few weeks back there was an article on here about injured players coming back and helping at the tail end of the season; the article was big on Wilshire and I commented saying Welbeck will be the one I will most look out or because he offers us something different upfront, either as a striker or on the wings, I also said Wilshire does not register on my radar not because he os not good but simply because we have better players in his role and he has not been missed one jot....

Walcott has been doing well out wide so far this season, and is likely to be given the nod to play off the striker alongside Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, with the former getting his preferred role back after being forced to play as a makeshift striker in the previous two matches, as Giroud will no doubt be taking his slot back.

I see last year as an aberration and as far the tots go TBH they have a very balanced team with an even better coach (and they have a 30 goal season striker).

as for the league, giroud is a 13 goal per season scorer, that is one goal every 3 matches, he is a feature striker, and this wont win anything unless you generate huge output from your midfield... by comparison, henry scored 27 goals in the epl when we won the league...

* We purchase a top quality striker, Benzema, Higuain, Lacazette (choose your pic) * We give Theo a full season to prove himself up front and hopefully he can stay fit and improve with his hold up play, his movement off the ball and finishing has improved immensely (His finish in the FA Cup final wasn't as easy as he made it look... with his weaker foot) and we then sign Reus to play on the right.

I watched Lucas Perez last season and he was quite descent playing as a lone striker.

Welbeck is fantastic, he only played 13 games as central striker last season and scored 8 times.

that tactic worked fantastically at the star of this season where walcott performed and it worked brilliantly for the team but after the injury of Theo, giroud had his dry patch and theo almost did nt even try... and the year before welbeck played reaaaally bad as a starting striker and scored 4 goals or something i think, if he had one worldclass or equally good striker as giroud, we would have enough and wenger could rotate them according to the patch / form of giroud like what he intended to do with walcott and giroud, which i had high hopes for but sadly only worked for half the season

But seeing our current strikers got written off so easily by fan just piss me off Giroud is not there with Aguero, Rooney, Costa — But I take him over Dzeko, Remy, Falcao (at MU last season) Walcott may or may not be the answer, we don't know yet, the last few games look very promising — writing him off as not be able to play as Center Forward or can not hit the 20 + goals per season now is premature.

He can score 30 goals a season but still i don't think that we can win league with him...

We need better though but I'm in full 100 % support of the purchase of Shkrodan Mustafi and Lucas Perez.Mustafi can help Koscielny now.I've been saying it here time and time again that it's not a world clsss striker we have needed but a clinical finisher which we have lacked for several seasons and counting.Hopefully this guy puts Giroud where he belongs which is on the bench.Though a world class striker is good what we have lacked is someone who puts the game to bed in clinical fashion but Arsene Wenger has listened to many people to the extent that if he can't get a world class striker then he can get anyone.If Arsenal had a clinical finisher for some five seasons or so we coulda won the EPL then.Giroud has cost us matches and will continue to cost us matches.Giroud is half decent as someone said here the last time.I expect Perez to be much better if he can take on his man and be clinical in front of goal.

Meanwhile, Inter are expected to sign Boca Juniors striker Jonathan Calleri as a replacement, as noted by Corriere dello Sport, but it still seems a risky move for the Serie A leaders who have seemingly found a good balance so far this season.

Even if Wenger thinks there is no better striker available than Giroud (Only wenger knows why), still he needs to buy a striker as Welbeck is almost certainly out of most of next season, I am sure he would not go for Walcott and Akpon as our backup striker.Hopefully
