Just putting it out there but I would like to see the Ox given
a go as a central striker sometime during the season.
Not exact matches
We still need 3 players; 1 CB (Miquel may be the one), 1 top class DM (not
going to happen
as Wenger made Arteta the captain) and 1 top class
central striker (again unlikely to materialize).
Sanchez
going to Real would not see him
as the
central striker around whom everything is build.
Wenger will be letting
go of both Podolski and Campbell to make room for a «special talent», a player who is capable of playing on either wing or
as a potential
central striker, Wenger made Draxler his priority after Borussia Dortmund rejected any advance for their star
striker, Aubameyang, who would cost Wenger over # 40 million, instead Wenger opted for the cheaper yet equally talented Draxler for # 28.7 million.
Here's my take on Walcott; the typical English hype got to him and he over estimated his own abilities in recent seasons, wanting to play
as striker without first establishing himself
as a world class winger forgatting that even Henry, Ronaldo and even Messi had to first prove their undoubted abilities on the wing befroe
going central, Wenger let him suit himself, he hit rock bottom when he wasn't even selected for the Euros and has finally decided to dust himself up and work his way back up, why cant we see that and just give him the necessary support?
As long as Giroud is the striker and Metesacker central defence Arsenal will go nowher
As long

striker and Metesacker
central defence Arsenal will
go nowhere.
Walcott had been asking for more minutes
as the
central striker, so this should help with contract negotiations,
as well
as we don't really give up anything since Sanchez, Walcott and Welbeck are all
going to end up switching positions throughout the match anyways.
If like the last two seasons we are
going to
go for a single world class player then we could possible
go for Pogba, but that would still leave potential problems in
central defense and
striker positions and possibly Goalkeeper
as well.
It is clear that if we
go for Sterling, he is head and shoulders above the ox on the wings, which means Theo plays
as central striker and we will thus not get a new
striker - which I was hoping will be Higuain.
Wenger has a
striker conundrum and
went with Walcott ahead of Giroud, but if the England international wishes to be taken seriously
as a
central striker, he needs to start scoring the type of chances created in the early stages.
Mourinho instead
went with Eden Hazard
as his
central striker and a fluid front four which caused Spurs problems.
Del Bosque's Spain will probably be
going with the same starting line - up started against France in quarter - finals with Cesc Fabregas playing in the
central portion of the attack
as False No. 9 along side, David Silva and Andres Iniesta; whereas Bento's Portugal will be replacing the injured Zaragoza
striker Postiga with Besiktas's Almeida in their starting XI.
