Piers Morgan's ludicrous Mikel Arteta plea ignores Arsenal's major transfer failure

Piers Morgan may think Patrick Vieira should replace Mikel Arteta - but that would be a ludicrous decision for Arsenal to make.

Until their recent dip, Arteta looked like he was finally getting things together at the Emirates: like he'd found the right formula and a return to the Champions League was within his grasp. Then, his side lost three times in a row to slip below not just Tottenham (gasp!) but also Manchester United (really?!?) in the race for fourth place.

Now, they face tough trips to Chelsea and West Ham, with a visit by United sandwiched in between. But Arsenal's biggest problem is not Mikel Arteta; it's their failure to buy him a striker in January to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
