Wenger won’t spend crazily

ARSENE WENGER says people were in “dreamland” if they expected Arsenal to break the bank during the January transfer window, and warned football was not immune to the credit crunch.

The Gunners are already behind in the Barclays Premier League title race — back in fifth, some 10 points off leaders Liverpool — while also without key men like captain Cesc Fabregas and England winger Theo Walcott because of injury.

Wenger is expected to look to strengthen his depleted squad, most likely in midfield, this month.
