In order to allow both Aubameyang and Lacazette to play
as central strikers Wenger would have to revert to an old fashioned 4 -4-2.
Not exact matches
He had problems to adapt to
Wenger mediocre gameplay and little ambition... He showed his best during the first half of the season
as Central Striker untill guess who changed him back to the wing... yes «Marvellous knows it all» Arsene Weneger.
We still need 3 players; 1 CB (Miquel may be the one), 1 top class DM (not going to happen
as Wenger made Arteta the captain) and 1 top class
central striker (again unlikely to materialize).
Yes he could be alot better at finishing, but let's see, maybe we got a new sturridge... What I am mad on
Wenger about is not so much the lack of a proven
striker to our ranks... No it's that we haven't bought a
central defender to cover, but most important, we haven't bought a defensive midfielder, that we need so much!!?
Wenger makes the same mistakes over and over, everybody else can see it, just not him... hmm: / but still lets respect him
as a man and judge when we are atleast half way into the season... COYG!!!!
With Van Persie operating
as a lone
striker,
Wenger wanted to add a third
central midfielder and give his wide playmakers more attacking freedom.
With the signing of Draxler it is believed that
Wenger will be happy with the number of wide forwards at his disposal for next season which will include Welbeck, who
Wenger feels needs more time before playing
as the teams main
central striker.
Wenger will be letting go of both Podolski and Campbell to make room for a «special talent», a player who is capable of playing on either wing or
as a potential
central striker,
Wenger made Draxler his priority after Borussia Dortmund rejected any advance for their star
striker, Aubameyang, who would cost
Wenger over # 40 million, instead
Wenger opted for the cheaper yet equally talented Draxler for # 28.7 million.
Here's my take on Walcott; the typical English hype got to him and he over estimated his own abilities in recent seasons, wanting to play
as striker without first establishing himself
as a world class winger forgatting that even Henry, Ronaldo and even Messi had to first prove their undoubted abilities on the wing befroe going
central,
Wenger let him suit himself, he hit rock bottom when he wasn't even selected for the Euros and has finally decided to dust himself up and work his way back up, why cant we see that and just give him the necessary support?
Someone should please prevail on
Wenger NOT to sell Perez and to give him game time because he is a good versatile player that is pacy and can play on both wings and
as a
central striker.
Also, don't forget last season Sanchez scored most of his goals
as a
central striker until
Wenger moved him back to the left wing when his goals understandably dried up a little bit.
If Alexis starts
as a
central striker,
Wenger can also have a plan B with Giroud on the bench.
They need at least one top class
striker, a
central midfielder, a centre back and possibly a keeper, just
as Arsenal do and it already looks
as if they might beat
Wenger to a couple of the players supposedly at the top of the Frenchman's wish list.
im not Theos biggest fan but the way hes being treated right now i wouldn't be surprised if he left.Against Hull,
Wenger played a
central midfielder Ramsey on the wing insted of Walcott, then when he brought Ramsey off he brought on another
central midfielder Wiltshere, he only brought on Walcott lfor Giroud.If your Walcott what would you be thinking?Those of us who understand the way we play with 1 up top kow that Theo will never be our regular
striker because he doesn't have the necessary skills.His only real postion is on the right either
as an inside right or an out an out winger.The fact he doesn't track back alot may be reason why
Wenger does nt start him, but even so he must be fi.
Arsenal
Wenger has suggested something that absolutely none of us will want to hear,
as it seems that he has slyly ruled out the signing of another
central striker, in favour of a player already on our books — Alexis Sanchez.
If Sanchez scoring more goals and being three times the player Giroud is
as central striker can not hold the position in
Wenger's eyes why would this dutch player or last year Mbappe get a fair chance?
Wenger now says that he was correct to keep the money in the bank,
as he always knew that Theo Walcott would come good and become our main
central striker.
We need another proven goal scorer, whether that be from the right wing or
as a
central striker is up to
wenger to decide.
Also, in a widely expected move, manager Arsene
Wenger has chosen to start Theo Walcott
as the
central striker over Giroud.
Wenger has a
striker conundrum and went with Walcott ahead of Giroud, but if the England international wishes to be taken seriously
as a
central striker, he needs to start scoring the type of chances created in the early stages.
Wenger has already splashed out almost # 50 million this summer on adding Alexis Sánchez and Danny Welbeck to his attacking options but he regards Giroud
as the most natural target man in the main
central striker position and a player who offers something completely different to the rest of his squad.
As we gradually begin to countdown to the kick - off of the 2015/2016 EPL season with the compliment of a fully fit squad to select from (while still expecting few more summer signings), one debate that could be foremost on manager Arsene
Wenger's mind will be if Theo Walcott should be converted into a
central striker... Continue reading →
