Wenger tags attacking options as best in years after bashing City in Community Shield

After humiliating Manchester City in the final of the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday, Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger has issued a warning to other top teams to beware of his attacking options which he termed as the best he has had in years.

Obviously, Wenger is a happy man considering the squad he has been able to put together. However, speaking after the 3-0 victory against a top side like City, Wenger told Newsmen -  ''I have more attacking options than I had for a long time - that's for sure.

''Three, four, five years ago, every year we lost a big player. In the last two years, we added players like Ozil and this season like Alexis so of course that strengthens the squad.

''I am of course very ambitious but I'm a bit cautious because I have quite a good experience. I look around and see the other teams have strengthened as well so it will be interesting to watch the Premier League because it looks like all the big teams will be very strong.''

The Frenchman also confirmed Mikel Arteta as the new Gunners captain to be viced by Per Martesacker just hours after the departure of Thomas Vermaelen.
