Arsenal boss Wenger: I was right not to buy striker

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he was right not to buy a new striker over the summer.

The Gunners were the only club in Europe's top five leagues not to sign an outfield player in the last window.

"I believe Theo (Walcott) can be a central striker," said Wenger. "But at the start of the season, I faced questions from everybody: 'why don't you buy a central striker?'

"So sometimes you have to have strong beliefs and show the players as well that you believe in them in that position.

"I always said that he will play through the middle and he got his knee injury when he played well through the middle against Tottenham. It took him a while to come back, I must say."
