the problem isn't cos he isn't WC, the problem is cos he is a rich man's Andy Carroll; I mean even Defoe that play for relegation candidate - Sunderland is a far better striker than him.he isn't WorldClass either Chicharito is also way better, he isn't a 30 - goal striker but when u play almost all games for a club with the creativity as Arsenal, scoring 30goals isn't a big deal.

I guess our big hope that Wenger means it when he says he is one for the future, (like Miyaichi, Inamoto and Park Chu Young I'm guessing), and he is STILL looking for that elusive top striker to start for the first team next season.

It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

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.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has previously overlooked the French striker when naming his starting line - up to take on the bigger teams in the division, and with close rivals Spurs coming up this weekend, there is calls that he should be given the nod for the crunch match.

But I think we could say the same of any big name forward that Arsene Wenger signs this summer and Giroud must be aware that his boss is looking to sign a top class striker for Arsenal, so I reckon we should keep that in mind when we hear what Olly had to say on the speculation surrounding his fellow countryman, as reported by Metro.

With him being the main striker, but being saved the whole hustle and bustle of big CBs only to make the right run and sneak in with a goal when neccesary, only that he doesn't offer the defensive cover Ramsey would and wouldn't stretch the opposition anywhere near as much as the Ox would if you need him to keep a fullback busy.

his 15 game w / o a goal is the biggest reason we finished 2nd, if we expect to compete in the epl for first, we simply need a 25 gps striker, getting a hat trick vs villa when it does not count for anything is not my idea of productive, world class strikers score in big games, ie: thierry henri

The Frenchman has 91 goals from 206 games while Adebayor got 62 in 142 and the fact that he is ignoring Giroud despite the big striker being on fire just proves that he does not know what he is talking about when it comes to Arsenal, wouldn't you agree Gooners?

Sanchez was very poor 2day & shld have been substituted earlier bt the boss decided 2 remove Walcott instead, the 1st goal against us was supposed 2 be disallowed as Bellerin was struck down & injured, arsenal played the 1st half without a recognised striker on the pitch meanwhile we had 3 recognised strikers on the bench & finally why do we always play with fear when we play against a big team?

Don't get me wrong — I said from the beginning that Benzema wouldn't be sold unless Real Madrid were replacing him, like they and Barcelona did with Özil and Sanchez — but the fact that we have an obvious need for a striker and a cover DM, Wenger / those in charge seem to be content with the current squad makes me sympathize with Robin Van Persie for leaving when he had bigger ambitions than what those in charge had.

Since then the Spaniard has had critics lay into him for not being Diego Costa, but like so many previous Chelsea strikers he seems to have that big - game knack, and came up with the goods on a night when Lukaku completely went missing.

but the way i see it is that if we wait till Deadline Day we will Probably sign 1 Player (a Striker or a CDM) when in this case we actually Need Both!!!!!! Theres no Point in signing Suarez on Deadline Day and yet leave the obvious CDM Position empty... just like we've been doing for the past years... We signed Özil on Deadline Day and that was it...... which shows that when you sign a Big Player on the last Day thats most likely going to be the only Business you do.

my preferred choice would be lacazette because of his age and and on top of his goals & he has a good few assists, i watched lukaku yesterday and the guy is no team player i understand that to be a good striker you have to be a bit selfish & self confident to a certain degree but he took it to far you could see de bruyne wasn, t happy with lukaku and when he had the chance to give lukaku the ball he didn, t and lastly he will be cheaper and might have a good chance to get him cos he wants to move to the pl but to a bigger team than west ham, spuds..!!

That won't work for a big striker like Welbeck, his frame is simply too big to be spinning in the box and when he waits for players to catch up so do the defenders!

and wenger is being a t ## t now you can not start the transfer window with sanchez and end it with a f» ing wellbeck i will be dissapointed if we get that desperate only big name striker now would be cavani but no point even saying it, we all know he thinks he has brought enough typical frustations for us gooners why can we challenge the big teams for the big players suarez to barca, I would of been happyt with balo liverpool, costa chelsea, if they do falcao united wich is a complete joke if he is happy going to united he would have been happier coming here with ucl and all, lewandowski bayern, its all a joke we better get a reus or something of equal measure you cant buy sanchez and place him as a striker when you need him as a winger if defeats the purpose we either get another winger or a striker.

Whether it's coming on late and physically imposing himself against a tired defense that's been given the runaround or starting (when in - form) and doing the same thing only for the tired out defense to brace themselves as we bring on that mobile striker we crave he has a big role to play for us.

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.

we need and have needed a better striker than Giroud for a long time and we are no closer to getting it now than we have ever been I stated a few articles ago that half our team are not in the world class catergory and I stand by that, we also have no «Big balls out» leader on the pitch who scares and rallies the troops in equal measure so that when the likes of Giroud are acting like he's just won the ballon D'or, the leader will tell him to pull his finger out..

