Seeing as we need more than one main striker well then you could argue that the three of them are definitely better than our second or third
choice striker so are a mark up in quality.
he has acknowledged the fact we need another striker and also talked of competition for places so the way I see it he will bring in a striker and it will be up to Giroud to make the top striker role his by outperforming whoever we bring in... we all know and agree Giroud is not good enough to be the main man for us but we cam all agree he will be a fantastic 2nd
choice striker so the manager will not crush his brittle confidence by dissing him publicly....
Giroud wont stay as 2nd
choice striker so sell him.
Flopcao is drogbas replacement, drogbas was almost the third
choice striker so I excpect to see flopcao spending most of his time at Chelsea on the bench.most importantly we have got cech, mourinho having nightmares about this.he knows we are the strongest team to challenge them.
And they are their club's first choice strikers, so it would be difficult for the clubs to sell first
choice strikers so late in the transfer window, as it is hard to replace them.
Not exact matches
So like I stated earlier, if you want a
striker, then Walcott is your
choice, but if you want a winger, then Sterling over Walcott.
Add that to the fact's that he is only looking for a
striker because of Danny Setbeck's longterm injury and that Giroud will be our main
striker next season,
So the answer to this equation is» Don't expect much» (Start looking for a fourth and fifth
choice?)
Given that Alexis has been firing on all fronts as a
striker, it's difficult for Lucas to therefore be integrated as a first
choice striker at the current moment,
so perhaps the Spaniard will have to find his break at Arsenal on the wing instead.
So to choice striker, Theo may have ruled himself out with his wing statement, so it would seem a direct fight between Welbz and Girou
So to

Perhaps the best
striker to ever pull on a Chelsea shirt, Didier Drogba is an obvious
choice up front in Lampard's dream lineup after
so many memorable games for the London giants.
Quick notes on arsemal team 1 - paulista is not good as i though 2 - coquelin is essential in arsenal midfield to give stability but he can't hold the ball in his feet or give the right pass in the right time
so we can't dominate teams anymore especially with santi absence 3 - ramsey = horrible, just a headless chicken running everywhere 4 - ozil could have easily 30 + assists by now 5 - Olivier Giroud the handsom french guy shouldn't ever be a big team first
choice striker 6 - where are the 4 world class
strikers that wenger said we had i didn't se anyone of the yet
The Premier League is back this weekend and there are some interesting
choices to be made with regards to picking your team, none more
so than who to fill in for Diego Costa upfront as the Chelsea
striker starts a three - match suspension.
He's not my ideal
choice, but he is up there,
so long as we get a
striker Id be happy to see us sign Marhez.
but, here's a little reminder of his importance (i) upon arrival his was the goal that catapulted into th CL; (ii) when others were tired and unable to respond he has the strength of character to fight to bring us into the game; (iii) he scores the goal to save us face in FAC after last seasons fiasco; (iv) he is without equal our best player
so he already earned the right to be in the highest bracket of epl
strikers, we need sanchez desperately we've no
choice other than to pay # 320K + and build into his deal performance rated enhancements
so as we're all able to move forwards.
When Wenger sent Akpom out on loan I thought that he did that
so that Iwobi could move up to third
choice striker this season.
Lucas can play LW as well as
striker Alexis can play both wings Then you have Iwobi, Walcott
So we have different
choices
Wenger activiting Vardy's release clause, just goes to show that he isn't looking to sign a top top strike,
So wheres the logic in looking at WC
striker's now, when Wenger's first
choice was a mere gap filler for Welbeck?
On that basis Giroud doesn't have much competition and
so on paper he should be listed as a first
choice striker.
It's not easy to get the best
strikers so us having Auba makes a difference to the manager
choice.
I personally would not have Lacazette as my first
choice striker (would prefer Auba) but for the love of God if we're gonna get him can it just happen already
so I don't have to listen to Aulus» bs anymore.
Arsenal have already sold Afobe and sent out Podolski, Sanogo and Campbell out on loan,
so there is probably room for another
striker if none of those come back, although Danny Welbeck will probably have to drop down to being third
choice for the centre - forward spot.
So wid cb done, doubts still remain over depth of cdm and a first
choice striker, along wid d arising need of a top gk.
Wow,
so technically we bought mu's fourth
choice striker.
the problem is that walcott is
so poor at the moment and Welbeck was not much better than Giroud as sole
striker either
so wenger is caught to the
choice of 2
strikers who perform just occasionally
Apparently the Gunners were the next
choice for Mbappe because of Wenger's reputation for developing
strikers and because he would certainly play a lot,
so have Real Madrid just set this huge summer transfer ball rolling?
Theo isn't 1st
choice CF, Giroud fights to win the ball back and I believe Theo needs to learn that but he does offer a great «Plan B» during a game, if Giroud can't do the job or we want to hold a lead then play deeper with faster
strikers for counter attacking football instead of
so much possession bassed.
