I agree with you. It's just harsh to say Wenger had an "oversight" for not discovering a player that no longer exists.

Cazorla hurts the team at that position as well because he doesn't defend.

If we are going to be honest, Wenger needs to find a complete central midfielder to pair with Ramsey. I think that's what you meant Marc_Overmars.
