names in all the comments, and am sat here thinking because they failed
in thee clubs does not necessarily mean they would have failed if we had pulled out our fingers and hot them back then, Balotelli aside I strongly believe all of these players could have made a difference playing infront of our midfield and given the kind of attention and care Wenger gives Giroud and Walcott, adapting our play to suit them and giving them chances after chances even when its blatantly obvious they are average players so please lets not keep using that as an excuse for Wenger's ultra careful attitude
in the transfer market, they could have failed with us, or they could have been massive for us, all speculations.

I just don't know what's wrong with Arsenal fans.Sure I get it as humans we all have our preferences but things start to look funny when we begin to bash and criticize a player like he's useless.I just don't get why Arsenal fans do nt want Vardy.Oh is it because he's not world class, he's English, He's not a big
name, he's a fairy tale, you feel all he does is run, he's not got a better history
in footballing until now or you feel Giroud is better or what?I really pity Arsenal fans honestly.I would've taken Jamie Vardy
in a heartbeat.Sure he's not the best option out there.But I'll say this and say it again it's not a world class
striker that wins you a league but rather just increases your chances of winning the league.If you've watched Arsenal clearly from the time since Henry left you realized that it's more of not being able to find a clinical
striker.Eduardo was not a already a finished product when he started his career here yet he was clinical and was on world class form until injury.What Arsenal need now is a world class finisher if they can't get a world class
striker.

I even thought top clubs were
in for him.Some three or 2 seasons back many here were debating why he should be our main
striker.As soon as you mention any other
strikers name people would come out with stats and many things defending him.Even Wenger has defended him blindly
in the past.People say Wenger's stubborn yeah.But don't we know that there's a reason why everything happens?Honestly speaking he's the reason why Arsene Wenger has failed to sign a top notch
striker because he still believes
in him.The funny thing is we signed Welbeck at that time who to me did nothing before to be the main man here.People keep saying Welbeck is hardworking and that he works his socks off.But the question is was that our reason for signing him.Welbeck being signed to challenge Giroud tells me a lot about Giroud's quality.Even Walcott (no offence to him) who has zero CF qualities was even chosen over him for a string of games and all
in all I think he did well but has too many defeciencies for that role.We've compromised as a club and it'll come back to bite us.

in the team...
in 10 years
in he is no starter and his impact is good but he isn't the first
name on the team sheet... If Wenger as a shot at getting such
