The price of a player is down to four ingredients."One is the talent, two his age, three is how much you expect him to improve your team and four his resale value. If he ticks all four boxes then the price is not that important. You have to find the player." However, Wenger insists that he is currently "focused on the players we have" amid rabid speculation as to the Gunners' next move in the transfer market."It's not the prices, it's the players," he added after his side's 8-0 win over Viking in a pre-season friendly on Friday. "Today we didn't have [Aaron] Ramsey, Xhaka, Alexis [Sanchez] - he will play on Sunday. We still have [Mesut] Ozil at home, and Giroud and [Laurent] Koscielny too. "We also have young players who came on and did well. We do not have to panic but we are on alert in the transfer market so that we can make the right move when the opportunity comes up."</blockquote>
