It seems to me that the change in formation in the last 18 months or so, has seen us scout different types of players than we have done previously - especially in the wide positions. Miyachi and Wellington are players I don't think we would have previously signed, now Wenger seems to want genuine, direct forwards in the wide positions, as opposed to playmaker types who are more comfortable centrally, and don't really have the pace or goal threat to threaten from wide positions consistently, but contribute more to passing the ball and working teams around.
