Also, look
at these Top teams strikers Barcelona: Suarez, Real Madrid: Benzema, Atletico M: Mandzucic, Jiminez Bayern Munich: Lewandowski Juventus: Vucinic, Morata, Tevez PSG - Cavani and Ibrahimovic City: Aguero, Dzeko, Bony, Jovetic Chelski: Costa, Remy, Drogba
Not exact matches
Compared to the
top teams, Arsenal look soft in midfield and defense and toothless
at striker.
Giroud misses more than he hits, Walcott has NEVER delivered his expected talent, Welbeck will NEVER be the
striker to score 20 goals a season Coqellin will NOT go a whole season injury or suspension free, Sanchez and Ozil WILL have down period during the season, all
teams have these problems to a greater or lesser degree but most of the
top teams will address these problems and players either inprove or are sold and replaced with better or
at least more consistant players, NOT Wenger he keeps doing the same thing over and over with the same players and he expects a different result but gets the same outvome time and time again, yet its ALWAYS someone else's fault be it the Ref or the linesman or the opposition or bad luck or whatever and whoever and its NEVER the fact that HE has done nothing to change the situation and LOOKS LIKELY to not change it next time around.
Which
top team will sell their best
striker at this stage in transfer window with not much replacement available?
If they come to the PL
at all they will go to the 3
top teams with new managers and big budgets, Wenger will not compete with them for
top strikers.
Uhh guessing this is a question from football retards exam night... We have one quality forward (currently off form) two decent
strikers who can deliver in bursts (but probably wouldn't make the bench of most of rival
top 10 european clubs we aspire to match) and three hugely overrated wing players who should be nowhere near starting in a
team aspiring for
top honours
at home and abroad... Conclusion we need
at least 3 new attacking options in the summer....
i get where you are going
at but not a lot of the
top teams were in the need of a
top striker the ones who were already bought a
striker at the start i.e. chelsea and man u and man city (nolito) and tottenham, of course there should have been other
top clubs in search of a
striker but i think it shouldn't be a knock - down that we were the only one who triggered the clause but i agree with all the other things you said the its absurd to compare him with griez and vardy and we have to be patient with him
Fair enough, I just wonder if he'd still be playing
top flight football if he had been
at United from the start with such a horrendous injury record, Fergie would have shipped him off ages before his eventual recovery, dare I say he was destined to win the Premier league the season he won it with United anyways, he was the hottest
striker in the league for those two seasons, the only thing we lacked in his final season
at Arsenal was enough creativity behind him and a lack of suitable replacement to take ocassionally take the load off him, but then Cazorla, Poldi and Giroud had been brought in for re-inforcements, he played with a patently inferior
team to Arsenal's that season
at United, with the exception of Rooney of course, he single handedly carried them to the title, what away to show loyalty.
Having added a
striker and midfielder, a central defender is arguably next
at the
top of his to - do list as he looks to rebuild the spine of a
team that finished 10th in the Premier League last season and is short of options
at the back with John Terry, Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma arguably not enough.
we have
at most 4 real quality outfielders i.e. players that other
top european
teams would take... ozil sanchez santi and kos... in my books you need 6... we are two short but worse the quality of others is lower than needed... only bellerin coq and wilshere have that potential... and there are problems with each still... we should have put in bids in june for griezman kondogbia and the Burussia
striker as all could have been prized away with right bid plus players thrown in IMO... now its too late and wenger is in some weird gallic world of existential hope and denial and fans are just praying we do nt lose opening 2 matches for first time in over two decades... but no one is really confident against a
team which is sure to finish around mid table...
Clearly borussia dortmund consider that they need a
top striker in their
team to maintain the share price, even
at the expense of the
striker then leaving for free.
He would have a free run
at cavani asŵell because all the
top teams have very good
strikers.
i think if we by any chance got griezmann that would be awesome, against bus parking
teams like norwich we could play with a
top 2 with griezmann and giroud they can play very well with eachother and griezmann could get on to girouds flicks and knockdowns and griezmann does play in a
top2
at atletico and against the most
teams griezmann could play as a lone
striker, but anyway i do nt think he will leave atletico
He won trophies with guys like Henry, Bergkamp, Ian Wright All the PL winning
teams had very good to great
strikers ie Vardy, Costa, Aguero, RVP, Rooney, Ronaldo, Drogba, Tevez, Van Nistleroy, Henry, Bergkamp, Ian Wright All these
strikers have scored over 20 goals in a season Very rarely do PL Champions have a
striker who scores less than 20 goals and mostly score in the mid 20's Wenger doesn't understand this and wants to believe its not necessary or He probably believes Giroud is WC
Top teams usually have a backup of Giroud's quality Look
at Spurs.
