Giroud misses more than he hits, Walcott has NEVER delivered his expected talent, Welbeck will NEVER be the striker to score 20 goals a season Coqellin will NOT go a whole season injury or suspension free, Sanchez and Ozil WILL have down period during the season, all teams have these problems to a greater or lesser degree but most of the top teams will address these problems and players either inprove or are sold and replaced with better or at least more consistant players, NOT Wenger he keeps doing the same thing over and over with the same players and he expects a different result but gets the same outvome time and time again, yet its ALWAYS someone else's fault be it the Ref or the linesman or the opposition or bad luck or whatever and whoever and its NEVER the fact that HE has done nothing to change the situation and LOOKS LIKELY to not change it next time around.

I keep getting surprised when people talk about our «striker crisis» and we need world class this and world class that — Alexis has scored more goals this season as wide second striker than Chelsea's main man Costa.

goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something when Giroud misses many chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has Giroud as the main cf and Welbeck as backup to him.Giroud has done well scoring some goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based on content.Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of play is ok for us but a striker who can take on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but as the saying goes if you fool me once shame on you but if you fool me twice shame on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?

Cazorla is far better than Ozil in my opinion... We wasted 42M to replace our best player (Cazorla was Arsenal best player the season before we bought Ozil)...

The season before we bought Ozil our best player was Cazorla (AMF) and we were in a desperate need for a striker (still we are) and Higuain was availabe for less than 30M... Ozil is good (more than good but not for Arsenal) but I think it was a panic buy in the last minutes to pleased the frustrated fans due to lack of actions in that window...

To be honest Arsene, there wasn't really much football to talk about, but the fact is that every Arsenal fan knows that without a new striker we have little chance of the title this season, but according to him, the protests from the travelling fans are simply because they are being led by the media rather than making their own mind up.

No, Sanogo is terrible but Podolski I have reasons to believe that had he played the same amount of games as Giroud he would have more goals than Giroud, and Podolski was only played once, twice atmost as a striker last season, you can't really judge him on that.

Also we could've still got better strikers than Giroud this season I already named some in previous article, and they would've been cheap too like Lavezzi and Huntelaar, for first team football for Lavezzi and UCL football for Huntelaar.

Wilshere getting injured isn't new just how after Wenger does not sign a capable CF for the 4th season in a row and we finish 4th this season you will see the SAME PEOPLE around this SAME TIME next year who said the squad was good enough, you'll see there will be no injuries if everyone stays fit so we don't need to sign players or we don't really need any striker we have Giroud (a player better than Rooney and Henry who it is very very very very HARD to find any better player than him and whom some fans here will discount any other player better than him to prove he is good enough).

26 year old striker Remy is currently in the middle of a season long loan spell at Newcastle United and has once again proven himself more than capable of scoring regularly in the English top tier.

I really do nt see any legs in any of these stories about any more transfers, The evidence is all there among all the smoke and mirrors, Look at the evidence, Wenger stated that Giroud would lead the line next season and as such we have have only seen any real movement towards buying a striker in the purchase of Asano who clearly is nothing more than a shirt selling move.

He's vulnerability a lack of Height during set pieces (I.e Giroud being the only realistic target because of his height and the fact he is a striker) has meant our CB «s are playing a bit more up top than they should be and because our midfield is mostly attacking defusing the situation / stopping opposition attacks in the first half of the season wasn't happening, the second half we had coquelin but if he gets injured, without any cover at CDM we end up in the same situation.

We need a Top striker capable of over 20 goals per season Lacazette or Lukaku or Icardi (not Mandzukic who is as good or maybe worse than Giroud)

While I agree we would need to change to get the best out of Ramsey, Giroud simply needs someone to fight for his place, rather than running him into the ground each season because we have no other real strikers.

That is better than not having any striker the whole season — that would be madness!

.2 nd I think we have more pressing needs further up the pitch and we should only be getting involved with this dude after we have sorted out our striker situation and not before, he will not come.cheap and all that dosh will be better use getting a proper striker because that is where we lost the championship this season and needs addressing sooner rather than later

Academy players to integrate * Toral (had great season with Birmingham, if Xhaka comes Toral will go) * Akpom (if we buy a new striker like Lacazette he will be loaned out again) * Hayden (yes a CDM, can't be worse than Flamini or Arteta, if not he will be sold to Hull) * Jeff Reine Adelaide (time to take the big stage) * Gnabry (Campbell replacement and could even leap over Oxlade).

It depends on Wenger's ambition more than anything wherein players like Theo have shut their mouth up after stating last season they don't need extra striker.

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..

A striker who has never scored more than 15 goals a season (in all competitions!!)

With Walcott's form ever inconsistent and The Ox's injury concerns every season, it would be no surprise to see that Wenger play Lucas on the wing, rather than as a conditional striker up front.

The Swedish international has bagged himself a large amount of goals this season, despite being 35 years - of - age, but if you are to delve into his record, he has more misses than any other top striker in the Premier League.

If he is a one season wonder and can not recover last years effieincy or if he gets injured, we might regret not signing Schneiderlin more than not getting Benzema or an other top striker.

but, here's a little reminder of his importance (i) upon arrival his was the goal that catapulted into th CL; (ii) when others were tired and unable to respond he has the strength of character to fight to bring us into the game; (iii) he scores the goal to save us face in FAC after last seasons fiasco; (iv) he is without equal our best player so he already earned the right to be in the highest bracket of epl strikers, we need sanchez desperately we've no choice other than to pay # 320K + and build into his deal performance rated enhancements so as we're all able to move forwards.

All last month i stayed away from this site becouse i know this site is full of akb licker who love more arsen than the club.i new cos we won few pre season micky mouse trophy they will think we will win the world cup.youve been crying out for world class striker n dm midfielder since hendry left.but does he fix the problen no.but them akb lickers will still defend him cos they do nt care about the club they only care abt there loards wenger job.

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.

Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off

This is not a criticism of Liverpool, who are of course totally within their rights to pursue a player who has scored more goals than all of their strikers combined this season, but it is a warning.

If Giroud was a world class striker he would have scored more than 16 goals for us in a PL season.

Walcotts one good season doesn't make him anymore of a world class striker than Danny ings... He isn't in my books and doesn't possess the necessary qualities to become one....

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.
