The problem with getting an out and out goal scorer was who do you get?.....the only big striker move in the summer was Higuain from Napoli to Juventus for 75million. Man City could not get Aubemeyang, Real Madrid could not get Lewandowski.....out and out strikers of great quality are a rarity. I think Lucas Perez might have been a panic buy, but 16million reflects the absurdity of the current market and I have to say I actually like what i've seen of him....i just think he needs to play more.
I'm not convinced, just don't think Xhaka is really what we needed, he's a typical Wenger signing really, much like Mustafi, Wenger always wants players who are under the radar so to speak.

As for Perez, he may get a few goals but he's not the answer to a problem we've had for year, who could we have signed, IMO there were a few players with better goal records flying about that may have been a better bet if we weren't going to go for someone like Griezmann. Lacazette would have been my choice.
