One good striker up front and they would have made goulash out of us.

Its seems to me that both the club and it's fans are not serious.Anytime Arsenal sign a youngster from another team who is dubbed the next whatever people come out and say Arsenal have just signed a youngster who may or may not make it and that Arsene should sign ready made.They say it to seem as if it's a bad thing.Now that Chris Willock is leaving I'm anticipating that a lot of people are soon going to be blaming the same Wenger who actually likes bringing in youngsters.Anyway you have to look at the reasons he lfet.It's for game time and to him he thinks its a good choice.The bright side is that he's not Arsenal's most talented player.The likes of Donyell Malen, Yassin Fortune, Reiss Nelson in my eyes have more potential as wingers.I also think Arsenal should be very excited about Eddie Nketiah and Stephy Mavididi.They can be world class strikers in the future particularly Eddie.

Having said that, Henry doesn't striker me as a great coach or manager in the making and he is probably better of as a TV pundit.

Nothing you could ever do to Giroud would ever make him come good just nothing.Its not a formation set up that gets a player to dribble, score, be world class, be dependable, wow the crowd and the like.Its the players» own ability that makes him do that.Once you don't have it ya ain't gat it brother.Read my lips!!!!! Once ya don't have it ya ain't gat it.As simple as ABC.So I expect this to be another de ja vu case and waste of time if Giroud and Alexis are paired.I'm even shocked it's coming from Henry.He should rather be giving us more reasons why we need a new striker and why we would fail if we don't get the new striker.Forget Giroud's stats for a moment and judge him by how he plays when you are watching him.You would realize that given the same chances at Arsenal strikers who are not even world class can do better.I want a new striker even if not world class and to be honest its not necessarily a world class striker that wins you a league but just increases the chances of winning it.Peace!!!!

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?

«Wenger is giving the striker the self confidence and belief that should help him to start banging more goals in himself» i highly doubt that makes one a goal scorer... otherwise why bring about this question after welbeck has been involved in two goals??? To me walcot is a better option because of his finishing, smart runs, game reading, delivering during big games, good final touch and making it easier for the right back since he keeps defenders in deep in their half therefore, no need for him to be defensive.

Aaron Ramsey certainly hopes and thinks so, and the Welshman also reckons that the return of our big French striker to the squad will play a big part in making sure that the three good performances against Man United, Borussia Dortmund and West Brom is not another false start, as an Arsenal.com report explains.

Jansenn and Milik make Good sense to me, I would be happy with having these two young strikers at Arsenal, since it is obvious that wenger won't be buying the likes of Aubameyang, Lewandowski or Lukaku.

As Alan Smith recognises, Lucas has the ability to drift in and out amongst the defenders and the Spaniard's flexibility to also play on the wing, means that he has a very good idea about what kind of runs the wingers will want the striker to make.

Another reason to start with the big Frenchman is to make the most of the confidence our striker will have gained with his performance and well taken goal for France last week.

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!!!!

It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

@chaitanya, exactly walcott sure knows how to time his runs.even against chelsea he was doing that well.reason ppl say walcott ai nt a good striker is bcos of wenger.wenger makes him play as striker once in a bluemoon, and in such scenario u cant learn the trade.only when hes played consistently he grows as a striker.

The team lacks confidence now, everyone is jittery and so prone to mistakes... strikers missing chances they will put away with their eyes close, defenders trying too hard not to make mistakes and then end up doing just that, the midfield does it best impression of «who can have moat possessions and do eff all with it», the manager is confused, jaded and out of ideas....

And it is a transfer that we know that Wenger wanted to make because his offer of # 40 million and a pound to Liverpool for their striker Luis Suarez back in 2013 was well publicised as well as being highly ridiculed by the scousers and the football media both.

I would not go for the big name strikers, i like the columbian Ibarbo, a lot of pace and very good with his feet, but believe it or not MY choice would be Welbeck he loves making runs behind the defense with his pace, a hard worker and would fit arsenal to the TEE.

With reports that Arsenal are making progress on a # 50m deal to sign Paris Saint - Germain striker Edinson Cavani, CaughtOffside looks at five other possible targets upfront who'd make better signings, or at least better in terms of value for money than the expensive Uruguayan...

«In most of the games we had 70 percent possession, but that makes it difficult for the strikers because there is less room and less freedom as well as most of the time people play with central defenders.

I like Giroud, his stats are good and comparable to vardy and kane but there is something missing, perhaps it is making a goal out of nothing, but I can not se us winning the league with giroud as our main striker.

guy couldnt pass the ball wright, can not shot, not just he missing chances but he miss the ball all the time, slowing the tempo, no pace no speed old story, on one on one no way he can pass the player, dribble like my grandma... and you tell me how the guy with this attributes can be no. 1 striker and play in the best league in the world and probably one of the best clubs in the world... as long as i am alive i would ask myself how giroud stray in arsenal and be no. 1 striker... even my little cousin make a jokes about him, its obvious like a day... guy is laughingstock!!!

Lets spend this money and get some good STRIKERS; Balotelli, Cavani etc, and come less of this young shall grow and when they grow they make a switch... So SAD our brought ups are leaving us for our Rivals.

as for the summer i think one world class player in an attacking pos my be striker, i think we could see a big bid for draxler sometime in the next year, (maybe in this window if we get lucky could be a big surprise at the end of the week would make the window awesome) as wenger rates him top top top class talent, and thinks he could make him into the worlds next best striker maybe try and get him for # 30 million instead.

