There have been so many instances with Wenger though where the most logical thing would have been to go into the transfer market but Wenger has chosen not to. We have been short both in numbers and in quality, in defense and in midfield in particular, and yet Wenger has opted NOT to buy.
Unfortunately I can very well see Wenger thinking along the lines that this squad has taken us into the top 4 with half the league games still to play DESPITE the horrible start we had - why the need to strengthen? Especially when he has already secured Henry while Gervinho is at the ACN. I think Wenger is also wary of the the fact that if he signs another forward that means less chances for Miyaichi and AOC, two younguns I am positive he rates extremely highly.
I agree, us getting Podolski makes a lot of sense. I have stopped trying to guess what Wenger will do though.
