    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager (on whether he believes they can still win the title if they don't buy a new striker)

    "If I give you the number of strikers I have at the moment it's absolutely unbelievable. We have (Yaya) Sanogo.We have of course (Alexis) Sanchez, we have (Theo) Walcott, we have (Lukas) Podolski. We have still (Olivier) Giroud who will come back during the season. I forget maybe one or two...(Joel) Campbell can play centre-forward as well. Of course we can be successful. The success of a season does not depend on one player that you buy or not. I think you do it when you think it strengthens your squad. Of course if you find the right player, then you want to do it. 'We've shown in the last two seasons that when we think money has to be spent, we do it. But we want to do it in the right way."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager (on Champions League draw.

    "Difficult. We have experienced Dortmund a few times. Today when you play against the German teams you know it's difficult. It looks a little bit like here we go again because we have played them now a few times. Galatasaray, we just experienced how tough Turkish teams are and Anderlecht I don't know very well. But it's feasible"
