Ultimately yes, it would be nice, but simply having a better footballer in place of Song, who can either actually defend, or just not concede so many dangerous freekicks, our defence improves anyway.
If we didn't have Rosicky, Diaby, Ramsey, sure, get a dedicated DM, play Wilshire/new guy/Santi, with Sahin and Arteta making for an awesomely strong midfield 5 with quality rotation options, several players capable of filling in at DM, almost all of them great going forwards. But we do have Rosicky, Diaby and Ramsey, and a first class top DM, who costs 10mil + to buy will be on a decent wage, and will want to be first team, as would Sahin, Wilshire, Arteta, Santi, and Rosicky/Ramsey/Diaby will want games.
If we weren't wasting the money on players we already have, I'd love a DM, though I've seen little other than hype to suggest M'villa was even particularly good, and with all the rumours about what he's like as a person, not worth getting at all.
Wenger loves Diaby, gave Rosicky a new contract, considering he wants to use them and considering the numbers we have I can't see him going for another midfielder on top of Sahin/Santi now.
This is my biggest problem with guys like Diaby/Rosicky, if we didn't have them we could have fitted in 3-4 guys every year, give some relative unknowns who cost 1-2mil a relatively light contract/wage, test them, any good, new contracts, rubbish, lose little and move them on easily. I HATE persisting with players we KNOW aren't good enough, its not the failing, or not winning, its the not trying. I'd prefer to get rid of known bad players and sign new players who end up being worse, than simply standing still with players who will never cut it. The flip side is you can end up with players who are fantastic, if we aren't going to spend big then that is the only way we'll win stuff, instead Wenger persists with the rubbish in the squad while moving on our better players
there is someone it seems.
