Stewart Robson: 'Arsene Wenger can't be trusted with big budget'

Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson has admitted that he doesn't "trust" Arsene Wenger to bring quality players to the club this summer.

Reports have suggested that the Gunners are poised to make a bid for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney along with other big name Premier League players.

"I am not expecting any marquee signings at Arsenal. There is a lot of talk about it, but I don't know if I would trust Arsene Wenger with that money," Robson told talkSPORT.

"Over the last few years some of the players that he has said were going to be world class haven't ended up like that - people like Philippe Senderos, Denilson, Marouane Chamakh and Carlos Vela for example."

Arsenal spent big last summer on Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud but lost Robin van Persie to Manchester United.