I think it goes back to the van persie deal where Wenger sold a ready made cloth perfect for a goalscoring situation went to United and arsenal
at that juncture did not need a
top quality
striker but moving into 2015 arsenal definitely need a
striker but Wenger wants somebody who can do it and be relied upon till the whole
team gets motivated and gets good patch of form themselves
His repeated failure to get
top level
strikers indicates to me not only cheapness but it implies he and his
team are just not very good
at winning these battles.
We should stop promoting Wilshere because he an English man for now that guy is not yet fit to play for England
team, likewise for his club period, Arsenal is looking for aggressive and a speedy
striker to enable compete for the
top four not someone that will play today and tomorrow his off and dismantle the clubs plans because of injury or that, is it not the same Wilshere that some of the fan where criticizing him for all sort thing and call for his exist
at Arsenal because he was a smoker and indiscipline?
Giroud just is not good enough and thats the facts here, we would have been three goals up with a real world class
striker, regardless of Ozil and sanchez current form if we had brought in a real DM player then we'd have won points
at other games and this would be just a blip,
teams do loose games and they do have off days, the real problem lays in the fact that Wenger has no real
top notch choices to mix and match with is he has slumps with his current squad.
Bring in one other
top defensive mid-fielder (oh and a world class
striker whilst you
at it) and then I think we have the
team to genuinely challenge all in the land
Giroud is just a # 2 or # 3
striker for a
top team —
at best.
I understand what you're saying bounty hunter, but I feel like the week prior to big games should be enough time to
at least tweak our formation slightly or employ a certain tactic, whether it's counter attack with less possession or playing with two
strikers up
top instead of the lone
striker, I would hope that players
at the level required for arsenal would be able to adjust to this as it seems I tend to hear other
teams coming away from big wins uttering phrases like «we worked on the manager's ideas this week and executed them well», I cant remember our players saying this for a while.
In the envisaged revamping of the Arsenal first
team squad during the in - coming summer transfer window for next season's campaign during which
at least 2 world class players are expected to be signed by Arsenal in addition to keeping Ozil and Sanchez, and some underperforming Gunners for 3 consecutive seasons allowed to leave on the expiration of their contract deals this season or be sold if their deals are still active to recoup some funds used in signing the 2 world class players in addition to the signing of 3 other
top quality new players making them 5 in numbers of: a LB, a DM, an AMD, a versatile world class Winger & a world class
Striker whom Arsenal should sign during the summer imho.
We have one
top quality
striker (Sanchez) one decent
striker (giroud) one dillusional
striker (Walcott) one aspiring
striker (welbeck) and one novice
striker (Akhpom) = 3rd place finish
at best (if one of Manchester
teams falters)... Need a quality option on front line somewhere... Wenger knows it but afraid of hurting bottom line of his paymasters
even when he suffered a serious knee injury, instead of accepting the fact that he would never stick his legs into the spaces that were crucial for someone with straight ahead speed to succeed, the club actually contemplated giving him a chance to play up
top where his lack of physicality, size and holding up play talents would been on display for all to see... these are not the actions of a club that really cares about winning
at the highest levels, but they are the actions of a club that wasn't interested in spending the necessary resources to purchases a world - class
striker, which is usually the most expensive position on the pitch... instead we adopted the horrible phrase «like a new signing» and proceeded to allow this ridiculous experiment to carry on, which ultimately caused some discomfort on the training pitch and inside the locker room as players battled for a position that shouldn't have been theirs for the taking in the first place... don't get me wrong, I believe that Walcott is a talented player, who can help a
team reach their goals, if their goals are relatively modest... just look
at the
teams who supposedly expressed interest in his services and they weren't the kind of clubs who aspire to win
at the highest levels... as for the reasons why he hasn't been bitching and moaning about moving on just look
at the wage benefits he receives from our club and his obvious desire to enjoy the societal advantages that come with playing in North London for a club with worldwide appeal... so instead of continuing to try to fix a coat with a broken zipper simply move on and buy a new and better coat
It is other players in the
team that have made Vardy the
top striker of last season and
at Arsenal we have a different set of players who can do much more but Vardy would limit their capacities.
Most importantly if you look
at the squads of the
top teams in Europe,
Striker is the main position where our quality is definitely lacking, every other position I think we are competitive.
simple, we were
top of table more than any other
team last year, only loss in back that started was sagna, we managed last year w arteta & flamini, of course I want to strengthen there, but the glaring issue to me is
at striker, we have a full complement of good to mediocre
strikers, adequate but not going to compete season long against city and chelsea, in my opinion, back line fine, DM needs upgrading, attacking midfield strongest in EPL, central
striker??? put a thierry henri on this squad in his prime, we win the league,
Even though Alexis Sanchez has just returned to north London after an energy sapping return trip to South America where he played one home game for Chile and the other World Cup qualifier in Bolivia, you would expect Arsene Wenger
top make the
striker one of the first names on the
team list to face AFC Bournemouth
at the Emirates stadium this weekend.
point two, if you want to finish above the other
top 3, should you not have a featured
striker that would start on
at least one of those three
teams?
