since wenger chose (or failed) to
get a striker last summer, one of 2 things is true:
Not exact matches

get easy draw, Man United, Chelsea & Man City all on the road
Wenger had some negative experience with the fans
last year and i think he realise that there is a lot of hate festering that will come out if he does not
get a
striker, also he as said we needed replacement for Welbeck, he as already done the vardy bid and i expext him to try for another
Sometimes Wenger waits and waits until the end and doesn't
get anybody
Last season he
got cech and we waited all summer and instead of
getting a DM and
striker we badly needed he gave Walcott a huge salary and made him a
striker
Remember Chelsea
got further than we did
last year without a
striker.
I expect Giroud to
get a rest and Welbeck to replace him at centre forward, as the Frenchman could do with a rest and the England
striker could do with the game time, especially after doing so well against his former club in the
last round.
From what u saw in the
last 5 mins of the psg game, sanchez was struggling badly clutching his back etc surely he won't be 100 % and to throw him bk in the
strikers position to
get more knocks from the centre backs is criminal you ask me
If we had bought the clinical
striker this
last transfer window, played Ozil in his best position then perhaps Ozil would
get back to his best.
There is so much talk about
getting wingers and
strikers that we are all forgetting our stats from
last season.It was not scoring goals which was the problem (thanks to Alexis whom people have already started demonising for being ambitious) but its conceding goals which is our problem.So shouldn't the club be more focussed on
getting a CDM and a CB.
Same problems from
last season Which are intensity and tempo being to slow and the balance of the team looked completely wrong with a fake LW 3 cm's and a
striker who can't even control the ball and
get involved.
Sell Giroud even if he is important for us is the
last part of the game, but only if we
get a new
striker.
I just pray we
get the
strikers we need bcos they have been scarce since
last season that's why ManU had to gamble with Martial...
What about vincent janssen He has scored 14 goals in his
last 11 games and made 3 assists He is a complete
striker he can hold up the ball amd he can run behind defenders even he is not very fast he also play with his two legs and give very nice passes He is only 21 My ideal world will be if we
got a super
striker like zlatan and
get this guy for the next years I'm sure he will be a beast in the coming years
Funy enough
last season we needed
striker to win d league bt we forfit it in other for giroud to mk it to d world cup ok since ds window we stil hv not dress d isue, we
got fabrigas in a plata of gold wat happen we stil forfit it cuz it wil hender ramsey nd wilshere progression, We hav campbel bt we decide to go wit our super star
striker from france should i go on same tin wit squallci over cahil
Remember the
last time the England
striker was
getting towards the end of his deal?
But seeing our current
strikers got written off so easily by fan just piss me off Giroud is not there with Aguero, Rooney, Costa — But I take him over Dzeko, Remy, Falcao (at MU
last season) Walcott may or may not be the answer, we don't know yet, the
last few games look very promising — writing him off as not be able to play as Center Forward or can not hit the 20 + goals per season now is premature.
Don't
get it twisted
last year the only reason Chelsea didn't win was because they didn't have a decent
striker and they went and addressed that pretty quickly.
I mean look at carzola, he says outright without hiding that we need a
striker... about finishing strongly, we did that last season and the season after and the other after after a first leg screw - up... maybe ramsey loves his friends in the dressing room but saying that we need a few quality wouldn't have hurt anyone... we weren't able to beat the chelsea that hez talking about at home even with a full squad so i don't get his reference plus other teams are strengthening strongly and will only get better... man utd with a mediocre team played us like we were some kids FH at OT and we had no injuries... IF WE DO NT SIGN STRIKER we are doomed cz it» l be harder to beat even the smal
striker... about finishing strongly, we did that

STRIKER we are doomed cz it» l be harder to beat even the small teams
We need better though but I'm in full 100 % support of the purchase of Shkrodan Mustafi and Lucas Perez.Mustafi can help Koscielny now.I've been saying it here time and time again that it's not a world clsss
striker we have needed but a clinical finisher which we have lacked for several seasons and counting.Hopefully this guy puts Giroud where he belongs which is on the bench.Though a world class
striker is good what we have lacked is someone who puts the game to bed in clinical fashion but Arsene Wenger has listened to many people to the extent that if he can't
get a world class
striker then he can
get anyone.If Arsenal had a clinical finisher for some five seasons or so we coulda won the EPL then.Giroud has cost us matches and will continue to cost us matches.Giroud is half decent as someone said here the
last time.I expect Perez to be much better if he can take on his man and be clinical in front of goal.
