I think Milik from Ajax is more suited to make an impact in our team if we are going to take
a chance on a striker from the Eirdivisie with 23goals in 37app doesn't look great when compared to Jannsen but 7app were in the Europe where he 2 goals.
Did it put
the chance on the striker's favoured foot?
As reported by Sky Sports today, however, Arsene Wenger is not willing to take
a chance on the striker's fitness and will get the club's medical team to make sure that Alexis would not be risking injury by starting at Man United before he decides on his starting line up.
Not exact matches
We still miss obvious
chances and i would feel much better if i depend
on strikers to win muches than golazos from defenders snd midfielders..........
goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something when Giroud misses many
chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based
on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has Giroud as the main cf and Welbeck as backup to him.Giroud has done well scoring some goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based
on content.Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of play is ok for us but a
striker who can take
on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works
on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works
on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but as the saying goes if you fool me once shame
on you but if you fool me twice shame
on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?
I think Theo may have had his
chance and he needs to concentrate
on being a winger, he is not a
Striker and never will be.
If I was Wenger then I would definitely ask the question at least and while I was at it I would politely remind the German club that they really need another
striker, because they are the poor club that has taken a
chance on the superstar that is Nicklas Bendtner.
So Walcott will partner the in form Spurs
striker Harry Kane in front of a midfield diamond and that should offer him a
chance to show his pace, movement and finishing
on the big stage.
Reading the thread
on this article and I noticed a lot of people naming
strikers we could have gotten in past transfer windows that have gone to other club and failed, Balotelli, Falcao, Martinez, Boney etc are recurring 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.
In another Metro report the national boss Roy Hodgson explained that the Arsenal
striker has a dead leg from training and that will almost certainly rule him out of England's clash with Germany today, a match where his pace
on the counter attack was probably his best
chance of an appearance.
To all giroud bashers, who claimed other
strikers would score 30goals for all the
chances wil created, man city, liverpool actually created more scoring
chances than us which depicts that our midfielders need to create more to meet up with these teams and our fans must stop picking
on players to attack.
He was given
on of the best
strikers in the world and he set up a team who failed to create a single
chance for him.
We need a
striker who will shoot
on target any
chance he gets instead of trying to pass to others, we need another dimension to our game.
If you prioritise and say put the xhaka deal
on hold until a
striker is sorted then there is a good
chance that the player will go elsewhere.
This is exactly the type of versatile player that Arsenal need right now, as he can play as a winger or a
striker, and anyone who can score 8 La Liga goals in 10 games (while not playing for Madrid or Barcelona) is definitely worth taking a
chance on, especially for a price that works out at just over 14m GBP without any haggling.
Would it not be a good idea to have him play as our main
striker, whereby he can be useful in converting more of our
chances on a regular basis?
Then he never got a real
chance to own the central
striker role which blew his confidence, yet neither did he get put back
on the right wing and told that this was his only
chance to feature.
With Arsenal having already announced the signing of the German international centre back Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia and the Spanish
striker Lucas Perez from Deportivo La Coruna this week, the
chances of Arsene Wenger adding any more players to the Arsenal squad
on transfer deadline day are much smaller.
It must be said that Just Arsenal readers have been suggesting that the big gangly
striker Yaya Sanogo should go out
on loan, if only to give Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell a better
chance to get some more game time
on the pitch, now it seems that we are gong to get our wish.
Giroud is tied
on three with Bale, Payet and Morata but the Spaniard's tournament is over and with the Arsenal
striker leading the line for France who are now scoring freely I think he has a good
chance of finishing
on top.
The Arsenal transfer rumours are a little thin
on the ground at the moment with Arsene Wenger over at the Euros as usual, so I thought I'd have a little peek at what the bookies are forecasting the
chances of the Gunners landing any big name
strikers if the Jamie Vardy saga fails to come to fruition.
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 personally don't, he misses too many
chances to be relied
on Had it not been for Moses, we'd have dropped points cause he missed a one -
on - one, same way we dropped points in the 2 - 2 against Arsenal cause he missed 3 (THREE) one -
on - ones I really think we should be looking for a reliable
striker, and start considering putting Morata
on the bench
The top 5
strikers in the PL
on chance conversion rate were: Bendtner, Adebayor, Cole (as in Carlton!)
I don't know where fans get this idea that most
strikers score
on most of their
chances.
Arsene Wenger started with Olivier Giroud as
striker in that game, and took a
chance of putting Alexis
on as a sub, despite only being with the squad for one week.
d term» world class» is used loosely... giroud is a good
striker but showed y he can't b trusted as our no9... missed easier
chance but still scored... don't care if u sai he's not good enough but since he plays for AFC, I'll cheer him
on for France 24/7... when he's at arsenal, plays like a donkey and he turns to s ** troud, then I'll change my tune... OT, did u see pogba??? believe he has gotten carried with d hype «golden boy of France»....
Unfortunately, an unfortunate foul off a Giovinco corner gave Toronto a
chance to take the lead
on a penalty, which the Italian
striker promptly converted past Red Bulls star goalkeeper Luis Robles.
