This exact same thing happened to me, I decided to play a system with just one main striker (Cisse) and a AMC (Ben Arfa) behind him. Though I did bring in Vaclev Kadec for 1mil as he is a much better option for the bench than Shola, and develops into a very good player, make sure to give him plenty of games in the league cup/early europa, and FA cup. He is at the level now where if a big bid comes in for Cisse in the summer I may let him go.
