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

«There isn't a striker in the world who's better than him as a target man.

Ozil does deserve to play with a striker that has a much greater scoring ability than Giroud, considering the amount of chances created by our playmaker, and Arsenal overall need a lot more from their man up front if they want to achieve ambitions of the title.

Arsenal have two strikers that both score more goals than any Man United player..

Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many of the traditionally dominant teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out of position and by not acquiring world - class striker and / or right - side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss of Cazorla, who took a lot of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first type of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments of greatness undercut by long periods of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste

Of course it isn't, but I don't need a computer game to tell me that Wanyama is better than Flamini, or that Man City and Chelsea have better strikers than we do.

Perhaps the loss of Sergio Aguero might do that to Pep Guardiola's team, but that would still leave Jose Mourinho's men and even if this injury to Romelu Lukaku turns out to be worse than first feared and the Belgian misses some matches, the former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry seems to think they would still be okay, as he has heaped praise on another of their forwards Anthony Martial, worryingly suggesting in a Metro report that the young Frenchman is better than he was.

Alvaro Morata is a fast striker with a nose for goal, but he'll want to get involved with build - up play too, and he might be a touch less selfish in front of goal than the man he's replacing.

to some extent as Aguero is injury prone Chelsea, same as Man city Even everton don't have a better striker on the bench than Lukaku, Spurs too don't have any other than Kane, chelsea only Costa is trusted, City trusts Aguero only..

However, Welbeck has been brought in to do a job of not only scoring goals, but to render better utility as a striker than the Girouds and Sanogos, who neither fall into the category of strikers or target men.

The young striker's attitude also strikes me as much better than the Napoli man's.

I agree with those odds simply because i believe the some team that were stronger than Arsenal last season have done some really good business to further strengthen there squads, Bernardo Silva & Kyle Walker for Man City with what they already have plus what pep will add plus its gonna be his second season so he will be a bit more familiar with the EPL and this may make them really tough to beat, Tiemoue Bakayoko & Antonio Rudiger Chealsea plus a top striker and Chelsea will sill be one of the teams to beat, Tottenham are gonna be solid, they've kept the team together and Victor Lindelof & Romelu Lukaku for Man - u and Mourinho is not done yet if the rumors are true and there also the Mourinho second season thing, as much as i'd like to be hopeful for next season, i really do nt think Lacazette and Kolasinac are enough to make us challenge for the league plus having Europa league will give the team less time to recover for the weekend games, the formation change is the only thing i see can make the difference.

After the disappointment of seeing another Arsenal title challenge wither and die, the Arsenal transfer rumours suggesting that our star striker Alexis Sanchez had lost faith with Arsene Wenger and the club in general and was ready to ship out to pastures new was like pouring salt onto an open wound for Arsenal fans, but judging from the way the Chilean put himself about against Man City today, perhaps that salt should be taken as a pinch rather than added to those wounds.

The thing that really bothers me is the thing we've disagreed on in the past and that's imo Wengers apparent lack of Urgency and decisiveness when moving into the transfer window I know that Scheweinsteiger would be a great addition but He is somewhat over the hill in comparison to the others that are being toted about and while I know that we are not the cash Rich Man Poo or Man Sh!tty or Chelski I do know that we are at a point for the first time in ten years where we don't need to replace many players or are being frced to sell the quality ones we have, we are for the first time in a spot where we only need to add two or three players and we are there in terms of being able to compete, Id hate for the financial Exuberance to stop us taking that final stride forward into the competitive team we nearly are IMO spend the money now, get the striker, get the DM and we wont need to look at transfers in a big way again for several seasons and with that in mind Id rather have the likes of Benzema or Lacazetta or even Cavanni than a nearly over the hill Scheweinsteiger.

I'd rather have no striker join Arsenal than signing that headless chicken Welbeck, who with his fellow rubbish players at old trafford turned man utd into a shit team.

Louis van Gaal may well have been pleased that his side rescued a last gasp point from their encounter with Chelsea but the Man United boss was less than impressed with Robin van Persie's goal celebration, branding his striker's actions as «stupid» according to the Daily Mirror.

Then you are simply nitpicking, Sanchez has been way better than any striker at Man United.

Of course, if there's any striker in the league that's doing better than the West Ham front - man, it's Argentine powerhouse Sergio Aguero.

I would argue that, when you are down to 10 men, Giroud brings more to the table in every area than a striker like Aguero because, not only is he dangerous in open play, he is an asset at set - plays too.

Now back fit and firing after more than a year out, Lamela looks certain to play a key role under Pochettino, who rates Lamela's tenacity, ability to beat men and thread balls through to strikers like Eriksen.