Arsenal rejected the
chance to sign former Tottenham Hotspur and current Toronto FC
striker Jermain Defoe
on transfer deadline day
on Monday, reports the Telegraph.
All the previous posts
on Walcott as a no no
striker eat ya heart out, can't wait for Stoke game and hope he gets his
chance to squash his enemies Go the Gooners CB
guy couldnt pass the ball wright, can not shot, not just he missing
chances but he miss the ball all the time, slowing the tempo, no pace no speed old story,
on one
on one no way he can pass the player, dribble like my grandma... and you tell me how the guy with this attributes can be no. 1
striker and play in the best league in the world and probably one of the best clubs in the world... as long as i am alive i would ask myself how giroud stray in arsenal and be no. 1
striker... even my little cousin make a jokes about him, its obvious like a day... guy is laughingstock!!!
After equalizing at the 72 ′ mark
on a strike from Roberto Firmino, Benteke had a
chance to make a last - second
chance on the goal, but he was lightly tripped up by Palace defender Damien Delaney — earning a penalty in the process despite complaints that the Belgian
striker took a dive.
It seems a bit harsh as Aubameyang played for Dortmund in the Champions League but those are the rules, so how could the super quick
striker have any affect
on the
chances of Arsenal winning the trophy in May?
For sure, Giroud is not the best
striker, but he is a decent target man, and
on a night with few
chances, he played his part.
Reason is, I think if we stopped depending
on Giroud for goals, and stuck more to him being a dummy for others to run around, we'd score more goals than having an out and out
striker that waits for
chances, rather than makes them for others.
he's just looking
on to see what kind of attacker (whether a winger or WC
striker) we buy so as he can weigh his
chances.
Either we play with Theo at
striker from the start and give him a
chance to establish himself and his runs, or he comes
on in a supporting, stretching role.
I think Lucas» primary role at Arsenal will be as a
striker, but as Wenger seems to want to stick with using a formation that sees one sole
striker supported by two wingers, I still think Giroud still stands
on having the better
chance of playing in that spot.
I think only barca real or Bayern can tempt those players away from leicester, they would give at least a year to the club, but season after that they will move onto other club depending
on their form next season.As for arsenal transfer i wouldn't want to listen to rumours as most of the times these rumours are just utter garbage.i want a certain rumour about Wolfsburg signing giroud to be true.Anyways if our idiotic manager has some sense left in him after an embarrassing season he should get a premium
striker which the club needed for past 4 years.He need to put his ego aside and his old philosophy of waiting for players to develop.We need already established players in every department of our team.Penny pinching has cost us just pay the damn money get the players.I get the feeling next season is going to be harder and we have less
chance of winning cause man city have had 2 seasons without premier league and guardiola is gonna bring more quality and hunger to that team.
Welbeck as a
striker costed us the title while giroud was out injured, if it was not for those girue goals after the injury we could not finish in top four however he is not good enough to win the title for us, I think akpom and Walcott have it all that we are lacking in girue Wenger should give them a
chance, otherwise if we can get aubemayang I can bet my manson
on wining the title he can play anywhere in front attack and scored 25goals from the wing
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
People will then be excited about the beginning of the following season thinking we going to pick up from where we left off, then
on the 3rd game we will realise that nothing has changed.We will still have Wenger as our manager, mediocre players, shambolic defence, a
striker that scores 1 of the 5
chances he gets, no DM, BFG as vice captain, Arteta leading the team as our DM, Sczerny in goal and a medical room filled with half our squad.
Being resolved can lead him into making inept decisions, this is Arsene Wenger we are discussing I won't be shocked at all
on the off
chance that he says we have Sanogo and Akpom as
strikers we have Walcott who's returned revived in the wake of being scorned by Britain to play
on the wings
I anticipate greatly the continuance of platitudes and adulation for Lord Theo — and even more so for the endless Theo for Centre - Forward, Theo should be playing down the middle, Theo is our best
chance of goals if he plays as
striker and so
on.....
Robbie Keane — Whether you agreed with the signing of the Tottenham man or not, Rafa failed to give the
striker a decent
chance and clearly his lack of confidence in the Irishman had a negative influence
on the forward.
My opinion is lets say he creates anywhere between 5 and 10
chances in a game well Id say
on average maybe two or three of these could be clear cut (one
on one with GK or free shot in the area) That is still unbelievably difficult thing to do and
strikers should be scoring at least one from three clear cut openings.
Chances are we'll at least see the new
striker and Messi
on the pitch at the same time.
When you have a player in the side like Ozil who creates
on average five
chances a game, a world class
striker unlike Theo or Olivier would be netting 30 a season.
But it seems to depend
on things beyond the control of Arsenal, so there is also a very real
chance that the French
striker will stay at Real Madrid.
Arsene Wenger has been speaking to Arsenal Player this week and has put the emphasis
on things like discipline, focus and managing games better, not the
strikers missing
chances.
