Why is Wenger so stupid ?
Even a blind man watching Arsenal can see that we desperately need a defensive midfielder . Wenger tried some internal options which are not working : Arteta has done a decent job but but showed he is not a long term solution . Frimpong is quite inexperienced . Coquelin is good but you can't give such a crucial role to such a young and inexperienced player . So , the only option left was to buy . We all know Arsene likes cheap players . Mapou Yanga Mbiwa from MonPellier is a very reliable defensive midfielder who can also play as a CB . He was available but Wenger didn't see him . Newcastle got him for 6millions only . Couldn't we afford him ? What kind of scouts report did Wenger need after what he showed us when we faced Monpellier in Champoins' League ?
Another reliable cheap option is Victor Wanyama from Celtic but apparently Fergie has personally scouted him . The boy is good and self-confessed gooner but again Arsene prefers to show us his stubbornness . Unless he intend to make TV5 a defensive midfielder and buy a better CB , I wonder what Wenger is up to .
