than a striker from now on.
Not exact matches
We still miss obvious chances and i would feel much better if i depend on
strikers to win muches
than golazos
from defenders snd midfielders..........
I could have understood if we had unearthed someone
from Argentina / Chile / Brazil (historically have had some great
strikers) but someone
from Asia — its a PR gem — nothing other
than that.
If only we can cry over the spilled milk, I would have take Higuain
from Madrid over 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.
Giroud scored two goals but was useless the whole game.Loan out or sell Giroud, Gibbs, Elneny, Wilshire, metersacker.Buy a tall, pacy and skillful stiker pay 85 million for
striker alone Mbappe get isco or lacazette for 50 million add kolosanic that's less
than 200million available for rebuild plus some more cash
from Deadwoods.Get Allegri, leow or simione but, that's me not kroenke
he always misses chances
from 6 yards.with giroud as our
striker forget about winning anything.even akpom is better
than that hair gel
striker.
Sell him to Munich in the summer and buy the
striker we need, on a positive note, well done Danny welbeck, have to admit I don't rate him but he was great last night really impressed me, maybe he can develop to b much better
than I thought, hope so, also Montreal deserves real credit for his huge improvement
from last season.
He scores more goals
than your beloved
striker Giroud, but scoring
from the wing.
Wonder what you lots would be saying if we have bought fabregas and chelsea got ozil with costa in front.and to all «if chelsea win the bpl, its cos of fabregas» announcers here, i say if chelsea win the league its cos of their whole team and most importantly costa.the thing that prevented them
from winning it last season was lack of a proper
striker like costa which jose testified to and not because they did nt create enough scoring chances (they created more scoring chances
than us last season).
For one thing he suffered more
than once
from not having a top top quality
striker in front of him and teammates that let's be frank are wasteful in front of goals (Walcott, Welbeck among others).
I can give you the names of 6 unheralded
strikers (4 South Americans and 2 Africans) we could have got for less
than 15 mil and who would have given us another dimension All of them can give you quality through the middle and
from the wings.
Isn't it ironic that when a
striker moves
from being a big player at a small club, they more often
than not become a small player at a big club?
Aside
from his fantastic play during Euro 2008, Pavlyuchenko has looked more like a one - trick pony,
than a lethal
striker that can play on any level.

He scores more goals
from the wing more
than your darling
striker (Giroud).
A lack of supply
from his teammates could be highlighted by Lacazette's fewer shots, although he has been more clinical
than Morata, converting 30 per cent of his chances compared to 21 per cent
from the Chelsea
striker.
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.
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
Its NOT just Giroud its the whole strike force that are absolutly rubbish, I mean yes Giroud misses far more
than he scores and that is NOT the mark of top notch
striker, but Wellbeck is not the finished article and to my mind shows no signs of becoming so, He seems to suffer
from this innate lack of courage, a lot like Wallcott does, in laymans terms they sh!t out when it comes to the crunch, Giroud is just not good enough to be the
striker we really need on the end of Ozil's assists.
Ever since the German midfield star became the record Arsenal transfer when signing
from Real Madrid a couple of years ago, people have suggested that he needs a
striker with better pace and movement
than Olivier Giroud to really get the best out of him.
We've got to have full backs and wingers
than can actually take they're man on and provide for a
striker that can always be available to benefit
from this forward momentum and that can anchor the
striker to afford to stay high and in the box.
That is still 27 goals scored
from open play and a better return
than any off our
strikers since RVP left.
Arsenal's chief made a very calculated move in targeting Henry, as he already knew his style
from Monaco and had no doubts that he'd do a better job as a
striker rather
than a wing that he was at Juventus.
giroud, lecoq, are gud backups to hve in the squad but not a first team player for a team wanting to challenge for epl.coq has got to improve slightly on the ball but off the ball he is gud.everyone knows about giroud and I don't think a gud
striker is enough for us.we need a very clinical guy not a guy who will be going through dry patches coz thats guaranteed
from a gud
striker.gibbs is tricky he is a gud option to hve on the bench but if we scout someone younger and better
than him then I think we can sell him for both the clubs sake and himself coz he hasn't progressed as a player.what I find shocking is bellerin back up is jenkinson worth a team challenging for epl?I don't think so and we should find an able guy there
than fool ourselves and next season we pay for mistakes again.
I still think Welbeck is a better player
than Giroud (LOL what a shame Manchester United 4th choice
striker is better
than our number 1) but I think Wenger bought the wrong
striker from United.
After reading some stats, in 2010, Crouch was the 3rd highest
striker out of the top 100
strikers in the BPL to score more goals
from headers
than foot.
So Arsenal fans will be less
than chuffed to hear the words of the Watford
striker Troy Deeney who scored and helped the Hornets to that shock victory over us at the Emirates stadium a week ago, because he accuses Aaron Ramsey of shirking away
from a tackle which could have stopped their opening goal and made it a much different game.
Don't get me wrong — I said
from the beginning that Benzema wouldn't be sold unless Real Madrid were replacing him, like they and Barcelona did with Özil and Sanchez — but the fact that we have an obvious need for a
striker and a cover DM, Wenger / those in charge seem to be content with the current squad makes me sympathize with Robin Van Persie for leaving when he had bigger ambitions
than what those in charge had.
Wanting another
striker might have more to do with Welbeck
than it does Giroud but up until this latest spell
from Giroud prolific isnt a word i would describe to him, hard working clever and a good standard of finishing is how i seen him before coming back.

