It was suggested that maybe this has prompted this speculation. “As soon as a player doesn’t play fantastically well, he is criticised,” said Wenger. “We all know that. “I personally believe he is a great player – he is going through a period where it is more difficult at the moment. But he works very hard in training – his attitude is fantastic and I am desperate to keep him. “He has played almost every single game since the start of the season – he has played for his national team as well and he is physically a bit less fresh. But he will come back stronger than ever because he works very hard in training.” 温格为最近表现低迷的阿沙辩护 http://tinyurl.com/4s6u3fa Wenger - No change in Almunia situation Manuel Almunia’s future at Arsenal remains uncertain. The Spanish goalkeeper has not played for the Club since the 3-2 defeat against West Brom in September and is currently nursing an ankle injury. Last week Arsène Wenger admitted there was “a small chance” that Almunia could leave Arsenal during the transfer window. At his pre-match press conference on Friday, the manager explained that the situation had not changed. “No [I haven’t spoken to him] and I haven’t seen a lot of Almunia because we have travelled,” said Wenger. “At the moment the situation is exactly the same as last week.” 温格表示很久没看到从去年九月以来就没为球队出赛过的阿穆尼亚 http://tinyurl.com/4e7l756 Wenger - I won’t buy if Almunia leaves Lukasz Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny have staked their claims for a first-team place in Almunia’s absence and Wenger has admitted that there is a “small chance” his most senior keeper will leave. If he does, expect another youngster to step up. “No [I won’t sign another keeper] because we still have Vito Mannone who plays at Hull who is available,” said Wenger. “I think Almunia will stay, then we have three goalkeepers. People want us to have four, five, six, I don’t know. “We have a young Argentinean boy [Emilio Martinez] as well who is very good. We have plenty of goalkeepers, I think a club who works well can produce good goalkeepers.” Mannone recently extended his loan deal with Hull until the end of the season. Wenger is not sure whether he can recall him. “It is a complicated question to answer because I don’t think we are [able to],” he said. “We had to make a decision at the time before we knew Almunia was going out or not. I didn’t want the problem of bringing Vito back and being No 3 so we took the gamble. I think we can bring him back only in the case of exceptional injury.” 温格表示：除非发生重大伤病(大小波兰有一受伤)，才会考虑召回马神 而且我们还有个天才阿根廷小将，我们很擅长出产好门将 (得意) -- 果然不会有新门将 我们又成功被教授呼咙过去了.. --