the only thing our
strikers (whoever it will be) need to do is to convert created chances which we had plenty
last season and we are going to have them this season too... So, I'll put it simple: we need a
striker that doesn't s ** t his pants when he
get in front of the goal and hit the g ** d ** n target and score goals!!!!!!!!
But this is what McInally thinks about Wilshere going on loan
last season: «You've
got to admire him for actually saying he wants to stay at Arsenal considering Arsenal basically showed him the door,» the ex-Celtic
striker said.
We were too stubborn in
last 3 transfer windows and never
got us a world class
striker (Apologies to Perez, no apologies to Welbeck).
Wonder what you lots would be saying if we have bought fabregas and chelsea
got ozil with costa in front.and to all «if chelsea win the bpl, its cos of fabregas» announcers here, i say if chelsea win the league its cos of their whole team and most importantly costa.the thing that prevented them from winning it
last season was lack of a proper
striker like costa which jose testified to and not because they did nt create enough scoring chances (they created more scoring chances than us
last season).
I'm just wondering when the
last time Arsenal lost five away games in a row because Newcastle are
getting closer and closer to a third goal, and I haven't heard much mention of our
strikers in the
last 20 minutes!
Striker Gary Hooper, who made his Premier League bow
last weekend, could
get his first start after scoring twice in the League Cup win at Watford on Tuesday night.
The Togolese
striker is surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane after failing to break in manager Mauricio Pochettino's plans for large parts of
last season and it appears the club are desperate to
get him off the wage bill this summer despite the player only having one more year left to run on his current deal.
Even if Wenger were to
get a
striker on the
last day of the window, one still has to ask, why so late?
Regardless of peoles opinions on Vardy and his suitability with us he has scored more goals that our so called
striker It will be interesting to see what happens over the Euro's as France are a very strong team and if Giroud is leading the line and they do well, it could prompt other sied to look at him in a different light Wenger as usual will sit on his hands until the
last days of the window now he has brought on one player Forgey Mihkatarin we wont be
getting himdespite the fact he likes us Wenger WONT like his price tag
that has always been a lie, podolski
got enough games every year and yep he was our best finisher but
last time i checked football and wingers /
strikers had more to them than only finishing, of course its a good thing but podolski didn't offer anything else than having a shot when the ball fell to him or came to him, this would have been okay would he have been a
striker, but as a
striker he never performed
The decision not to
get a top
striker hurt us
last season.
By far the best article I have ever read on this site, there was no bias or empty statements, just cold hard facts, the writer even respected wengers budget but still pointed to where he should've improved, there are no excuses, what you read is literrally all u
get with arsene, if you gave him a budget of 9m or 1 billion, he will ALWAYS take the risk cause he doesn't give a fk about the consequences as if he was a teenager raging through puberty, his stubborn is absolutely pathetic, can you believe he turned down signing a keeper when almunia was shocking, can you believe he didn't sign a CB when squillaci was awful, can you believe that he REFUSED to sign a CDM for almost 8 years, CAN you believe on one of the most important transfer windows of arsenals history, arsene decided to go host charity matches in rome, that's right instead of trying hard for the fans that have respected him and pay him one of the highest managerial wages in the world, he decided to do what he pleased as usual, cause he doesn't answer to anyone, nor does he giving a flying fk, gazidis a man i thought was also a crook went and did arsene's job for him and at least
got us a
striker (which cost us the title in january
last season) and arsene foolishly proclaims that «if i was here we wouldn't of signed danny» meaning we wouldn't of had ANY recognised cf till giroud recovered, arsene wenger is a joke of the highest order, lack of respect, lack of shame and lack order, i despise him
Today you
get thumbed down for saying what we all seemed to realize
last season, if Giroud remains our starting
striker we will not win the PL.
