Of the English clubs mentioned, Arsenal are arguably the most in need
of a top striker like Griezmann.
Taking a look at the shot locations for their goals, most
of the top strikers like to score from within the penalty area but out of the six - yard box.
Not exact matches
he is a ddecent
striker but then why haven't have the
likes of spuds / chelski or liverlool gone for him we need a
top striker + he is also injury prone missed many games for nufc last season there is areason why marilelle sold him for less money
This shows exactly why Wenger failed this summer Instead
of getting a
Top striker like Cavani, Martinez, Dybala, Lacazette and a
Top DM
like Kondogbia, Krychowiak, Schneiderlin Wenger keeps faith in Arteta and Le Donkey
As for Giroud I hope what I'm hearing is not true.You get the feeling that once Lacazette starts scoring he just won't
like it.He's also another overrated player who's also hear because
of Wenger's kindness.Apart from the fact that he's good with his head I don't see the positives
of keeping here and even Welbeck.We need players who can push Lacazette to perform and these are just not the players.They are more
of rotation players.Do you think if Welbeck and Giroud were at
top form they can challenge Laca at his best?I always laugh at our
strikers though.On one hand, one doesn't fit our style
of play but at least he can finish.On the other hand, the one who fits our style
of play can't even score a goal.I can't believe we are joking with such a crucial role.I'm sick and tired
of seeing average
strikers in the club.It's been painful watching the
likes of Bendtner and Chamakh already.Now I have to cope with this.
It would make more sense,
like at Barca, for Arsenal to have a
top striker in the center (Higuain or Aubamayng) and Sanchez on the right wing or to play Sanchez as a nr 10 in a 4 -4-2 type
of style where he can play
of a more physical central
striker.
Any
striker that doesn't have quality movement, pace, dribbling, composure and finishing doesn't suit a
top top club, maybe the
likes of tottenham and everton but not arsenal.
Giroud, since he first kicked a ball for us, has followed up great patches
of goal scoring with being a complete lamppost, Walcott, Ox, are the definition
of overrated, Ramsey is horrendous, Cazorla is always injured now, Ozil plays well when he feels
like it, Gabriel is not Arsenal quality, we have no true
top striker STILL since RVP left.
Wenger has no tactics, plays his favourite players over better players, gives long term contracts to average and injury prone players, hates strong physical players, plays players out
of position, always looking for excuse
like refrees and saying other teams played more in pre season, does nt spend money on players required
like if we need
strikers he will buy CAM, waits for other teams to buy
top players and signs average on deadline day, calls accident when we lose, talks cohesion and mental strength when we beat terrible teams and win mickey mouse trophy
like Asia cup and community shield.
«The boss wanted to sign at least one or two
strikers, so I expected a
top striker and I think it will benefit the club and hopefully he is going to score a lot
of goals
like he did at Leicester.»
Diego Costa (
top quality
striker) with guys
like Hazard, Willian, Schurrle on the wings who can also score a good amount
of goals and assist.
«The boss [Arsene Wenger] wanted to sign at least one or two
strikers, so I expected a
top striker and I think it will benefit the club and hopefully he is going to score a lot

We are so close to having a squad that can perform against any team, get rid
of deadwood
like diaby, flamini, ryo and Campbell then sign Paulista, Schneiderlin and a
top class
striker e.g Falcao, Cavani, Suarez then replace Podolski with Dybala.
Lack
of a
top striker which can be solved 2 ways: A. Buy a
top striker like Falcao, Cavani.
When Giroud is on his game he's excellent the difference between him and op
strikers like Aguero is Aguero has more consistency and can get the goal agains a
top team when its tight.im not sure any
of the
strikers mentioned are what we need, we need an aguero type player which none
of the mentioned are.
There is an obvious solution to the problem though and that is for Arsenal to sign another
top quality
striker and defender to strengthen these key areas and take the pressure off the
likes of Walcott, Mertesacker and the manager himself.
