Yes he could be alot better at finishing, but let's see, maybe we got a
new sturridge... What I am mad on Wenger about is not so much the
lack of a proven
striker to our ranks... No it's that we haven't bought a central defender to cover, but most important, we haven't bought a defensive midfielder, that we need so much!!? Wenger makes the same mistakes over and over, everybody else can see it, just not him... hmm: / but still lets respect him as a man and judge when we are atleast half way into the season... COYG!!!!
Lets give the transfer window a breather and concentrate on the current like our mis - firing team,
lack of dominance at the Emirates, injuries, tactics for the next games, our
new striker Own Goal (OG), a chant for Cech, etc..
... the fact is some gunner fans have forgotten that we almost won the league 2 years ago without sanchez nor cech and with the same olivier giroud as our ONLY strike force, and as we know if not for
lack of depth and injuries we would av won the league that year... now we av sanchez and cech plus welbeck, we now av the depth, all we need is a fit team and we will win the league next season... I believe in this team and frankly, its high time we put all the doubts away and stand with the team and manager with or without a
new striker signing... COYGs!!!
Benzema if we were even after a
new striker could be the solution to one
of many
of our problems (
lack of potent CF).
But, he should have had another 2 before he scored, I think we need to be patient with Theo, people attack him for not making the correct runs or
lacking the instinct
of a
striker, but for this he simply needs time, games is how he will learn this, I would think he is getting good advice from AW and perhaps our
new U18s Attacking coach The King can give him some tips.
mmmh injuries (not news and infact we already are in it),
lack of a proper dm until the
new yr (le coq emergence who desperately needed a back up),
lack of a lethal
striker (giroud's injury noted though obviously not good enough and the sole reason even wenger himself needed a
new striker) and finally
lack of depth in key positions (CBs, DM and yes a CF).
We have our CB in Gabriel, I do nt see any need for
new strikers or wingers, neither right / left backs, we only need to fill the
lack of a quality backup / contender for the DM - spot.

lack of options».
I will just point out some
of the things a
new manager would bring, like... 1) Signings before the last day of the window 2) Better fitness preparation for less injuries 3) New tactics and ideas on how to break teams down and how not to get hammered by top clubs 4) Players that will fill the gaps we've had with the keeper, the defense, and the lack of a good striker 5) Rotations, so we don't wear our team do

even when he suffered a serious knee injury, instead
of accepting the fact that he would never stick his legs into the spaces that were crucial for someone with straight ahead speed to succeed, the club actually contemplated giving him a chance to play up top where his
lack of physicality, size and holding up play talents would been on display for all to see... these are not the actions
of a club that really cares about winning at the highest levels, but they are the actions
of a club that wasn't interested in spending the necessary resources to purchases a world - class
striker, which is usually the most expensive position on the pitch... instead we adopted the horrible phrase «like a
new signing» and proceeded to allow this ridiculous experiment to carry on, which ultimately caused some discomfort on the training pitch and inside the locker room as players battled for a position that shouldn't have been theirs for the taking in the first place... don't get me wrong, I believe that Walcott is a talented player, who can help a team reach their goals, if their goals are relatively modest... just look at the teams who supposedly expressed interest in his services and they weren't the kind
of clubs who aspire to win at the highest levels... as for the reasons why he hasn't been bitching and moaning about moving on just look at the wage benefits he receives from our club and his obvious desire to enjoy the societal advantages that come with playing in North London for a club with worldwide appeal... so instead
of continuing to try to fix a coat with a broken zipper simply move on and buy a
new and better coat
Well put steven i think the winter period hurt laca first year in epl is tough on majoruty
of foreign
strikers bellerin has been decent but he could srengthen up and xhaka has had his oppurtunoty and not grabbed with cazorla coming back and a summer open for signings he is indee pressure now but with time i think the
new signings will start to gel and with perspective to the Rticle i agree with uou there is no white flag being thrown up this article really
lacked the perspective that was being asked because it jist said we lost some games without an honest reflection pf how those games went everyone has lost games this year and liverpoodlians even lost to swansea city to wigan
Depay is just one
of a number
of underperforming big - money signings whose dismal showings in the EPL have heaped further scrutiny on van Gaal, with the
striker's
lack of goals — alongside the struggles

The Tottenham Hotspur
striker has come in for criticism at the start

Manchester United's miserable start to the 2014/15 season perhaps hit a
new low this weekend, with the Red Devils stunningly throwing away a 3 - 1 lead at Leicester City's King Power Stadium, with United's

of Foxes
striker Jamie Vardy.
The reported Arsenal target Alexandre Lacazette has opened the door towards a potential move to the Emirates after claiming that a switch to the Premier League would be «interesting» and that a
lack of Champions League football would not be a dealbreaker in making the decision, insisting that the biggest factor would regular first - team football and the opportunity
of being the main
striker at his
new club.
At the end
of it the debate will boil down to DO WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN THE EPL OR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE??? first let's start with what went wrong the other season nothing we finished 12 pts behind the league leaders chelsea and 5 pts behind city... mmmh injuries (no longer news and infact we're already in it),
lack of a proper dm till the
new year (le coq emergence who desperately needed a back up),
lack of a lethal
striker (giroud's 3mnth injury noted though obviously not good enough and the sole reason wenger himself was reportedly looking for an «exceptional
striker») and finally the obvious
lack of depth in key positions (DM, CBs and yes a CF).
Besides, how do you explain the
lack of defenders, a
new DM and a
new striker of world class?
