I'm not saying our poor start was solely due to lack of an experienced 3rd choice CB, but it didn't help. Wenger doesn't just go out and spend £16m because we have a CB out for a month either. This was something he clearly dropped a bollock on, but sorted it out, to his credit--albeit a few months too late. It was actually an improvement on previous seasons where he hadn't bothered at all to address a problem mid-season.
Debuchy picking up another long term injury forced his hand mate, he has literally said as much.
