Reading the thread on this article and I noticed a lot of people naming strikers we could have gotten in past transfer windows that have gone to other club and failed, Balotelli, Falcao, Martinez, Boney etc are recurring names in all the comments, and am sat here thinking because they failed in thee clubs does not necessarily mean they would have failed if we had pulled out our fingers and hot them back then, Balotelli aside I strongly believe all of these players could have made a difference playing infront of our midfield and given the kind of attention and care Wenger gives Giroud and Walcott, adapting our play to suit them and giving them chances after chances even when its blatantly obvious they are average players so please lets not keep using that as an excuse for Wenger's ultra careful attitude in the transfer market, they could have failed with us, or they could have been massive for us, all speculations.

This year is no different then the previous transfer windows whereby Wenger panics at the 11th hour and tries to buy any player from the basement bucket...

@john0711 it's people like you I don't get.Do you know Chamakh may have been a worse player than Giroud but let's be honest Chamakh was a better finisher than Giroud.Even him was labelled as garbage.Can someone name a striker with exception of Gervinho (man he was awfully out of this world) who played for Araenal who Giroud had better finishing than.Giroud is to me part of Arsenal's worst finishers ever and please let's not deny it and note I considered only «finishing»..

The Arsenal transfer rumours are a little thin on the ground at the moment with Arsene Wenger over at the Euros as usual, so I thought I'd have a little peek at what the bookies are forecasting the chances of the Gunners landing any big name strikers if the Jamie Vardy saga fails to come to fruition.

I just don't know what's wrong with Arsenal fans.Sure I get it as humans we all have our preferences but things start to look funny when we begin to bash and criticize a player like he's useless.I just don't get why Arsenal fans do nt want Vardy.Oh is it because he's not world class, he's English, He's not a big name, he's a fairy tale, you feel all he does is run, he's not got a better history in footballing until now or you feel Giroud is better or what?I really pity Arsenal fans honestly.I would've taken Jamie Vardy in a heartbeat.Sure he's not the best option out there.But I'll say this and say it again it's not a world class striker that wins you a league but rather just increases your chances of winning the league.If you've watched Arsenal clearly from the time since Henry left you realized that it's more of not being able to find a clinical striker.Eduardo was not a already a finished product when he started his career here yet he was clinical and was on world class form until injury.What Arsenal need now is a world class finisher if they can't get a world class striker.

If Wenger could sign a couple of big name players who play their football in similar positions, such as the Leicester and Algeria attacking star Riyad Mahrez and the Lyon and France striker Alexandre Lacazette, would you be happy to see Walcott and Giroud join the Hammers or should we hang on to one or both as well?

But I think we could say the same of any big name forward that Arsene Wenger signs this summer and Giroud must be aware that his boss is looking to sign a top class striker for Arsenal, so I reckon we should keep that in mind when we hear what Olly had to say on the speculation surrounding his fellow countryman, as reported by Metro.

I even thought top clubs were in for him.Some three or 2 seasons back many here were debating why he should be our main striker.As soon as you mention any other strikers name people would come out with stats and many things defending him.Even Wenger has defended him blindly in the past.People say Wenger's stubborn yeah.But don't we know that there's a reason why everything happens?Honestly speaking he's the reason why Arsene Wenger has failed to sign a top notch striker because he still believes in him.The funny thing is we signed Welbeck at that time who to me did nothing before to be the main man here.People keep saying Welbeck is hardworking and that he works his socks off.But the question is was that our reason for signing him.Welbeck being signed to challenge Giroud tells me a lot about Giroud's quality.Even Walcott (no offence to him) who has zero CF qualities was even chosen over him for a string of games and all in all I think he did well but has too many defeciencies for that role.We've compromised as a club and it'll come back to bite us.

I believe Arsenal has a team of scouts who are responsible to identify «proper striker» in names, what I can see is that Giroud / walcott / Welback are not in that definition (The later two may have a prospect)...