We finally have a solid striker (even if he will take some adaptation time I think he'll be true class) in Lacazette, we have solid center backs (once they are all healthy) much better than in recent seasons, Giroud is our killer weapon off the bench rather than the key we are relying on as the main source of goals, Coquelin and Elneny are now midfield fall - back options rather than Flamini (no offense Mathieu, I appreciated your efforts, just making the obvious comparison), two high quality keepers, etc..

I intrigued by the prospect of this formation, except I'll swap Ramsey for Wilshere......... we get to play two brilliant strikers as well as two brilliant playmakers, that could be devastating for any opposition...... and I feel Kolasinac would make a decent DM

We still really need a top - top striker to make the best of this (Giroud not good enough, Wellbeck not enough goals, Sanchez leaving?)

This Lacazatte if he ever comes to Arsenal which I strongly doubted because Wenger already made his max number of purchasing, is going to be another Giroud with better CHANCE vs GOAL ration, but not a world class striker in the world.

Best possible result for arsenal today # unconvincing performance from Walcott against quality opposition # no thrashing of Chelsea to make them strengthen in the window # mourinho hoodoo over against arsenal # wenger clearly wants a striker because giroud hasn't played much in preseason and didn't start.

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.

can we move on from the employment of the tight one, well unless you count the very average japanese striker who will make money for the owners.

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

Walcotts one good season doesn't make him anymore of a world class striker than Danny ings... He isn't in my books and doesn't possess the necessary qualities to become one....

Chelsea's only good signing is Fabregas, Diego Costa I think is overrated and a bit hot or cold from what I've seen, Costa could quite possibly flop, in my opinion, he's not the definition of a «World Class Striker» and as for Fellipe Luis, I haven't watched enough of him to make a judgement however if we bring in one more marquee signing then I'll be convinced that we've had the best transfer window out of any other club in the Premier League.

Martial's ex Samantha has not reacted well to being replaced by the French beauty, making an online rant in which she accused Cruz of taking the Man United striker away from her and called her a prostitute.

... he played there against crystal palace, Everton 2 season ago and it was a disaster... our build up is majorly done closer to d centre circle than d oppositions box... that's y girouds hold up play is vital... either we go with dat path or we look for a striker who is lightning quick (so when we make d final pass, it doesn't get wasted), uses both legs to shoot on sight, with good accuracy... playing Sanchez, who is not very good with his back to goal as a 9 is useless and though fast, holds on to d ball a lot tryn to get d best angle to shoot... we need a striker who is very intelligent with d timing of his runs... too bad Walcott is as intelligent as a sheep, cld have been d perfect cf...

ARSENE WENGER: Hi Auba, you are one of the best strikers in the world right now, and we have the world best goal provider in the world in Ozil, come let me make you King Henry or even more, I see that in you, you are our missing puzzle, with you in the team we will definitely win a league and Champions league double in no time.

lets all thank arsene for finally doing the right thing only time will tell but have we finally signed the DM we need STRONG MINDED NO HOLD BAR MIDFIELDER WE HAVE ALL CRAVED, but lets take it back we all know it will take 2 or 3 more like minded players to make us great again, he has tricked us all buy buying one superstar in the last 3 windows ALEXIS, OZIL and CHEC great players but can't do it all on their own, spending huge amount of money and saying we can buy the best players, on the surface this looks great we are buying top top players big prices but instead of spending his usual 50 mill on 2, 3, 4, 0r 5 players he has pulled the wool over are eyes with 1 superstar thinking the fans are that dumb enough to believe it, infact he has never spent his budget only balanced on sales too purchases, i love arsenal but this summer i hope for more he needs to do that consistently through out the team spend the same amount on the team stop balancing the american owners, grow a pair say yes we will buy a top defender and a world class striker, stan we love arsenal please be one of us do whats needed then you will fell proud as we are and we will adore you for it.

Top Notch strikers ARE a rarity now, far more than they were in the golden days of Thierry Henry ET AL. however they DO still exist albeit in a much rarer form, and this makes them more expensive that Arsenal and more specifically the fans of Arsenal are used to spending, we discuss if this one is worth that or if that one is worth this, well, why are we concerned whith what the club spends on a striker and if they are worth it ect??

Does it make sense to anyone to move your best striker, Sanchez, to his weakest position of left wing?

I think it goes back to the van persie deal where Wenger sold a ready made cloth perfect for a goalscoring situation went to United and arsenal at that juncture did not need a top quality striker but moving into 2015 arsenal definitely need a striker but Wenger wants somebody who can do it and be relied upon till the whole team gets motivated and gets good patch of form themselves

What you said is very true.Ozil makes our strikers look half decent.In fact we expect average players to look better when they are surrounded with world class players.He's definitely not been consistent but to get the best out of him he needs players who can finish or else he's useless.It's good Wenger has brought in Lacazette who's actually the only good finisher out of our three strikers.

when u have one of the best strikers of the moment for 50 million euros plus your striker that does nt even make the tally of 20 goals a season in the league, you take it

we have a lamppost as our striker, Lacazette was all in our minds and everyday news, an unknown Perez pops up and we are covered, Mustafi is a good buy but the lack of steel infront of them makes so vulnerable.

Look gentlemen this WAS an extremely well written and well researched article and has to rank as one of the best Ive read in many a long year, Howvever when all of the «in depth analysis» has been done it really boils down to two points and two points only, 1) Our strikers (namely Walcott, Giroud, Welbeck and Cambel) just did nt score enough goals when it really mattered, 2) our defence made too many mistakes that allowed too many goals to be scored against us when it mattered.

For teams like Manchester United and Tottenham, this pattern of football has worked for them, probably because they have mastered the art of making it work or they have a striker who fits perfectly well!
