London, Oct. 29 : Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has for the time ruled out new signings, believing that youngsters in the Gunners'' squad will mature in the course of time.

He was commenting after Arsenal had beaten Liverpool to reach the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup.

"It is always difficult to convince people we do not need players, but when you see them tonight, you understand why," said Wenger.

The Arsenal boss believes the performances of the likes of Merida, Wales international Aaron Ramsey and Craig Eastmond shows just why he continues to believe in the young Gunners.

"We see them every day in training and have so much quality with our young players that we are not specially out on the market. Fran is 19, Ramsey and Eastmond still only 18. To play in a game at that level, they deserve a lot of credit," Wenger added. (ANI)
