Wenger has said today that 'we have many offensive players'

You may not be able to play the video but believe me thats what he said.
I doubt he will sign a striker.
Watched this on sky earlier,got the distinct impression we won't be signing any midfield or forward players,really hope i'm wrong though.Looks like being another frustrating transfer window for AFC supporters.
He was asked about whether players like Sterling, Schneiderlin or Schweinsteiger were players he was interested in and he said offensively we have many players, so obviously he sees Schneiderlin as a creative midfielder as well.
I think more or less he was just ruling out attack minded midfielders/playmakers
By today's crazy transfers, 40m for Scheinsteiger and Schneiderlin is extremly good business.
Yeah was thinking that myself.
I imagine Schweinsteiger will be on ridicolous wages because of his reputation (200k), but in terms of transfer fees they've done well especially after cocking up badly last year (63 million on Di Maria)
Impressive that they've kept Schniderlin to around the 25 million mark which what I expected the minimum for him to be. I suppose it indicates that we weren't seriously interested which hurt Southampton's chances of getting top dollar for him.
Got to admit I'm starting to get slightly concerned by the Mancs. Schweinsteiger I could deal with but both him and Schniderlin? That's there midfield sorted out. Another CB and a striker and I think they could be favourites.

Favourites? I wouldn't go that far....Chelsea are still the favourites because they have the most settled team....plus like with us and Wenger they have the drag factor of Van Gaal who has the same pre historic view when it comes to player fitness, coaching and match tactics.
There is a strong possibility that they will finish above us, if we fail to strengthen because we have a manager with a wait and see attitude to player recruitment.
But for me they actually need more than one striker, you clearly could tell that with the rapist crocked and Falcao just not cutting it they really lacked goals (especially away from Old Trafford).
They have massively strengthened as was expected when they signed that multi million kit sponsorship with Addidas that blew our Puma deal out of the water, but remains to be seen whether that Dutch weirdo can turn them into title winners.
Wenger said that we have many offensive players not we have too many offensive midfielders.
I very much doubt he will sign a striker.
I wonder if we will sign anyone else this summer.
We all know by now what Wenger is like.
So Ranieri is back in the PL, will be fun.
