Fair enough, I just wonder if he'd still be playing top flight football if he had been at United from the start with such a horrendous injury record, Fergie would have shipped him off ages before his eventual recovery, dare I say he was destined to win the Premier league the season he won it with United anyways, he was the hottest striker in the league for those two seasons, the only thing we lacked in his final season at Arsenal was enough creativity behind him and a lack of suitable replacement to take ocassionally take the load off him, but then Cazorla, Poldi and Giroud had been brought in for re-inforcements, he played with a patently inferior team to Arsenal's that season at United, with the exception of Rooney of course, he single handedly carried them to the title, what away to show loyalty.

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

Should this even be a topic?Giroud is a player of average quality always surrounded by good players.I just don't get.It's as if only Arsenal fans rate him.This was a player who was bought to be the leading striker at Arsenal and after his years of failure which many deny he's now become a super sub?How laughable is that.From failure to super sub.If the so called world class striker we're signing goes out with an injury for about five months who comes in then.It seems to me people lack vision.Why is it always Giroud Giroud Giroud?After so many seasons people are still debating what souldn't even be debatable.I've lost count of the number of times he's been talked about here.This is the problem with our club.It's just not ruthless.This is a player who should have been gone long ago but due to him being French he still gets the chances.We won't miss him when he goes and I'd like to see if he'd stand out in a smaller club.

We still don't have a decent striker besides for Giroud, Coquelin is still our only good CDM, and we might lose Cazorla to Atletico still... I really hope Theo just signs da thing.

1) GK — better 2) LB — same, possibly better if Gibbs improves, Monreal has plateaued 3) RB — better as Bellerin will only improve 4) CB first pairing — same, as the BFG is getting older but he can't get shorter or slower, 5) CB second pairing — better since we didn't have a pair last year 6) DM — better as Arteta is now back up and Coquelin should get even better 7) Box to box — better if you think Ramsey and Wilshire still have room to improve and are still being kept out by Carloza 8) LW — better, Sanchez might not get too much better but Welbeck is an improvement on Podolski 9) RW — same if Theo moves up front but Ox and Gnabry have lots of room to improve 10) CAM — same 11) Striker — better as Giroud / Theo is stronger than Giroud / Sanogo

It's better if Arsenal use the money they would have used on Mbappe to strengthen the required positions in our team.That would be the wiser thing to do.Besides it likely Mbappe will stay for at least one season before moving and to me he should.What is Wenger waiting for?Why not just go all out and sign a striker even if that'll be our only signing.Arsene should just sign someone who knows where the net is.I still can't believe wevmissed out on the EPL to Leicester.It was all down to poor finishing.Even if it was meant to be for Leicester there's a reason why everything happens.

Chelsea only have one real striker, Costa and two average back ups Remy and old Drogba and they still win the league.

We have ONLY one main striker and if he's not in the form that he should be (because he's not the striker we need to win the PL) then we have no one who can really seek out the oppositions net, The last two games we have been mediocre at best Im still NOT convinced that Wenger still has the magic he once had despite a massive improvement in form

maybe because he the only available striker, but in my opinion lacazette is not yet what we need «still lacking» he does nt have the ease to barry the ball past the keeper.

How on earth are we going to sign lewy???? to be honest I see IBRA as the only available striker right now he still has lots to offer and I'm sure he wouldn't mind a spell at the bpl... getting IBRA would be doable, true he's 33 but he has at least 3 more top draw years lefleft in him.

Though he is still only 23 - years - old, Lukaku is widely considered one of the best strikers in the Premier League, if not in the world.

Even when we spend # 50 million on a better, younger striker, and everyone knows Wenger only plays with one up front, Benzema is STILL linked with a move.

Don't get me wrong I would love mahrez but I think we could still win the league without him, only a striker and a change of tactics are holding us back.

Still only 24, Lukaku is certainly up there with the finest strikers of his generation and looks well on his way to becoming a legend of the modern era if he carries on like this.

Well im not in a wonderland he has his failings as we all do and great teams find a way to win good teams sit where we are 6 -5-4 but thats besides the point and it would be nice if your aunty had bolocks cause then we d be second but ive watched the games were an offensive team most the time although were terrible in the pissing rain but for the most part the game plans have worked weve created chances quality scoring chances one after the other problem is for me the finishing unless we sit back with 9 man behind the ball or ten when you push forward you will give up a goal if you lousy forwards fail to finish the set ups have been there this year but our strikers have failed to kill the games if we create quality chances and grab leads in the first 60 minutes like we have for the most part and in those games those games should of been killed even if we give a goal or two alongside the strategy but we failed to hit multiple should be goals we tried laca we'll see abou auba although hes a bit lazy so far but we'll see but we've lacked that quality in front goal a player the chances have been there im looking at the failure of the strikers and maybe that is his fault but monreal has scored as many goals recently as our strikers and thats sad our defenders or a midfielder will score and our stikers cant tally one in th first 60 mins of a game alongside them then were tired for last 40 give them hope there still only down one and we rue our missed chances while they push thats where iv been frustrated with this season not the tactics but the finishing

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!

He is not a quality striker because he makes a lot of mistakes in his game.The fact that he scores 20 goals does not mean he is a quality back up striker.It is one thing to be a goal scorer and another thing to be a good or average player.Goal scoring is a very important aspect of a player but not the only aspect.Trust me you can score 20 goals in all competitions and still be average.If Chamakh, Gervinho and all the so called flops scored this same goals they would still have been considered not good enough for Arsenal.His game is just not good enough and I for one believe even if no one believes that we can get a backup striker who is better than him and also a top centre forward.Its all about mentality and willingness.Forget his goals and look at his game or else you'll force me to bring up strikers in the world who have scored his same goals and are even considered terrible.

Well your righ with met spend but in amount paid out for players no net were 5th but i agree our champions league performances have been poor we had some tough draws and the premier league is more demanding then the other leagues in strwnght of competition and games played still excuses do nt win but that monaco loss left me shaking my head in cl we get theough the group but cant muster the strength needed for knockout and we should be performing better were under performing for the talent xhaka has frustrated me hes got the talent and plays well but cant hold focus in games he drops off and loses his marks our academy is doing well but yes it is tougher now to break in to the first team iwobi has done well but one or two seasons away from being there if he does turn himself elite ever has to score or he will just be another ox but i think its been a wake up call to the club we finally have to act theres a wave of ideas to not only get us back to winning ways but become title contenders and i think give him the extension one year its a world cup year and that will also allow our players esp strikers who been very poor this year realized its tough to play in englad and next year will have a better idea what it really takes to win here shore up some spots and depth and were in contention fail and the changes will happen but let him have one more year the fact were willing to spend shows me an upturn from the decline

This transfer window has really been something and still 1 hr to go The incoming lacazette and kolasinac are good and actually strengthened LB / LWB and FW position monreal is getting old and we can not rely on giroud our only real striker
