Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he has no
sympathy for Liverpool losing Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling in
successive summers.
Both Suarez and Sterling were linked with Arsenal before
big-money moves to Barcelona and Manchester City respectively, forcing
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers to rebuild his forward line two years in
row.
But speaking ahead of Arsenal's clash with Liverpool at the Emirates on Monday night, live on Sky Sports 1, Wenger said he is not concerned about the problems facing his managerial counterpart.
"Liverpool can make their own decisions. They refused to sell us
Suarez, so I cannot feel too much sympathy for them," said Wenger, who
saw his club's £40m plus £1 bid for the Uruguay striker rejected in
August 2013.
But Wenger does acknowledge the scale of
Rodgers' challenge, saying: "Let's remember two years ago with Suarez,
(Daniel) Sturridge and Sterling, Liverpool scored over 100 goals. You
need special quality to do that, and Sterling was part of that."
