Wenger - We need to trust our players now

By Richard Clarke

Arsène Wenger has asked Arsenal fans to trust his existing squad in the wake of Emmanuel Adebayor’s departure to Manchester City.

The Togolese striker finally completed his move to Eastlands on Monday. It leaves a hole in the Arsenal frontline but Wenger has yet to decide whether he will fill it with an external replacement or his internal resources.

Either way, the Frenchman believes his side can cope with the loss.

“The message is to trust the players that we have,” he said.

“This is a very big season for us but I believe that we are in a very strong position.

“Big clubs have lost big players before. For example Milan has lost Kaka [this summer] and yet Milan will go on. Arsenal have lost big players in the past and still continued at the top level.

“There are positive messages aswell from the summer. Remember players like Van Persie and Fabregas have stayed here after being announced away.

“So I feel we have a big enough squad to deal with the targets that we have.”
