“In my job you expect to suffer. That's why, when I go to hell one day, it will be less painful for me than for you, because I'm used to suffering,” Wenger defiantly told reporters in an interview.

Reflecting on all the bad criticism that surrounded him during the summer transfer window, Arsene Wenger continued:

“I could write a book about the summer — it was quite unbelievable. And you would see that it was not as easy as it can look from outside.

“I'm not the only one who controls things, because it's the clubs who buy. It's also about the determination of players, because they change their mind as well.”

Arsenal fans may have to forget about winning the English Premier League this season. Although the mathematical chance of claiming the title is wide open at such an early point, Arsene Wenger has set his target on finishing in the top four.

“Still I want to come out strong. And I want to finish in the top four,” Wenger added.

The Gunners have just received an enormous boost through the late signings of Per Mertesacker, Andre Santos, Yossi Benayoun and Mikel Arteta. The heart-breaking departure of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri had previously plunged Arsenal into a big pool of worries.

As things currently stand, however, it might be too early to predict the outcome of the Gunners’ season in the English Premier League. The public is yet to witness how Arsene Wenger’s latest signings will fare and gel with the team.

Fans are likely to see Yossi Benayoun starting from the bench against Swansea City on Saturday afternoon. Per Mertesacker and Mikel Arteta , meanwhile, are poised to make their Arsenal debut as starters.
