ARSENAL;Wenger - We have the resources to advance

/noticias.info/ Arsène Wenger believes his side have enough attacking options to win at Liverpool on Tuesday and does not regret failing to sign a striker in the January window.

Eduardo's season ended with the broken leg he suffered at Birmingham on February 23 while the last game of Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) came almost a month earlier than that.

Robin van Persie returned from his own injury problems at the start of March but the Dutchman went off at half time in the Champions League Quarter-Final first leg at Emirates Stadium last Wednesday with a thigh problem. We will find out late on Monday afternoon (UK time) if the 24-year-old has recovered but, whatever the injury news, Wenger feels he can get the necessary result.

"I think we have enough resources to qualify on Tuesday night," he said. "We go until the end of the season and then see what it is like. But it was difficult to predict that Eduardo, Van Persie and Rosicky would be out together and for such a long time."

Saturday's 1-1 draw against, ironically, Liverpool did nothing to help Arsenal's comeback bid in the title race. Wenger's men were top of the table for much of the season but have been overtaken in the past month. It only adds weight to argument that the squad at Emirates Stadium is thinner than those at the other contenders. So should Wenger have bought midway through the campaign?

"Then we would have wage bills as big as [the other teams too]," said the Frenchman. "Yes we have a rich budget and a big potential when the stadium's paid. But as well I feel some young players have made a big progress and next year they will be better players.

"Players like Bendtner have already made progress from the how he was at the start of the season. Next year you can consider him a real striker." notas_de_prensa_archivo
