ARSENE WENGER insists he will NEVER buy his way out of trouble.

And he has hit back at worried Arsenal fans begging him for a big signing.

The Gunners boss has ruled out the possibility of challenging big-spending rivals Chelsea and Manchester United in the transfer market.

He declared boldly: I hate the idea that, whenever we have a bad game, the solution is to go out and buy.

"I dont know why were always under pressure to buy £30million or £40m players.

I am not impressed by big names. I am only impressed by attitude and quality. All the rest is just hype.

So if Chelsea buy Robinho, frankly, what can we do about it? The answer is not to look at what Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool are doing.

Im not interested in comparing names. I focus on my own players, not the other teams. The squad we have has enough quality and strength to win the Champions League.

Wenger has spent just £17m this summer on Samir Nasri, Aaron Ramsey, Mikael Silvestre and Amaury Bischoff.

But he has recouped all that money from the sales of Alex Hleb, Gilberto Silva and Justin Hoyte and further reduced the wage bill by allowing Jens Lehmann, Mathieu Flamini, Philippe Senderos and Armand Traore to leave.

He added: If I can find one more player before the transfer deadline, I will take him. But one more player will not make that much difference.

A good player is not necessarily linked with the price. It is getting harder to buy the right players but the market is still there.

At the moment, we are struggling to find the right player.

"If we dont get him, were still strong enough to deal with all the competitions.

Yet with Chelsea completing the signing of Brazil international Robinho and Manchester United still in the hunt for Tottenhams Dimitar Berbatov, Arsenal fans fear their team are falling even further behind last seasons top two.

Condemn

Those concerns were intensified by Saturdays dismal 1-0 defeat at Fulham, with the leadership of captain William Gallas once again called into question.

Wenger, predictably, refused to condemn his controversial skipper.

He insisted: Gallas is no more guilty than anyone else. We lost as a team and well respond as a team.

We were not good last Saturday and lost. Its as simple as that.

We completely understand the criticism. It hurts terribly to lose like we did.

I cant remember the last time I was so angry. I was furious because we didnt create a lot. The question we have to answer now is whether that display is the real level of Arsenal or not.

The players already know the answer and have to prove it on the pitch. Are Chelsea or Manchester United better? Well see but Im not convinced.

At least Arsenal will be boosted by the return of Cesc Fabregas for tonights Champions League qualifier, second leg against FC Twente.

The Spanish playmaker has missed the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury but is available again.

Arsenal hold a 2-0 lead from the first game in Holland and Wenger admits it is crucial they finish the job against Steve McClarens team at the Emirates.

The Frenchman declared: This is a massive game for us. And I am not even looking at the financial consequences.

"We want to play at the very top and that means being in the Champions League.

Wenger, though, warns against putting too much pressure on Fabregas to turn things around.

He insisted: Cesc has no more responsibility than anyone else. I believe we have more than enough leaders in our team, even if we are not yet at our best.

People still speak of the Invincibles but dont forget that last year we lost only three games.

"We still have those players, so why should we not be capable of repeating that?

I have seen what we can do on the training ground and that is why I am so confident.

"We just need to transfer that on to the pitch. I promise there will be a big improvement against FC Twente.
