I can understand your frustration (believe me!), but it's been near-impossible to secure top class, proven strikers this summer. Look at the Manc scum, paying £36m for an unproven kid with a so-so scoring record (in one of the poorer quality European leagues). I dare say Wenger would have paid big bucks for Benzema, Cavani, or someone of that quality. But either their clubs wouldn't entertain bids or the player wouldn't move. The decent strikers that have moved seem to have done so for non-money reasons, taking less money than is available in England to go to/stay in Spain (can understand that) or move to Italy (which I can't understand, because Italian football is the most dreary brand I can think of). Why would Wenger pay an over-inflated price for a Joe-average striker who'd be no better than what you've already got? Then again, £15m for Charlie Austin might have been worth a go as a last resort (with likely re-sale value, too). Or even Ibra for a low fee but mega-wages...
