The French international is still a few steps below strikers as Harry Kane, Diego Costa, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Daniel Sturridge and Sergio Aguero in my book, and this is very much the position Arsenal have to work hard on to improve if the team is to take that last step and be crowned Champions.

There is so much talk about getting wingers and strikers that we are all forgetting our stats from last season.It was not scoring goals which was the problem (thanks to Alexis whom people have already started demonising for being ambitious) but its conceding goals which is our problem.So shouldn't the club be more focussed on getting a CDM and a CB.

Cazorla is far better than Ozil in my opinion... We wasted 42M to replace our best player (Cazorla was Arsenal best player the season before we bought Ozil)...

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!!!!

Sell him to Munich in the summer and buy the striker we need, on a positive note, well done Danny welbeck, have to admit I don't rate him but he was great last night really impressed me, maybe he can develop to b much better than I thought, hope so, also Montreal deserves real credit for his huge improvement from last season.

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.

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

The fact that Sanchez also layed the opener on a plate for Ozil toi tap in just shows how much we rely on the striker.

OT: My wishes: — Wenger to stop playing Mert ahead of Gab... this is a must — Wenger being ruthless and stop being stubbornness «big wish» — Wenger to change his transfer policy «big wish as well» — Not count on very injury prone players (Wilshere, Walcott, Ox, Welbeck), take them only as a bounce because they would never stay fit... It is a dilemma because they are all quality home grown players, so I can not say «get rid of them all» — Give our smart attacking players (Sanchez, Cazorla, Ozil) what they need, a striker... that is a must — Strengthen the flank with another quality because all the sights now on Sanchez — Get rid of useless team players (Campbell, Flamini, yes they are useless) and replace them with better players (promote or buy good ones)-- Loan Chamber... 16M is too much to ruin

In the first match of Lucas Perez in EFL CUP, he scored 2 goals, one a striker's goal but Wenger in his comments after the match criticized him for relying too much on his left foot!

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic seemed to be in a tetchy mood for much of the evening as his nation picked up a point on the road at Austria in their opening Euro 2016 qualifying match, with the PSG man lucky to stay on the pitch after appearing to elbow David Alaba during the first half.

The continual experiment of Cazorla on the left side of the pitch most be stopped, play him behind the striker and let him do his thing, he should have been building his confidence back while Ozil was out in that position, if you (wenger) wants jack to play so much, let him play behind giroud and bench cazorla, but this experiment must stop allow, Campbell, ox or Gnabry to show themselves in that position, even RYO and COQ would do a much better job on the left side of the park.

I think that Cazorla has much more to provide for us, so I think that just a pacey right side will be enough to do the trick... Or else play Walkott, Ox on the flanks, Sanchez as striker, Ozil and Rambo as providers, but we do luck a monster CDM to do all the defensive work...

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..

My take is, no matter how well we complain about this or that, Wenger will always do what he think is right for the club and the team generally, if he's not buying a striker that's ok in as much the midfielders can assist with their own share of goals to ease the burden off the strikers, but depending solely on Giroud will be suicidal.

And i was on of Giroud biggest haters last season but he offers us so much upfront tbh i don't see Welbeck as a striker he is never in the box

So much pressure was put on Ramsey & Ox because Sanchez wasn't scoring along with our strikers.

I don't expect Lucas to play too much of a part against Swansea, but if deemed fully fit, I wouldn't be surprised to see the striker be named on the bench.

Giroud was highly praised for his cameo appearance, so much so that following on from his form these past few weeks, many have suggested he should be reinstated ahead of Alexis Sanchez as the side's starting sole striker, starting with this weeks Champions League fixture against PSG.

he just needs to work on his striking more, I think he can be so much more clinical in the front (be that in mind he has put in some very nicely placed goals) And do you know what i agree with you in terms of a striker I want Alvaro Morata..

Our problem stems much deeper than flamini, we didn't concede so we don't screw up on that part but our right wing is non existent top that to having no striker and u have a toothless team which is what we are now

Walcott is no longer needed with our new formation 3 -5-2 we are using Belerin on the right wing what was once TW's hang out, i think TW shot himself in the foot by demanding he wanted to be a striker which his not, TW with his lightning speed (but not much dribbling skills) will best serve teams that park the bus and counter attack

lst season at stamford bridge, was the first time i saw that 4 -1-4-1 formation being used, and for some weird reason i feel a very strange negative vibe and well all know the outcome.the manager has come back with this formation and its not yielding result, but he still sticks with it.i do nt know much about formations dear friends, but if you are playing a slow dm in arteta and a very very slow cb, then you are toast against quality teams with sound tactics.wen playing wellbeck as a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTS.

Mistamonn most of the time his playing players out of position is because we don't have the necessary depth of players for each position specially on the left, the team is always out of balance he rely needs to buy W / C if not top players in key positions, last year i was commenting that we needed a striker before a class DM but i was so wrong, we first need the best DM that money can buy no mater how much then and only then we can look for another class DM and a couple of descent defenders.

22 attempts and 8 on target... Oh please, please someone enlighten me as to why we do nt need another CF and how Giroud is a good one when he got bullied by a 16 year old debutant who forced him to go out wide as a lone striker, That defence too my god people were talking about how Koscielny and Metersacker were the best pairing at Cb no were not... and today proved why there were a few times metersacker overcommited when payet was dribblng left a gaping hole in that defence and if westhams strikers were on the ball this would have been a much larger margin.

The article hits the nail on the head when it asks if the current crop of available strikers are THAT much better than what we already have on that note I have to say IMO no they are not!!!

All clubs that own these strikers know how much money is in the premier league and will hold on to extract maximum money.
