I think it could only be part of the explanation though
A) You can tell he still is contemptuous of spending money on developed stars as he'd rather nurture talent himself
B) He is stubborn, so would rather prove people wrong about Arteta and Giroud than sign better players
C) He is someone who doesn't like confrontation and is loyal to his players and won't want to rock the boat and upset the players he already has by making their spot in the side up for grabs
Cech would be a counter example to C, but I think he was prepared to do it because Szczesny had disrespected him
Add into the mix a reactive approach to the transfer market, and a scouting system in need of updating you have inaction as a result of a man who has always been indecisive with bringing in squad additions.
