Arsenal are also in great need
of a new striker as they look to bring in a player to fill in for the injured Olivier Giroud, with little in the way of backup for the Frenchman at the Emirates Stadium as he faces as much as four months out.

At least the French
striker has the knowledge that Arsene Wenger is right behind him and appreciates what he does,
as proved by the recent reports
of a two year contract extension, but it must be clear to Giroud that his position in the Arsenal starting line up is under serious threat from the
new boy.
Despite the consistently selfless and impressive performances
of former Lyon
striker Benzema whilst in the white shirt
of Real Madrid, he is constantly being linked with moves away from the club,
as is now the case with the report suggesting that Carlo Ancelotti will move for Cavani
as the
new spearhead for his attack.
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!!!!
Arsenal may be prioritising a
striker at the moment
as the next incomer at Arsenal, but it shouldn't stop the club from looking at Mahrez ahead
of the
new season.
Yeah yeah yeah It's a priority to get a
new striker in
of course it is PROVIDING that he cost less that a fiver, is world class, French and is young enough to make a profit on when we resell him So not really a priority at all!!!!!! The priority here is the same
as it's always been and that NOT spending any money (where is the BT sports money we have got?)
To be honest I would take either or
as long it meant we definitely got a
striker in the summer
as at least it would give a bit
of new life to the forward line, even though a more proven
striker would be more ideal.
if u hv noticed his runs off the ball and the way he face the goal rather than showing his back and trying hold game he plays
as outright
striker... and walcot is injured so he cant play upfront for time being and abt alexis to be honest i hv not seen him play
as a
striker much... and
as of now we hvnt sign a
new striker..
With very little time left in the transfer window, Alexis having to go and join up with his international team - mates has caused complications, especially with rumours that the
striker has handed in a transfer request, while at the same time it has been reported that Man City have come in with a
new offer to sign Alexis and to include Raheem Sterling
as part
of the deal.
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!!!!
So Arsenal fan's continued wish for a
new first class

of you out there who have been getting excited, ever since the failed transfer bid for the Leicester City and England

new forward in the summer transfer window, need to realise that whoever does come to Arsenal will not be coming
as a replacement for the big Frenchman but
as competition and cover for him.
... 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!!!
Falcao found the back

This one
of many Arsenal transfer rumours will simply not go away and every time we hear about a
new piece
of the puzzle it suggests that Arsene Wenger really is very interested in the young Argentina born
striker Paulo Dybala, dubbed by some
as the
new Sergio Aguero, due to his attributes and scoring prowess.
He is surely marked down
as a star
of the future and is simply another good reason why Wenger did not bring any
new established
striker when we may already have a prolific frontman waiting in the wings....
He is deployed by AW
as a
striker — jeez, look at his heat map, watch him play and take note
of his 16 goals by
New Year and where he has scored those goals from on the pitch.
I believe there is better than 50 % chance he will start
as our
striker the first game
of the
new season.
Haha and a
new stadium
as well too, with lots
of car parks, sorry mate our midfield is well loaded barring any major injuries which
of course
as we know will most definetely happen, all we need is a world class
striker (Admin * Cough - article *), centre back, maybe a winger and handle the two other positions which are not that neccesary but could be useful for rotation like the ospina back up position and getting an extra midfielder in Ngolo Kante I love his simplicity and his mobility much much much better upgrade to flamini
I think were in good position right now in terms
of strikers with Giroud
as our main man, who is playing very well since the
New Year.
theres no logical reason why Wenger would want to buy a
striker as far
as he see's it we can manage with what we have, He is gagging to turn someone like Sanogo into the
new Tierry Henry and then he can sit back and say «I told you I was the master» its
as plain
as the nose on your face that Wenger has had no interest in buying a
new striker since we got Welllbeck who we all know is a great tryer but will either never have a long period
of fitness OR will never be the ruthless clinical finisher we really need.
if he had that situation last year he would have did it then too, thats what i'm trying to say, what you are saying is that he had changed from last year, but he is the same
as last year, and to sanchez you implied that he is this good because
of the moral impact
of the
new players and i just do nt believe in that, and thats why i wrote about the 6 goal - streak, he did nt need a moral impact its just that we have a better defense so that the
strikers get a lot more opportunities to attack a defense and not a packed bus after a lucky goal like last year
The out
of work manager claimed that we are in need

new strikers as Chelsea have replaced the hated Costa with Alvaro Morata and Wenger has brought in our record signing
of Alexandre Lacazette.
He was a bit
of a whinger Thought
of himself
as a
striker and not a right winger He went back on what he said His shots would often end up in row Z But he always got a
new contract and a pay rise because he was a favorite
of Wenger
The rain started beating us the moment we watched
as our rivals spend big thinking that Wenger guarantees top4 trophy, we are now languishing at 6th on the table, but are now spending two top
strikers signed breaking our transfer record twice that's a positive and may it continue.you also notice that
new players take some time to adapt we are now started swing the best
of lava and auba.After finishing 5th last season there is no instant coffee solution it will take time and effort to challenge for top honors
Indeed it seems that the Scot sees the former Ajax man
as his first choice
striker and whilst a pairing
of Andy Carroll is used for some Liverpool fixtures the season Dalglish has looked to play Suarez up front on his own and taking advantage
of the goals he can now hope to see coming from his
new midfield signings such
as Charlie Adam and Jordan Henderson.
All three
of these teams are more decisive in the transfer market then we are to begin with, and if you add to that the fact that they will likely give there
new managers a nice budget to buy
new players (
strikers as well).
442 diamond - like formation might work if we had the base
of the diamond
as a dedicated defensive midfielder role with Coquelin (or
new addition, or even perhaps Elneny), playmaker at the top
of the diamond, the side operating like wingers (or falling back for more defensive cover
as required) and two
strikers.

The French

I think the major reason Wenger did not sign a strong DM is because
of Diaby, Wenger may think it s his last chance to prove what he is capable
of and he is when fit so I expect to see a breaktrough or fail from Diaby.You have to admire the loyalty
of Wenger on those kind
of point, the team is still short
of defender but I do think that a Diaby fit can be a good DM
as he is tall, strong and technical.There is 3
new striker, Campbell and Sanchez who can play the wings and a tall, strong Wellbeck who can bully the defenders in the box, all three have pace so it s an upgrade on Giroud and Sanogo.
But if,
as I expect, the manager restricts himself to just a couple
of new signings then I hope that they are a top quality defensive midfielder and a proven
striker and I would love that
striker to be the player that The Mirror has us and Manchester United heavily linked with, Pierre Emerick - Aubameyang.
There has been an outpouring
of anger on JustArsenal against Arsene Wenger after he failed to bring in a
new striker in the transfer window, but

Well, apparently Galatasaray is set to make a move for Flamini for # 2.8 m... I see things being done only that they are gradual... & Benitez apparently committed to help arsenal complete the Benzema move
as he has said the frenchman does not fit into his vision
of the
new Real madrid he's about to build & he wants to make a move for Reus which means he could cash - in on the french
striker....
I even heard people say, they would have preferred a defender instead
of Aubameyang, and while I won't go that far
as I am pretty happy with our
new striker, I get the point.
The superb

new deal, if Alexis agrees to sign it, will make him the club's top earner.
