a match in hand on City, whom they trail by two points, they will have
played one more than leaders Manchester United by full-time tonight when
victory could move them back to within two of the top.
Given the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham are also within striking distance,
Wenger knows full well it will be the team which is strongest from here on
in who are set to be at the summit the only time it really matters."There
are five teams in the fight. Some teams have a bit more belief than others,
but that can change very quickly. Overall it promises to be a very
interesting sprint," Wenger said.
You always have a team after Christmas who finds a momentum and this team
will win the championship."The Arsenal manager is happy enough with his
team's current form, but accepts things could have been even better.
