Buying a CM that can't tackle or dictate our flow of passes from the midfield was a mistake. Buying an attacking midfielder who has done little to increase the potency of our attack was also a mistake. We needed a tough tackling DM and striker that can score 30 a season. Now we're having to find ways to bed in players that we didn't need in the first place and don't compliment the other players around them.
We needed a decent CM, a striker who can score 30, but most importantly, far, far, far more important than any player on the pitch, a manager who wants to play a game fit for a title challenge. As we've seen now the striker has arrived, Wenger doesn't have the first clue how to use him. Turns out the 30 goal striker is also surplus to requirements because he too doesn't fit into Wenger's crackpot style of tapping the ball around aimlessly.