I'm with you there mate.He's just an average player beign given many chances.A lot of average
strikers can even do better because of the chances Arsenal creates.There are some
strikers who are not top quality but have very good finishing that if given the same seasons and chances Giroud has had they can do better.I hate it when they make it seem like only world class
strikers are better
than him.He's really only improved
from season 14/15 honestly speaking.He used to be so bad and waste a lot of chances.It's just that become can not see the fact that he's not as good as they think.We will surely be vindicated by his performance for another club.
I thought people here were debating about two or three seasons back why he should be our top striker.When I thought the Monaco match was the icing on the cake to show how average he was it seems just like Wenger we» will never learn our lesson.Now people our okay with him being a super sub which is debatable.Giroud was a super sub in games last season because he wasn't played when he was supposed to.He's not your ideal super sub because he very hardly creates but rather requires people to create for him.Most of the time super subs are the one's who tend to create the chances and open up spaces in the opposition defence.West ham are ready to pay and hence we should demand more
from them.We can then use the money
from his sale on far better players.Given the same seasons, time and chances a lot of average
strikers can do better
than what he did.This is because Arsenal create a lot of chances and it just needs someone who can finish.Goodbye!.
campbell or sanogo should go on loan now and replaced with 30 * brazilian jonas free agent 80 - 82rating prev valencia main

not sure, but if you that's true then it's because we have no other
striker than him... soft touches, double passes, hold up play are not great at all for
striker... scoring goals
from half chances, passing defenders, put fears into them, these are great not yours...
We may not have a world class
striker, but as a unit I think our attack is as good as any other in the league, because we get goals
from all over rather
than just a main
striker like Aguero or Costa.
Any fears that his powers as a
striker are on the wane at 34 - years old should be eased by the fact that his last season in France has been his most prolific ever, with 46 goals
from 49 games, including 36 in the league at a rate of more
than one per match.
Aguero has notorious injury problems and was merely a talented
striker before his move
from Atletico, both missed more
than a month through injury and both scored 20 + goals.
Arsenal can not pay money to sign quality
striker because no top
striker will cost less
than 50 million and there is talk of 130 m bid for Mbappe
from Real, Barca and PSG LOL.
Is Wenger and his flock honestly saying that that there is no other
striker on planet Earth better
than Giroud, apart
from world class?
Finding a more mobile and more anticipating defensive midfielder would be more important
than getting a tall
striker, because Arsenal are often easily hit
from quick counter-attacks.
There are better
strikers than Harry Kane out there (although not many) and he isn't a player who's willing to keep the bench warm while someone else reaps the rewards
from the fans and the manager.
Sanchez is the better
striker with a more all round game, scored with his head, scored
from outside the box, scored tap - ins and made his own goals and that is only after less
than half a season of playing the central
striker position.
He is a very hard worker, but if you are going to win titles or big trophies then you need more
than that
from your
striker / winger.
can't we get
strikers who are better
than these big names
from less popular leagues.
Nice to say our wise and great leader writer but whether it translates on the pitch is another matter altogether.The problems in arsenal honestly is more
than 2 signings however those two signings are coming to the position where we need them the most so we will take it so.But is he really going to do that as
from his actions it implies we do not need a new dmf but for a
striker i think it crosses his mind at times.He just needs to do the right its like he has lost control or something.I just do not get him again.Imagine dropping Ox who is currently our most effective and best player right now as he is in form.Then he puts Gabriel on the bench for who.He is kidding.He then keeps players who should be released or sold and plays them.This is nonsense.
1 in 2 is ok, but its not like it was years ago.footballs more attacking these days, we need a
striker who can do better
than that like Aguero or Costa.You say that many elite european teams have sucess without a prolific
striker, but you failed to name them.lol.There are exceptions but on the whole most of the top teams have a WC
striker a go to man
from Barca (european champiions) to real madrid to PSG and even Bayern Munich all have WC centre forwrards up front.To try an argue otherwise is facile
I'm with you Jonm Signing top
striker from Dutch League had been more miss
than hit 27 goals is really impressive number but if you look at the 2nd top scorer in the list is Luuk DeJong, it put thing into perspective.
Dybala is very versatile, able to play on the flanks, as centre forward or behind the main
striker and he is very promising but with less
than 100 Serie A games behind him he is far
from being the finished article.
To win the PL we at least need to win 25 matches to be within a shout of wining it that requires a minimum of 75 goals without conceding so we need attack minded players and defensive minded players
from looking at our attaching force gerouid around 20 alexis 20 thats 40 we need another 35 and
than we have the champion league and cup matches on the top of it all we got to consider form fatigue knocks and injuries can the midfield score another 40 another 40 goals have to come
from somewhere so physics tells me so another good
striker with 25 so goals is required for the math to make any sense
