let's use your same arguments... GIROUD is a great SUB and yes indeed a Game changer, for WENGER was his first and
only choice striker... if Giroud did not injure back then, he would not have bought Welbeck and by the way he was not planning to buy anyone, someone on the board made the last minute decision for him, while he was receiving the blessing from the Pope and giving thanksl for the great job he has, were he is not being held accountable.
Not exact matches
Not
only Juve don't need Giroud because they have Higuain, Dybala, AND Mandzukic, but there's absolutely no way Wenger will allow his second
choice (at the moment)
striker leave in the middle of the season.
Walcott lived 10 happy years off Arsenal,
only coming good in rare moments while Giroud will never truly be a top
striker, despite being Frances main
choice.
This being said, Arsenal have supposedly had a long standing interest in the Lille
striker and have been scouting the Moroccan forward since January, and are the
only top Premier League side that could guarantee Boufal Champions League football, plus a position as first
choice striker.
Add that to the fact's that he is
only looking for a
striker because of Danny Setbeck's longterm injury and that Giroud will be our main
striker next season, So the answer to this equation is» Don't expect much» (Start looking for a fourth and fifth
choice?)
I believe Wenger will say that Giroud has proven himself as our first
choice striker after the four goals scored in the last two matches of the season, and with Welbeck out for «
only» 9 months, we can rely on Walcott (who will sadly not leave the club) and Akpom
For a potentially third -
choice striker, that's not bad business at all, especially as he cost
only # 10.5 m last summer.
only chance for Theo is because we don't have a
striker who can claim first
choice and think Theo will become too one dimensional alone in CF role.
The impending return to fitness and first team action of first
choice striker and England international Daniel Sturridge is
only set to push Balotelli further back down the pecking order and, with Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert preferred ahead of him in recent weeks, the Italian's prospects do not look great.
we won cuz an OG from Palace and now we are contenders??? 2 games no clean sheet yet for our
only signing and we are yet to play with the big guns, that is ARSENAL problem the fans are deluded as their Manager, GIROUD is a fair good
striker but far from be a first
choice for a club like ARSENAL, WENGER spend you old toot.
I don't think we are doing badly but our
only attacking option is on the right with Sanchez we need pace on the left, I love corzola but either play him in the middle or bech him, Arteta is doing well although I'm not a fan Giroud is an excellent 2 nd
choice striker Eg would he get in Chelsea, City or even utd side NO I WILL PREDICT IF WENGER DOES NT SEPND IT WILL BE 3rd / 4th again every year we are promised and wel fall for it, Sign Reus, Carvalio, and a decent young CB and we can do it
To be honest with you I'd prefer all those second
choice strikers you mentioned above apart from Njie and Origi.I also rate Hayden higher than Chambers because I feel he has more potential but is very injury prone.Those who have watched Isaac Hayden should know this and those who watched them when they played Southampton would know.He outclassed Chambers in that match.Bar his injury he will make it and is a born leader by example as in his play.The players I'm sick and tired of seeing is Mertesacker and Giroud.Yes
only these two.For the rest I'm opk with them.People still think Ospina is better than Szczesny because of Copa America and stats.Oh!
A
striker's job is to score goals, even if they do nothing for 80 mins like Van Nistelrooy as long as they get the goals that's all that matters, Giroud must be 2nd
choice we will never move forward in the Champions League with him as our 1st
choice striker and
only delusional fans will believe we can!!!
