There is a greater likelihood that Walcott would be the "Trequartista" even if Villa was bought into the team. He is a good player, but I can think of many other players that would be better signings than David Villa.
Samir Nasri isn't too expensive, if we wanted to buy him he could be purchased, but the main road block is Arsene Wenger. I don't think Nasri would be played in the inside if we bought him, I can see him playing more wide because if you look at Wenger's 12 year history he always plays more defensive minded middle men and Nasri is lacking in the areas of defense.
I think we could get Fabian Ernst, or Jeremy Toulalan for CM help, and Lucio would be an easy acquisition for CB to partner Toure. I still think Pedersen would be the ideal acquisition for us, but I doubt Wenger would pay £12M to get him.

David Villa is a great player. Probably in my top 5 favourite strikers playing right now. I've watched him play for Valencia and Spain and I've always rated him higher than Torres. Villa is an outstanding player because he interacts well with the 'passing-alot' style game. He's got a beautiful first touch and can finish a tad greater than any striker in Arsenal. Villa would be a dream signing for me, and he also claimed he would love to join Arsenal's fluent pass-and-pass play because he feels that suits him best.
I dont think Toulalan will leave France because he's happy there. He's playing for a top club which plays in champions league and he says he doesnt want to leave so I kinda doubt he would leave Lyon. Though he was a great player in Nantes and I've always seen him as a great holding midfielder since he started playing for France.
