Arsene won’t buy another midfielder

Yesterday the Brazilian [Edu] was quoted as saying he would be leaving Arsenal at the end of his contract in the close season after four years at the Club. His manager [Arsene] reluctantly accepts his decision.

“It is something I regret,” said Wenger. “That’s because we have lost a great player and I did a lot of work on this case. But I respect his decision. It is all part of a professional job.”

However, with the emergence of two talented youngsters in central midfield this season, the manager feels he will be able to cover Edu’s departure without dipping into the transfer market.

“No [I won’t buy],” said Wenger. “I have Fabregas, Flamini, Vieira and Gilberto. Four is enough for me.”