If he is a one season wonder and can not recover
last years effieincy or if he
gets injured, we might regret not signing Schneiderlin more than not
getting Benzema or an other top
striker.
The story repeats, if anyone followed his stay with MANURE, he had flashes of brilliance everyone thought he was the next best thing, only to disappear as fast as he rose, he then spent half of
last season on the bench with Marouane, till MANURE found a team really desperate (US), who missed great opportunities to sign World class
Strikers, to dump him, better yet they
got TOP dollars for a barely above average Player....
something new for sure will happen at the very least we will be
getting new players the question being who...... a
striker with 30 goals abomyang a central defender a midfielder new maneger who diago simone will do well with atlatico or lazio he is connected to them arsenal needs some one within its ranks some one connected to them But today we seen an ugly encounter were certain players should have had the red i think technology should come in to it and players should be disciplined after The premier league is a physical strong competition to win it you
got to be very strong very accurate and very demanding and if you do not have the team to do it you do not win our team didn't live to exceptions of
last season so there for changes will have to happen
Obviously the 1st 2 are a little bit tricky to
get but the
last 3 are easier options of course when talking about proven
strikers: Lukkaku would be my bet as he has shown that he can be that 20 + in the EPL or Higuain as he seems to be embracing that role at Napoli and is clearly a 30 + goal scorer.
When was the
last time any UCL team
got into the finals without a top
striker?
He was joined by Michy Batshuayi
last week as the Chelsea
striker hit back at EA Sport after
getting on the scoresheet, while Chelsea ran a video on their official account revealing that a number of stars were disagreeing with their respective ratings.
I won't be surprised if Wenger misses out on a top
striker in this window because he was waiting and ends up
getting Llorente or Dzeko on the
last day.
If wenger is in right mind he should
get a «top - top»
striker nd dat wud confirm our PL title at leat if not the champion league too... i wud like him to release flamini and arteta (can be kept as u-19 coach though permanently) / rosiscky but i knw wenger wud keep the
last 2.
Well it depends what you mean by «Worked» If you mean staying in top 4, not challenging for 1st or CL, making profits by low spending then YES If you mean challenging for all Trophies, then NO
Last summer we only spent # 10 million and didn't
get the
striker we sorely needed.
Last season after we
got Cech early we waited and waited like dummies for a huge signing like
striker / dm and nothing (other than Adelaide)
Because Carzola is correct just like Monreal who made the point
last week about
getting a 20 plus goals
striker.
# 20m in today's market is nothing, and so what if we don't
get many seasons out him, as some people are suggesting, it's far better than the
last four years of the mediocre
strikers we've been used to!
Last season we needed a
striker and DM Coquelin's injury killed us and Giroud / Theo didn't score enough goals Cazorla's injury hurt us too but Wenger
got Xhaka so we don't need DM (even though he can play both B2b / DM)
he brought in a DM
last season, snapped up a WC goalie this season and on schedule to
get a WC
striker next season!
Theo always has a bad stretch of matches and Giroud is too inconsistent, hopefully we'll
get in another
striker who can
get thier boots on the end of Ozil's perfect passing, if not its going to be the same story as
last season... or worse
if he had that situation
last year he would have did it then too, thats what i'm trying to say, what you are saying is that he had changed from
last year, but he is the same as
last year, and to sanchez you implied that he is this good because of the moral impact of the new players and i just do nt believe in that, and thats why i wrote about the 6 goal - streak, he did nt need a moral impact its just that we have a better defense so that the
strikers get a lot more opportunities to attack a defense and not a packed bus after a lucky goal like
last year
the most obvious thing to look out for is the next up and coming 20 + a season goal scorer, thats where we should and could
get ahead of the pack because the likes of city and chelsea have
got last years model of
strikers.
I read that PSG are more willing to sell Ibrahimovic than Cavani, he is a bit old, will be 34 in October, but still a top class
striker... It will be very nice if we can
get him on loan or for cheap, because he can't
last much more longer, maybe 2 - 3 years in top level.