As it stands, this squad is fairly well positioned to compete for the Wenger Cup and make a deep run in the Europa, if and only if we play first stringers in Europe and use the bench for the League and FA Cups... that being said, and based on the fragility of the manager and the
team in recent campaigns, it's more likely that Wenger will focus on a
top 4 finish and the FA Cup... while the reasons for such an approach may appear logical, it would confirm a rather disturbing trend and appear counter intuitive for any
team which claims to have higher aspirations... I feel that Wenger simply can't afford to put all his eggs in the Europa basket because if he fails the potential backlash could cripple any
top 4 chances due to the aforementioned fragile psyche that tends to rear it's ugly head like our own personal groundhog day each and every February... furthermore, can you even imagine Wenger bringing in the necessary recruits to adequately supply
top quality lineups in a Thursday / Sunday dominated schedule; based on everything I've seen in recent years, I can't see that happening... in fact, mark my words, it's more likely that we see Lacazette playing out wide in Alexis's position with Giroud
at striker, than we see Wenger make the necessary moves to right this ship... god, I hope I'm wrong but is it really that far - fetched considering what we've witnessed for past several years
He is obsessed with the midfield we need a

All I'm saying is that Lacazette should
at least be used as often and the same way other
top teams use their main
strikers.
Walcott is centre - forward because Wenger failed to get a
striker by deadline day because of his nauseating incompetence
at haggling or paying what
teams ask for... and so far Walcott is proving what I have said for seasons now, he is not a centre - forward
at the standard required for
Top 4 clubs with high ambitions, pots of cash, high capacity stadiums.
totally agree with the poldi Comment His cologne loyalty aside he can make a great
striker at many
top teams
we still need to sort out why every season most of the
team gets injured and stuffs us up, we need a dfm who can cover cb if injuries, flamini is crap
at dfm no pace but yet ended up putting him
at right back wtf, still need that world class
striker every
top team has
Failure to strengthen
at key times in either the summer or january is nothing short of brainless and ambitionless especially for a
top team with champions league and premier league ambitions (sorry we are there to make up the numbers) Year after year we see either a
striker midfielder or defender become injured and we lose momentum because either the board or Wenger see otherwise..
Coaches are paid to produce results on the pitch and yo win trophies for the
team.If a coach fails those basic things then he is not go enough and must leave.Sucess or failure comes down to the decisions of the coach ranging from decisions in the transfer market, training methods,
team selection, tactics etc.Looking @ the transfer market - Wenger has a shambolic record - failure to act decisively and always acting when it's too late, selling our
top players to rival clubs, leaving other positions thin and reinforcing wrong positions especially buying lots of attacking midfielders ignoring defensive positions and failing to buy
top class
strikers or decent
strikers.If Wenger is really serious about winning trophies would he buy a player like Welbeck a fourth choice play
at Man United whom Vaan Gaal said is only good for the bench and now he plays every game
at Arsenal.Why sell Vemaleen and buy Chambers?
I like Giroud, Theo & Welbs, but I doubt they will be sufficient enough for us to win the title this season, although I wish they could and I do see the potential in Theo and Welbs to become
top class
strikers, AFC is an injury hit
team every season and I already know
at some point we will be missing 1 or 2 of them, amongst others in dif positions positions.positions.
Sadiq was introduced as a second half substitute with the game heading for what looks like a draw as scores was
at 0 - 0, the giant
striker who finished as
top scorer for Nigeria
at the Rio 2016 Olympics scored what ended as the winner for his
team.
Giroud must compete for that position with Lord Bendtner as he is abit hungrier for goals than Giroud who loves playing as an attacking midfielder.He is just not good enough.Scoring one goal for the sake of discharging you duty is a joke which i thought Wenger shouldn't condone
at all.He has seen great
strikers and am sure in his hearts of hearts he knows Giroud is not good enough.Had he not been French he wouldn't have been guaranteed a place
at the Emirates and neither of the other
top 4
teams would entertain his mediocrity.
Whilst Colombian star -

at the moment,
at least not on the pitch... been a while since we had a
top striker..
But the over-riding factor is that he scored on just four occasions against a
team in
top half of the Premier League (Southampton, Leicester City, Chelsea x2) and for a
striker at Liverpool, he's expected to make an impact in the big games.
The 20 - year - old

If we don't sign Falcao then we definitely need a
