Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is not yet sure how much money he will have to spend in the summer. "Certainly there is money to spend in the summer," began Wenger. "How much? Frankly at the moment I do not know.
"We have to see. It is linked as well with who goes out, who comes in.
"You can create money. That is what we always try to do - but how much I do not know.
"I will be meeting the board at some point next week to discuss the budget."
The Arsenal coach was honest in admission, though, that the club needed to replace some key players they had lost over the last few years.
"You look at the last two years - we have lost Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp, Sylvain Wiltord, Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole, Patrick Vieira, Edu, Kanu, Martin Keown.
"It is a capital of experience you lose, and you do not replace that from one second to the next. We have potential, but at the moment we are a bit short."
Franck Ribery and Samuel Eto'o are two players he seems to be keen on, but unless he is handed a big budget, it is very likely that he could be priced out by the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United and AC Milan.
