Arsene Wenger claims Arsenal will spend big again now financial restrictions from the club's stadium move start to ease.

Challenge

He added: "The biggest challenge so far is to convince people we have a good team, that we have good quality and that we lead the club in the right way, because many people doubt that. "I am convinced this team has a fantastic mentality, fantastic quality and with the right level of confidence, if we can create the momentum, we can be a positive surprise until the end of the season." Asked if his time at Arsenal will soon be coming to an end, Wenger said: "It is, because I am 63 years old and will not work at 100. "That, though, is not the most important, what is important is that when you are somewhere, you give your best. "How long will I stay? I have a contract until 2014, and I always respected my contracts. "It is important that the club goes the right direction - we have a very young team who have fantastic qualities and [it is important] that I help them to get their qualities transformed into positive results. "Let's not forget that last year we finished third. As long as that is seen as a disaster, it is not too bad for the future of the club."
