M'Vila is good because he fits the big hard bastard mould but is able to play technical football, and we can build a good long term midfield with him-Wilshere-Arteta/Diaby.
We have someone to change it up when tippy tappy doesn't work, that is Walcott, Gervinho and Ox. The fact that we play tippy-tappy and not counter attacking football is down to Wenger; Rosicky and Diaby are supposed to be pacy box to box MFs but with us the slow it down and pass side to side, we rarely see Walcott/Ox tearing down the flanks due to Wenger as well. If we get Tiote he will be instructed to play in the same way.
