This is actually a bit of good news, OK it does not address our pressing needs for a striker etc but we have just signed an english player who has won an international competition and that is very rare.

Not exact matches

Maybe worse it will be Sanogo leading the line, I'm still waiting for the inevitable press conference where Wenger says we don't need any new strikers because we have Giroud, Sanogo, Akpom, Walcott and Welbeck to come back later in the season

Those three players are great, but still haven't solved our most obvious, and most pressing needs, namely a top cb, a solid dm, a proper right winger, and a true striker - and before you ask me who they are, or how many «top» players in those positions are available, look at Leicester and West Ham, for instance, and tell me where those guys came from — and whether they were considered «top» players before now.

We need to press higher up the pitch and not wait for our opponents to settle, organize themselves and pass our «DM» for us to start defending, and when we have the ball, we need to have atleast two players (the Striker) and another midfielder willing to make runs in the box.

My guess is that AW will spring for a DM only after he gets his striker, which is a more pressing need.

Yet they already have the best match - winner in the game in Cristiano Ronaldo, who they may struggle to accomodate with Gareth Bale, and the need for a striker was far more pressing.

Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...

And while he hasn't stopped innovating — the guy mentioned expected goals in a press conference — Arsenal still haven't bought that striker it seems like they've needed for the better part of a decade.

about time, something is amiss, especially when we have the likes of Walcott now qualifying for the Fran.Jeffers Award for non-playing I do wish M Grenouille would put an end to all the press speculation on transfers, it is obvious to me he needs a BIG striker and a BIG centre in order to compete on the on the search for Tin Mugs I get a bit pissed off when i read «Le Rouge Hareng» about all the various «goings on», it's time M.Grenouille spilled a few beans and helped our nerves, we are, after all, what makes the Club survive Regards to World - Wide Gooners

The overwhelming need for Spurs this summer must surely be one or two senior strikers but the press continue to link the club with players in just about every other position bar goalkeeper.

However when the striker was pressed whether he would like to stay at the club next season he was adamant that he would try and fight for a starting place — however he would need to talk to Jurgen Klopp first.
