That aside - what else would you have Wenger do but going for players he thinks will improve our quality? Sign shitsters despite them adding fuck all to the team? Even Real and Barcelona don't always get their targets (immediately), why would you complain if we couldn't lure a starter on the best in the world?
It's not that the 'target' player may be an elite level player (Busquets in this case), but that it is likely to be him or no one at all with no genuine plan B.
I have no issue with trying to sign realistic elite level players, however we have been told a number of times this post season that we only bid for players who have been made available & there has been no indication of this re Buquets or that he is open to a move at all - unlike perhaps Benzema, Lewandowski, Gotze, Cavani, Reus who have all been involved in prior discussion/bids/comments re being unhappy.
What I object to is setting our stall to wait for such a target & then the window closing with an obvious hole not addressed and the usual platitudes about no players being available to improve the team = it's elitist BS.
