London, Feb.10 (ANI): Coach Arsene Wenger has said that he will not be splashing out cash for new players because Arsenal simply cannot afford it.The manager was visibly rocked by back-to-back humiliations against rivals Manchester United and Chelsea, which all-but killed his title hopes.

According to The Sun, he was raw, tetchy, fidgeting and uncomfortable as he fielded questions about his team’s inability to mount a credible title challenge.

He said: “It is very painful for me. Do you think I fight every day and night to lose the game?

“What is great is that you have another chance,” he added.That chance comes tonight at home to Liverpool in a game Arsenal dare not lose.

Fans are calling for a big name, a big money signing, but Wenger is adamant he will not start spending ’silly money’, as Arsenal cannot do it.

He said: “We’ve gone for a policy and need to be strong, patient and sometimes get knock-backs but still persist because it’s the only way this football club can be run. I know everybody else is impatient. My job is to be patient and to work and to let people think if I do the right things or the wrong things and that’s it. It’s part of my job to live with that.” (ANI)