As big a squad mancity has injury damaged their CL hopes last season, yep and they had four top strikers, they got back in the league when their players start returning from injury, Chelsea did not have a striker last year, liverpool did not have major injuries but had super strikers, arsenal had the most injuries and could have won it if we had brought in the ST and DM.

That is a big difference when you're talking about sustainability, but it's also a big difference when you're trying to grab the very best players to plug a gap in your team * cough * striker * cough *.

That is why Managers should sign their big outfield players in Summer not January January is for emergences I believe Wenger created a January emergency way back in the summer when he did not sign a single outfield player which is almost unheard of for a top European team We were all hoping for the likes of Krykowiak and a top striker which would have saved us searching in January for left overs

One of the biggest things that Arsenal fans learned from the Copa America final last night, when Chile took Argentina to extra time and then a penalty shoot out that they won, was how cool our striker Alexis Sanchez is under pressure.

Alexandre Lacazette is not the biggest or strongest of strikers and while the likes of Romelu Lukaku at Man United, Alvaro Morata at Chelsea, Salah at Chelsea and Gabriel Jesus at Man City had started the news season like trains, Lacazette's return was not so good and he had missed a great chance to take all three points off Chelsea when he put Ramsey's rebounded shot well wide.

Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...

We still have many gaps in our squad that we all know very well, with a big tactical gap in our manager's head, we need deseperately a FIRST CHOICE dmf, FIRST CHOICE STRIKER, AND A FIRAT CHOICE CENTER BACK alongside koscielny, Wenger has always kept it very late in the window until when we the fans become satisfied with any addition at the last minute

Giroud was always going to be the main striker still, throwing Perez in when he's clearly not ready was unfair, having him try and forge an understanding with Ox and Theo so early in a big match was an iffy call.

Fans have been calling out for a big - named striker to be signed in recent windows, although that urge was temporarily soothed early int he season, when Theo and OG were both in form and battling it out for a while.

The thing that really bothers me is the thing we've disagreed on in the past and that's imo Wengers apparent lack of Urgency and decisiveness when moving into the transfer window I know that Scheweinsteiger would be a great addition but He is somewhat over the hill in comparison to the others that are being toted about and while I know that we are not the cash Rich Man Poo or Man Sh!tty or Chelski I do know that we are at a point for the first time in ten years where we don't need to replace many players or are being frced to sell the quality ones we have, we are for the first time in a spot where we only need to add two or three players and we are there in terms of being able to compete, Id hate for the financial Exuberance to stop us taking that final stride forward into the competitive team we nearly are IMO spend the money now, get the striker, get the DM and we wont need to look at transfers in a big way again for several seasons and with that in mind Id rather have the likes of Benzema or Lacazetta or even Cavanni than a nearly over the hill Scheweinsteiger.

but look at the bigger picture, they bought Ozil, Sanchez, Cech, even Welbeck when a striker was badly needed and WENGER went AWOL these were positive moves.....

AW recently said theo (who will most likely be preferred as our lead striker through the middle) likes it best when he can play off a big powerful partner.

When he came to Arsenal it was predicted Ozil would attract all the worlds best strikers and big trophies were guaranteed for the Gunners.

Back in 2012 when the Polish international was with Bundesliga big guns Borussia Dortmund, the Red Devils were offered the opportunity to bring the striker to Old Trafford, but decided to weaken their opponents Arsenal rather than take the gamble on him.

he is not the scapegoat, the truth is that he is not the striker for big club like arsenal... And also it's because when we win, we are pretending that he is good enough... The truth is also that he have probably one of the best midfield line behind him, and he fail time after time... They all served to him like he is king... The term «striker» CF its little bit changed nowadays, i was thinking that they score goals, now they hold the ball...

I believe we don't have the striking power to break Chelsea, RM, BM, Barca, PSG, and even Utd (after improving their side)... Giroud is too handy against big experienced CB's and Walcott can not find his spot against deep and dense defense, Welback (I have hope in this guy) needs to step up his first touch, finishing, and hold up play... we need a wc striker much more than we need DM, because when Coq is fit (doubt that the case all over the season) we are fine in that department but ST even with all fit and inform we would find difficulties to break strong defenses (not Sunderland, WB, AstonVilla.

When you look at the other big teams, they all seem to have three world - class strikers in their ranks, and I believe we should follow suit.

Arsenal fans may sometimes be a bit down on the France international striker, but Olivier Giroud will be the toast of his nation this week after scoring the second goal, and what turned out to be the winner, in their final World Cup qualifying match, but will it be enough to convince Arsene Wenger to give the big centre forward a rare Premier League start when Arsenal travel to Watford on Saturday?