How many assists did Ozil have last season?If Arsenal had a clinical
striker last season we would've won the league.But
of course our so called super sub and Mr. Stamina passed with flying colours.It's funny how people only look at his laziness yet forget about his other qualities.You need to look at which outweighs the other.Some are also saying he's staying because no one is interested in him.That's funny.He could even go to Madrid next season and would even be their highest assist for consecutive seasons.It's funny how we talk
of him
like he's nothing.How I wish he left last season to a
top club with clinical finishers.He's even wasting his talents here honestly speaking.
Arsenal fans 2013: arsenal need a

like goals to be shared by 10 players but i do nt want
striker to block the cohesion
of the team by getting 30 goals by himeslf.
It looks
like we'll go for potential over established becasue
of the derth
of available «
top top top class»
strikers.
He won trophies with guys
like Henry, Bergkamp, Ian Wright All the PL winning teams had very good to great
strikers ie Vardy, Costa, Aguero, RVP, Rooney, Ronaldo, Drogba, Tevez, Van Nistleroy, Henry, Bergkamp, Ian Wright All these
strikers have scored over 20 goals in a season Very rarely do PL Champions have a
striker who scores less than 20 goals and mostly score in the mid 20's Wenger doesn't understand this and wants to believe its not necessary or He probably believes Giroud is WC
Top teams usually have a backup
of Giroud's quality Look at Spurs.
As for a
striker i really
like giroud and always have admired what he has done for the team so unless there is a
top world class
striker available i.e suarez rues (ehich is very doubtfull) iwouldn just buy for the sake
of buying.
Yeah, we've been chasing so called
top draw
strikers for a while now and have turned our attentions to the
likes if Higuain, Cavani, Benzema to name a few but all
of them, along with their agents and current employers have decided to turn us down.
Its NOT just Giroud its the whole strike force that are absolutly rubbish, I mean yes Giroud misses far more than he scores and that is NOT the mark
of top notch
striker, but Wellbeck is not the finished article and to my mind shows no signs
of becoming so, He seems to suffer from this innate lack
of courage, a lot
like Wallcott does, in laymans terms they sh!t out when it comes to the crunch, Giroud is just not good enough to be the
striker we really need on the end
of Ozil's assists.
what i have seen in copa america that guy would be
like to
like replacement
of giroud.His finishing was so poor he had sony many chances to score against venezuela.Even his hold up play is not even close to
top class.i would bring in griezmann as RW and stick with this same front line, if no other
strikers are available.
Spoiler Alert people, we are not getting anyone in the front
striker position OTHER than what we already have, there was a story in the star yestrday about the 250 million wenger is looking to spend on the
likes of Marco Ruess ect ect and I really can not believe that after all these years the Prof will change his ways and spend all that money and evern if he was going to he needs to pull his finger out as all the
top players are being strongly linked with other clubs, meanwhile we wait for the brat Vardy to make up his mind when we know he is highly unlikely to come to us another summer
of dissapointment for us as wenger has already stated that Giroud will lead the line next season.
Wenger should show ambition for once and sign Lukaku or any other
top striker but with Giroud leading our attack next season we'll get the same results and may be a drop in position because the
likes of mancity are likely to improve.
I am surprised that a
top striker like Laca would join a club that didn't honestly have the ambition to go to the very
top and at least make the effort to win the League title, but he also admitted that it was the French connection
of Wenger and the club that had made him want to join us in the first place.
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.
For a whopping # 42m, Napoli
striker Gonzalo Higuain also seems to be a
top target for Arsenal this summer, with replacing the
likes of Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck clearly a priority.
So I think Arsenal should keep their powder dry in terms
of strikers for now at least, at spend it in much more needed areas
like another
top class DM (let Flamini go) and another rock solid centre - back.
It would not be too expensive and at 30 the
striker is still at the
top of his game, plus his style
of football and attributes make him a
like for
like replacement for our own Olivier Giroud.
Our team is out
of balance in a major way, too heavy on midfield players who
like the ball on their foot and dribble in the middle
of the park and too light on true dominant box to box midfield leaders and too light on attacking goals scoring wide players and void
of a
top quality
striker.
I really do hope this is just another silly rumour to add to the tale because as much as we may want Higuain or any other
top class
striker for that matter, doing a deal
like this is not beneficial for Arsenal come the start
of the season, unless further additions are anticipated afterwards.