In terms of signings: GK - in: either Pickford / Lafont out: Ospina (don't want him to leave but it seems inevitable) RB: in: Mario Gaspar / Hugo Mallo / Karsdorp / Pereira / Cancelo, out: Debuchy and Jenkinson CB: in: Van Dijk / Manolas / Tah / Keane, out: Mertesacker, Gabriel (keep if we play a back 3), bring back Chambers LB: in: Mendy / Kolasinac / Bertrand, out: Gibbs CDM: in: Nzonzi / Bakayoko / Danilo Pereira / Carvalho / Tousart / Diawara, out: Coquelin CM: in: Isco / Jorginho / Keita / Weigl / Kovacic to play the santi role, out: Ramsey, Wilshere Winger: in: Lemar / Douglas Costa / Lucas / Zaha / Balde Keita - someone who can beat a player, out: Walcott (scored quite a few goals this year but does not impact games the way someone at their prime should)
Striker: in: Lacazette, out: Giroud (
only for a good offer though, he's a decent super sub, however if Sanchez stays we may not need a first
choice ST)
Martinez looks great on Youtube (I watched too) but fact is that he is
only third
choice striker behind Falcao / Bacca in the Colombia lineup — so to the expert he may not be that great.
Unlike Debuchy who automatically wanted to be first
choice even if Bellerin was performing way better than him, Giroud actually delivers when called upon from the bench, Giroud's
only sin is that he is not blessed with pace to break clear of defences but in every other aspect, he is the perfect
striker, even Ozil's assists dried up when Giroud was absent.
With a view to offering a strong option to keep first -
choice striker Diego Costa on his toes the Premier League title holders are readying a move for Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette, despite the fact that the French international has
only recently signed a new contract with the Ligue 1 club.
Arsenal came back in style against AC Milan last night, despite
only having our third /
choice striker, Danny Welbeck, on the pitch.
don't think people wanted him to be no. 1 when the transfer window was still open, people had no
choice after Wenger says we have enough quality to win the league, and OG is the
only main
striker, and the transfer window closes with no panic buys
And you expect Madrid to sell to us Benzema so that we can have four
strikers but for them to play with their second
choice Jese and to remain with
only one
striker through three competitions.
Coaches are paid to produce results on the pitch and yo win trophies for the team.If a coach fails those basic things then he is not go enough and must leave.Sucess or failure comes down to the decisions of the coach ranging from decisions in the transfer market, training methods, team selection, tactics etc.Looking @ the transfer market - Wenger has a shambolic record - failure to act decisively and always acting when it's too late, selling our top players to rival clubs, leaving other positions thin and reinforcing wrong positions especially buying lots of attacking midfielders ignoring defensive positions and failing to buy top class
strikers or decent
strikers.If Wenger is really serious about winning trophies would he buy a player like Welbeck a fourth
choice play at Man United whom Vaan Gaal said is
only good for the bench and now he plays every game at Arsenal.Why sell Vemaleen and buy Chambers?
A world class
striker whose
only weakness is his injury proneness, Sergio Aguero should remain first
choice upfront for next season without a doubt.
He's supposedly our third
choice striker, meaning in effect that we
only have two
strikers in our squad.

only started once since suffering an ankle injury at Swansea in February and has been displaced by Wayne Rooney as United's first -
choice striker.
Berahino has managed
only seven goals during the current campaign and having endured a fractious relationship with manager Tony Pulis, the youngster is no longer the first
choice striker at the club.
That Roberto Firmino is and will remain first
choice isn't surprising news — not
only do his 23 goals and 13 assists rank favourably amongst any of Europe's top
strikers, but his play at the tip of the attack is integral to getting the most out of Mohamed Salah.
As a third
choice striker he need
only make sub appearances and fill in when we have injuries or cup games.
Chelsea's first -
choice striker Diego Costa has managed to scored
only two goals in the Premier League this season so far, while Loic Remy has also failed to make an impact this season as the Blues find themselves in 16th position in the league table, one point behind Norwich City.
but he does seem to be a natural goal scorer and I think you can
only say that about 2 (maybe 3) of our current
choice of first team
strikers
When our first
choice striker is missing we need someone who not
only possesses similar attributes to him but as importantly can be relied on to score goals and unfortunately Solanke isn't that player yet.
Higuain was looking for more regular games and with fellow Real Madrid
striker Karim Benzema in the picture, a move from Spain was his
only choice.
While Pav is one of
only three recognised
strikers at White Hart Lane, new arrival Emmanuel Adebayor has quickly settled into a first
choice partnership with Jermain Defoe which has left the Russian consigned to the bench.
