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.
No idea why Wenger keeps doing this. I keep reading blogs and tweets suggesting we're not playing Xhaka deep enough and it's a problem with our formation /system but I disagree. We should have bought a player to enhance the current system, not someone that create a whole new systematic conundrum. We finally work out that it takes a player like Santi to play in that role and we finally discover a more combative DM in Coquelin. Instead of upgrading on either of the two players he throws in a totally different player that can't in the current set up effectively.

He did the same after selling RVP. After the struggle we had to find a good striker after Henry and Ade, we find a role for RVP that he blossoms in but we sell him and go for a totally different striker that's incompatible with our current system. Giroud and Podolski were terrible buys. He just keeps on doing it. He doesn't adapt the system just tries to force the players to fit.