You see teams
like loserpool, man shitty, and manure all upgrading their squads and none
of us should think that it will be easy to win the league just because a
top striker came to improve our amount
of goals by 8 - 10.
I don't care if wenger buys 10 beast
like CDM, 5
Top strikers or even if he brings back the invincibles... He must go now or at the End
of his f**king contract.
teams around us have
top strikers like of falcao, costa, balotelli we have giroud and welbeck.
unless we can bring a
top striker like a cavani i rather not bring in a
striker instead invest in the defensive side
of things bring in a quality enforcer and another defender.
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.
I'm with you there mate.He's just an average player beign given many chances.A lot
of average
strikers can even do better because
of the chances Arsenal creates.There are some
strikers who are not
top quality but have very good finishing that if given the same seasons and chances Giroud has had they can do better.I hate it when they make it seem
like only world class
strikers are better than him.He's really only improved from season 14/15 honestly speaking.He used to be so bad and waste a lot
of chances.It's just that become can not see the fact that he's not as good as they think.We will surely be vindicated by his performance for another club.
I thought people here were debating about two or three seasons back why he should be our
top striker.When I thought the Monaco match was the icing on the cake to show how average he was it seems just
like Wenger we» will never learn our lesson.Now people our okay with him being a super sub which is debatable.Giroud was a super sub in games last season because he wasn't played when he was supposed to.He's not your ideal super sub because he very hardly creates but rather requires people to create for him.Most
of the time super subs are the one's who tend to create the chances and open up spaces in the opposition defence.West ham are ready to pay and hence we should demand more from them.We can then use the money from his sale on far better players.Given the same seasons, time and chances a lot
of average
strikers can do better than what he did.This is because Arsenal create a lot
of chances and it just needs someone who can finish.Goodbye!.
However, and I say this as a huge supporter
of both OG and Walcott, if we want to compare ourselves with the
likes of Bayern or Real etc. we need an absolute
top top striker.
I know allot
of fans including myself think it is a ridiculous amount to pay for Martial, but with the hunt for
top strikers proving a scarcely difficult thing to find well maybe gambles
like that should be taken.
But the article exploit the sentiments and wrote the title in a misleading way
like Arsenal is in process
of signing a
top striker and ready to pay him very high wage.
I understand what you're saying bounty hunter, but I feel
like the week prior to big games should be enough time to at least tweak our formation slightly or employ a certain tactic, whether it's counter attack with less possession or playing with two
strikers up
top instead
of the lone
striker, I would hope that players at the level required for arsenal would be able to adjust to this as it seems I tend to hear other teams coming away from big wins uttering phrases
like «we worked on the manager's ideas this week and executed them well», I cant remember our players saying this for a while.
We can get a young Jansen
of AZ or Milik for 20M but if we wan na get Lukaku, Morata, Lacazette or

Following reports
of Arsene Wenger's intention to sell Arsenal's fringe
strikers like Joel Campbell, Yaya Sanogo and Lukas Podolski, there have been a lot
of rumours popping up linking Arsenal with
top - quality wide forwards across Europe.
1 in 2 is ok, but its not
like it was years ago.footballs more attacking these days, we need a
striker who can do better than that
like Aguero or Costa.You say that many elite european teams have sucess without a prolific
striker, but you failed to name them.lol.There are exceptions but on the whole most
of the
top teams have a WC
striker a go to man from Barca (european champiions) to real madrid to PSG and even Bayern Munich all have WC centre forwrards up front.To try an argue otherwise is facile
Unless the current Arsenal
strikers like Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Joel Campbell go on a massive goal scoring spree over the next few weeks and months, one
of the big priorities for Arsene Wenger in the summer transfer window will be to sign at least one
top class forward.
Against
top class defense we have zero
strikers, all
of what you mentioned can not break the
like of chelsea defense
While some will point to bad luck, as it is those pesky away goals that look
like costing us
top spot in Europe to PSG, and some will point to the injury problems keeping key players
like Cazorla and Bellerin out
of the team, our former
striker Alan Smith has another theory.
