We could never have got in a world class striker in Jan. However could've got a pretty good winger/forward I'm sure. Even a better midfielder.
Exactly what 50 says. Average would have been ok.
We have plenty of average already. Rather use bendtner and some youth.

Yet Wenger has done neither.
Plus you state in the OP that "for a striker the bench mark is Chelsea". Well the same could also be said about a CM/DM which Mourinho addressed by (re)signing Matic.
Leafing up to and during January it was bleedin' obvious that there wouldn't be any of what Arsene categorises as 'top, top' strikers available. That doesn't mean that another area of weakness in the squad couldn't be strengthened.
Arteta has looked like he's running through treacle since the turn of the year. Sagna's contract situation was - and still is - ongoing and it's clear Jenkinson isn't and probably won't be ready to step up as he's full-time replacement any time soon. We lack pace all over the pitch.
I could go on...
Sack Wenger ,bring in a new man and spend some FFING money!!!
Just a thought lex but Chelsea have arguably gone backwards since those players came in! That said Jan we were under prepared to say the least.
