Cazorla is far better than Ozil in my opinion... We wasted 42M to replace our best player (Cazorla was Arsenal best player the season before we bought Ozil)...

I get what you're saying I really do and maybe just maybe with a little luck we could have got a positive result but firstly my argument is why would you pay # 50m for a striker and not play him and why would you play someone in defence that's never played there before against the best team in England, secondly we have had referee decisions go our way many times but that's just how it goes.

That all threatened to change when Aguero got past Aurier just before the half hour mark and goalkeeper Kevin Trapp was forced to leave his goal to make a desperation challenge to keep Aguero at bay — but his tackle was clumsy at best, bowling the striker over and handing Manchester City a penalty, while earning himself a yellow card that could easily have been a red.

Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off

50 - 70 mil striker might win you crucial games in EPL and CL... If we got that one we won't be knocked out every time from 16 - round of the CL, we might have taken the chances that we had against Utd and Chelsea... With this type of thinking we lost our title the season before when we were top of the league and I genuinely believe we lost that to City because we did not add striker as a main reason...

Wenger was asked about this today, as reported by ESPN, and the reason for him not signing a centre back or a utility player before the end of the window, which many Arsenal fans were left baffled by, although at least we did get a striker in, even though the signing of Danny Welbeck may not have happened if Giroud had not been injured.

It is only a matter of time before we start getting lots of Arsenal transfer rumours linking us with a summer transfer bid for Romelu Lukaku, after it was revealed by Sky Sports and other sporting websites that the Belgium international star has rejected the new contract that is being offered to him by his current club Everton, so I thought I would get in early and ask whether you Arsenal fans out there would like the Gunners to go for this powerful, prolific and Premier League proven striker?

Welbeck needs to be give a decent run in the team as a striker before fans can start judging remember he played out on the left for a majority of games for man u and got very little chance to play as a striker hence thats why his goal scoring record looks nothing special but that can change with us he has good pace technically very good and i personally think he will do a good job just give him a chance!
