Trouble is with these cheap unknowns is there's no pressure to play them, if we'd signed someone established they wouldn't just accept sitting on the bench behind the likes of Flamini. Eleny will probably just be happy he's at Arsenal so Wenger can play him in 6 months or whenever he feels he's ready.

The manager doesn't really understand the concept of improving the team, he just signs pet projects because he feels like it most of the time. Of course he wasn't going to sign Vidal, because he'd actually have to play him if he had signed him, by signing these lesser known players he knows he can play them at leisure.