Giroud, who has been our first
choice striker for at least the last four years, seems to have disappeared
so far this season, with a contribution of many combining factors sealing his fate on the team.
The
striker doesn't seem to be a firm favourite first
choice of any transfer intentions,
so perhaps that's why he phone hasn't been ringing as of yet.
Can we just let the topic go already, not as if we have any other
choice now
so why beat it to death, or is going on and on a about it going to materialise a new
striker out of nowhere?
people are going on about the number of goals he scored or lack of them more precisely but morata for the majority of the season was used as an impact player / sub, also like the writer mentioned as both RM&JUVE he was overshadowed by great players / stars
so if if he were to sign for us knowing that he is the 1st
choice striker he could flourish and surprise us all!!
, its not gonna happen Right now, we are not spoilt for
choice as far as a
striker is concerned,
so Lacazette is better than nothing....
I am not surprised about this old senile man called Arsene Wenger he has really lost it, because Giroud scored a hat trick against aa already dead Villa
so he wants to keep him as his first
choice striker.
I personally don't see Wenger buying 2
strikers in the same window but if 1/2 mentioned above feels that it's time for him to move on for various reasons then he'll probably have no
choice more
so if the club is able to get between 15 - 20m which is exactly how much Arkadiusz Milik & Vincent Janssen would cost.
We can not be sure but I strongly suspect that the
striker would not be keen to fight for a place at Man City with Aguero or with Kane at Tottenham either
so can you think of a Premier League club heading for a Champions League place that needs a new first
choice centre forward?
Martinez looks great on Youtube (I watched too) but fact is that he is only third
choice striker behind Falcao / Bacca in the Colombia lineup —
so to the expert he may not be that great.
@almostawinner I totally agree with you we are good at creating chances we reach very good positions but giroud is less than average he won't even play at some mid-tables teams beleive me he can't dribble he rarely take long ranged shots he is not the best at movement I don't understand what do arsene wenger see in him to rely on him as our first
choice We were going to get a
striker three years ago (higuain) but the deal failed in the last second because wenger prefered to get ozil
so what did giroud do to prove that he deserves his position can anybody tell me I really get mad when some arsenal fans tell that he is a good player because he is not!!
They also lost their main
striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and sold David Luiz to Chelsea,
so with Thiago Silva out of action they will be without their two first
choice centre backs from last season.
And you expect Madrid to sell to us Benzema
so that we can have four
strikers but for them to play with their second
choice Jese and to remain with only one
striker through three competitions.
Wenger has options as well, with Giroud having featured in both of the games for France during this international break,
so with Mourinho missing two first
choice centre backs in Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly as well as their main
striker, should Man United fans be very worried about what the Arsenal attack will do to them on Saturday?
While the home team will be without their first
choice centre forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic because the Swedish
striker picked up a fifth yellow card of the season in their last game, Wenger will be able to name the same front three that have been doing
so well for us recently.
Whether it was his personal
choice to go out wide
so Kane is the lone
striker, or instructions from the manager, it should never, ever be done again.
Harry Kane, who is the favourite to be the topscorer next season with Premier League betting odds of 3/1 according to bet365, is the first -
choice striker for the North London outfit at the moment and will continue to be
so, but the England international needs a back - up.
my
choices: gk: Dino Zoff Defenders: Roberto Carlos, Paolo Maldini, Beckenbauer, Bobby Moore (because Pele said
so) Midfielders and
Strikers: Pele, Johann Cruyff, Roberto Baggio, Zidane, Muller, Ronaldo (the Brazilian)
Chelsea's first -
choice striker Diego Costa has managed to scored only two goals in the Premier League this season
so far, while Loic Remy has also failed to make an impact this season as the Blues find themselves in 16th position in the league table, one point behind Norwich City.
Everton's failure to sign a
striker last summer to replace Romelu Lukaku left Koeman
so short of options he had no
choice but to bring Niasse back into the fold.
For example, if Wenger had actually added another
striker that would provide cover for Giroud and compete for the starting eleven, there's also a player who will move from second to third
choice and
so on.
Lacazette coming in as number one
striker pushed Perez down to 5th
choice striker (Lacazette, Giroud, Welbeck, Sanchez),
so he was always going to fall out the other end.
The performance against Sporting was very poor thanks in part to a weird tactical
choice by Valverde: he went with a 4 -2-2-2 formation that lacked width and depth, and Lionel Messi was moved from the False Nine role where he's played
so well to a second
striker alongside Suárez, perhaps in an attempt by Valverde to get the Uruguayan more involved and firing again.
The 22 - year - old is keen on a move to Spurs, and will also be keen to make his name in a Spurs shirt, and would have a huge job ahead of him if he is to take Harry Kane's starting spot,
so it is more than likely that if he was to arrive, it would be as second
choice striker.
