It is a dilemma because they are all quality home grown players, so I can not say «get rid of them all» — Give our smart attacking players (Sanchez, Cazorla, Ozil) what they need, a striker... that is a must — Strengthen the flank with another quality because all the sights now on Sanchez — Get rid of useless team players (Campbell, Flamini, yes they are useless) and replace them with better players (promote or buy good ones)-- Loan Chamber... 16M is too much to ruin

We finally have a solid striker (even if he will take some adaptation time I think he'll be true class) in Lacazette, we have solid center backs (once they are all healthy) much better than in recent seasons, Giroud is our killer weapon off the bench rather than the key we are relying on as the main source of goals, Coquelin and Elneny are now midfield fall - back options rather than Flamini (no offense Mathieu, I appreciated your efforts, just making the obvious comparison), two high quality keepers, etc..

Sanchez has the quality to play in between midfield and the striker position as well as pace to break beyond the defence.

yet you highlight some questionable areas as well (DM depth and Striker quality).

I think only barca real or Bayern can tempt those players away from leicester, they would give at least a year to the club, but season after that they will move onto other club depending on their form next season.As for arsenal transfer i wouldn't want to listen to rumours as most of the times these rumours are just utter garbage.i want a certain rumour about Wolfsburg signing giroud to be true.Anyways if our idiotic manager has some sense left in him after an embarrassing season he should get a premium striker which the club needed for past 4 years.He need to put his ego aside and his old philosophy of waiting for players to develop.We need already established players in every department of our team.Penny pinching has cost us just pay the damn money get the players.I get the feeling next season is going to be harder and we have less chance of winning cause man city have had 2 seasons without premier league and guardiola is gonna bring more quality and hunger to that team.

lst season at stamford bridge, was the first time i saw that 4 -1-4-1 formation being used, and for some weird reason i feel a very strange negative vibe and well all know the outcome.the manager has come back with this formation and its not yielding result, but he still sticks with it.i do nt know much about formations dear friends, but if you are playing a slow dm in arteta and a very very slow cb, then you are toast against quality teams with sound tactics.wen playing wellbeck as a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTas a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTS.

My happiest moment in the past 10 seasons as an Arsenal fan will be waking up on August 8, 2015 for the first premier league game of 2015/2016 and knowing that its a reality that Giroud is not the striker who we are pinning our season on and that we have signed a top quality striker.

I believe Wenger is happy to go with Giroud as his nr 1 guy next season, and will dip into the transfer market only to look for a decent (and not top quality) striker as back - up to replace Welbeck.

I am very baffled as to why we haven't signed a striker yet.I liked diego Costa as he was that finisher in arsenals mould and he went to chelsea for not an astronomical figure.The quality and quantity of strikers have dropped drastically.I saw Harry Kane's performance against us and i think he is that striker with vision as well as finish like costa.But he is at Tottenham so i think he wouldn't come as well.Benzema maybe better than giroud but is he the finisher we want (i don't watch la liga).

A quality Striker such as Podolski does not need to back track and defend, he must challenge the Defenders and wait for counterattacks, a striker role is to sprint from midfield to goal, is not running all over the pitch as I see GIROUD and WELBECK, defending posts against corners, no wonder at the 60th minute they disappear, you need strong legs to scStriker such as Podolski does not need to back track and defend, he must challenge the Defenders and wait for counterattacks, a striker role is to sprint from midfield to goal, is not running all over the pitch as I see GIROUD and WELBECK, defending posts against corners, no wonder at the 60th minute they disappear, you need strong legs to scstriker role is to sprint from midfield to goal, is not running all over the pitch as I see GIROUD and WELBECK, defending posts against corners, no wonder at the 60th minute they disappear, you need strong legs to score....

In turn, that has forced the Chilean tactician to field Raheem Sterling as his striker at times, and evidently it appears as though he has acknowledged that he needs more depth and quality in his squad in that area.

One things for certain, we must have similar quality at Striker as the Aguero / Costa / Kane / Ibras of our fellow contenders without compromising our LW having to put Alexis there.

He used the game as evidence to show that our striker is not actually the quality player that he has been hailed as.

Clueless player... Ramsey works hard but lacks the first touch anf finesse to be top quality midfielder and doesn't create enough as he thinks he's a striker... Coq is work in progress....

He's not as good as strikers we've had in the past and he does lack pace but he has a lot of great qualities and fits the team well.

That is a rare quality as most strikers out there are too one footed.

They bring different qualities, much like alexis vs Giroud at striker... Ospina is much better at reflex saves and probably does nt get beaten from range as much as Cech does, however Cech is much more commanding in the box when it comes to crosses and corners which is vital in the physical premier league, thus its all about what you are looking for in your keeper.

If we don't have a great striker (or we still have Giroud as the main striker), another quality DM, a cb that can take Mertersacker's position (whether Gabriel steps up or we get another cb) and to a lesser extent a goalkeeper, ** we will not win the EPL and CL.
