It doesn't make any sense. I would like to think perhaps Griezmann wouldn't contemplate leaving Spain or something but that's very unlikely. It's not like Wenger wouldn't have watched him dozens of times for the French national youth sides.
I think the simpler explanation is that we had Walcott on a new contract, and we had also invested in Chamberlain for the future. The fact that Chamberlain wasn't ready and that Walcott did his knee didn't really matter. Money had been spent on those two in the longer perspective and we had enough quality to make Champions League qualification. Källström was brought in on the cheap as some extra padding in the squad, just to make sure.
The overly conservative approach of the club can drive you mad sometimes. We've missed out on a few players now that had Wenger written all over them in big red letters.
It's the reason we don't sign loads of players I reckon, we have x, y, z so I won't bother signing a. Just not ruthless enough.
