They're creativity is key but now Spurs have finally signed a 15 - 20
goals a season striker in Roberto Soldado from Valencia, depending on Bale's exit, they will need someone with a bit more class behind him and Eriksen is a fantastic candidate, given his Champions League experience and record at scoring and creating goals in the Eredivisie.
For me, we already have a potential 30
goals season striker in Alexis.
Giroud is a 20
goals a season striker in my opinion.
Giroud isn't a 20
goal a season striker in the Premier League alone and that's exactly what the Gunners need if they are going to truly challenge for the league.
Not exact matches
we lost the league last
season cos of his
goal drought, we lost the league
in 13/14 cos of him wasting chances and Wenger not signing any
striker.
But we simply don't have the same quality all over the pitch or at least
in 2 areas that could've made the difference: 1) The
strikers: I like all 3 of our player but Giroud for all his build up play, physical presence & occasional wonder
goal but he is not a 30
goals /
season striker a ruthless guy that will bury that one occasion.
Yes Giroud is not a 30
goal a
season striker, but he does have his place, when we are struggling to get the ball out of our own half as a target man, and
in set pieces, and defence, and he does score the odd
goal from free play as well.
Signed by Borussia Dortmund last

strikers, Carzola, Rambo, Ox if playing, hell even Flamini / Arteta should also chip
in like last
season.
But Arsenal 4
strikers will need to score 80
goals on the average
in a
season in addition to the 30 and10 the mid fielders and the defenders

Boufal may not have hit the heights that some of the
strikers we have been linked with this summer, as the Morrocan
striker scored just 11
goals all
season in France, however there is great confidence
in his ability and that he is one of Europe's hottest prospects.
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?
Aubameyang, 28, has been one of the most lethal

season in the PL Giroud has had 4

Chelsea
striker Diego Costa always seems to get under the skin of Arsenal players when the two sides meet and — having scored five

The
striker has enjoyed a very good
season, albeit
in a limited role, and many of his
goals have come at crucial points
in matches.
as for the league, giroud is a 13
goal per
season scorer, that is one
goal every 3 matches, he is a feature
striker, and this wont win anything unless you generate huge output from your midfield... by comparison, henry scored 27
goals in the epl when we won the league...
Look at Ozil, playing behind a
striker he can not even reach 15
goals in a

Few years ago we had 3 good
strikers in our squad adebayor, Eduardo and v. Persie now we have only one giroud who is worse than all of them and wenger thinks he will score 30

Any decent

It seems an even stranger decision when you consider that he could have played the Arsenal

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.
Wenger, I hope, is laying down a smokescreen and will look to add to the squad with top class talent, and
in my mind this needs to be another DM, another CB, AND a world class 25
goal a
season striker.
I got a lot of thumbs down for my previous comment but
In my mind I have to ask why we are looking at yet another winger / Midfielder when what we should have been doing is seeking out a 25
goal a
season striker.
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!!!!!!!!
Much is expected of the 24 - year - old this year given Liverpool's struggles
in front of
goal last
season and they have turned to a
striker that found the back of the net 42 times
in 89 league games for Villa during his three - year spell with the Midlands outfit.
The French international has managed to score just nine
goals in 29 appearances so far this
season, and coupled with the January arrival of Pierre - Emerick Aubameyang, the pressure really is on his shoulders having been benched for the last two games since the former Borussia Dortmund
striker arrived.
The 27 - year - old is one of the best
strikers in European football and scored a respectable 15
goals in 29 La Liga apperances this
season.
Giroud has a better scoring record than Morata so he's definitely not the
striker we need and is not
in the same category as Lewandowski or Higuan who are 30
goals a
season strikers!
Maybe the French league is easier but the fact that Lacazette has scored more
goals there
in the last four
seasons than any other
striker including Edinson Cavani who was
in a league of his own when playing
in Italy's Serie A tells you that the new Gunners star is right up there.
The ex-Man United
striker Danny Welbeck joined Arsenal
in the
season of 2014/15 but
in those four years he has only managed to actually start 40 League games for the Gunners, due to various injuries, but he did score 13
goals in those matches and has always showed promise until he inevitably returns to the treatment room.
The 20 - year - old linked up with Dinamo on a
season - long loan last summer, and the club have now moved to sign the
striker after his impressive run
in front of
goal.
The Borussia Dortmund
striker Pierre - Emerick Aubameyang is available for # 65 million right now, and after scoring an amazing 36
goals in 45 appearances this
season in the Bundesliga he is definitely worth every penny, especially to a team like Arsenal who are crying out for a top hitman to complete our already talented squad.
In 2010, Manchester United signed a young striker from Mexico named Javier «Chicharito» Hernandez, who went on to score 33 league goals in his first three seasons with the Red Devils and 59 total goals over his first four seasons before being phased out of the tea

striker up front who has the ability (as we have seen
in Cavani) to smash 30
goals a
season and take us to the title.

strikers in TH14 and AS17 who have league

seasons.
The 23 - year - old former Manchester City
striker has only made seven league appearances for Chelsea this
season, scoring one league
goal against Tottenham
in October.
we again need about three world class players and
in my opinion that includes a genuine Iron man DM with intelligence as well as muscle, a genuine world class 30
goal a
season striker, the likes of which will turn a game around when its looking bad, and with the fall of Santi Cazorla looking ever more imminant we also now need a genuine creative midfielder (why did nt Wenger get Cesc when he was an option?)
