BT on some level yes, you're correct (with Jovetic that is and not Benteke). But it's not like Higuain is useless in terms of buildup play. He does play quite deep at times and runs at defenders instead of constantly passing it around in midfield. Either way, for the type of team we have, Jovetic may seem like the right player as he fits in with the whole tiki taka game that Wenger wants to play, however what we need crucially is someone who leads the line well, constantly makes runs in behind the defence, doesn't dawdle on the ball, and takes at least half of the many chances we great during a game.

Real Madrid are on the telly more often than any english team, guys. Higuain is not some unknown quantity who is mostly seen in europe or on a dodgy stream.
True but for one, he doesn't always play and alternates every 2 or 3 games with Benzema regardless of whoever is on form. Mourinho just kept changing them around for no apparent reason despite both scoring goals.
Another thing is that even though Madrid play on sky sports every weekend, most of the arsenal fans I know aren't bothered watching Madrid play by the time they finish watching our games and their game is on. They'd either not want to or rather watch Barca instead. I personally wouldn't want to watch either but because my friend is a Madrid fan, I've been kind of forced to watch him whenever he comes around to my house to watch the games.
