Arsenal boss Wenger convinced he can win the Champions League without 'panic buying'

Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal are not being left behind as their Premier League rivals splash the cash and claims his current squad is good enough to win the Champions League.
As Chelsea and Manchester United close in on big money signings Robinho and Dimitar Berbatov respectively, Wenger is yet to make a late move with six days of the transfer window left.
But he said: 'We have no complex, the names don't impress me. What is impressive for me is attitude and quality. The solution is not always to buy. There are no names and no news.
'We do not have to worry about too many other players, I believe in the team I have and in my squad.
'It is not one player that makes the difference it is us as a team. If we find one more we will bring him in, if not we will not limit our ambitions because of that.
'I believe strongly that we can win the Champions League because of what I see in training and because I believe we have the quality to do it.'

Wenger witnessed one of his team's worst displays under his management in the 1-0 defeat by Fulham at the weekend.
His squad is set to be reduced further with Philippe Senderos undergoing a medical at AC Milan ahead of his move to Italy.
The only good news for Arsenal is that Cesc Fabregas looks likely to figure in Wednesday's Champions League qualifier second leg with FC Twente after recovering from a hamstring injury.
