Unfortunately, the Thierry Henry type of striker doesn't exist in abundance the way we think, and if a club is lucky, they will get just one player like that but not up to three.
Not exact matches
He isn't that much different to Giroud, def don't need 2
of the same
type strong but slow
strikers.
Sure, we
do need that
type of striker.
I just don't think he will ever be more than a hot and cold
type of striker.
50 - 70 mil
striker might win you crucial games in EPL and CL... If we got that one we won't be knocked out every time from 16 - round
of the CL, we might have taken the chances that we had against Utd and Chelsea... With this
type of thinking we lost our title the season before when we were top
of the league and I genuinely believe we lost that to City because we
did not add
striker as a main reason...
Milik is a focal point
type of striker (he doesn't remind me
of Lewandowski).
We
do need a different
type of striker, with pace and dribbling skill, who can get in behind opponent defence, and more clinical in front
of goal.
He is a target man
type of striker and has
done a great job as such even if some
of you won't admit it.
Secondly Nolito is more
of a wingman than a
striker and although we don't have too many recognised wingers at the club, especially not to a high standard
of ability, we should be focusing less on another midfield
type player and instead be targeting a player who will be a regular upfront and be able to deliver to the high standards in front
of goal that we expect.
It's because we don't rely on Costa
type of strikers.
The team was built in a way that we were waiting for a certain
type of striker and I think now everybody knows that Chelsea
did the right thing in waiting for him and not going into the market in the summer
of 2013 or January.»
I
do nt mind Rob Holding
type of signings but why hasnt he got such a
striker yet?
Giroud, well we all sort
of new his form would come to an end not just because everybodys eventually
does but because Giroud isnt the
type of striker that can
do just as well no matter what tactics we face.
Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass
of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends
of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best
of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note
of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many
of the traditionally dominant teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't
do him any favours; by playing him out
of position and by not acquiring world - class
striker and / or right - side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss
of Cazorla, who took a lot
of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk
of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I
do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first
type of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to
do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments
of greatness undercut by long periods
of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste
Its a pity Africa for some reason
do nt dole out the same
type of numbers and quality in there
strikers.
whatever you think
of ramsey... and in my books he is a decent b2b but certainly not top class... he is not going to control the area between edge
of box and centre line which is what all great DMs
do... nor has coquelin proved that to me... he is a guttusso
type player and has improved massively in that role... not convinced it is what will take us to challenging for titles however which is why a cavalho
type DM is a needed addition especially as arteta and flamini are obviously not up to the task... but have always said that wengers job is to get best out
of ozil santi and wilshere who are the real creative world class strengths
of this squad... they need protection behind them and options in front... at moment the real worry is that wenger will continue to use mertesakher at CB and fail to bring in quality
striker... so the song remains the same... without quality DM and attacking option we will be trying to retain 3rd place and reach qf
of cl
After all there can be no doubting that Tottenham now have a fantastic squad and a great manager who should help them make a dent on the top six whereas work at pushing Newcastle United up the ladder is still ongoing however i
do think this is just crazy paper talk, i am not sure he is the
type of striker Ramos is looking for and it appears to be a deal Tottenham aren't even considering so the Sunday Express (Where this story appears to have originated from) probably made up the story in the first place!
Innit is correct John, I
did mean
type of striker, rather than specific players.
Slow
strikers does nt suit our
type of style
of football.
typical story when we end up with someone we
did nt want to in the first place and deep in us we know he is not that
type of player who we want... giroud is for me laughting stock, this guy is better but he is not henry we all know that... and i
do nt know what is happening with wenger,
did he truly belive that he is gonna lift trophy with girud, remy, sanogo upfront... others clubs
strikers, costa - drogba, studridge - balloteli, jovetic - negredo - aguero - dzeko, rvp - rooney, lukaku - eto» o, soldado - adebayor, michu - w.
I cant understand some fans how can you say a player like villa cud not
do a job at arsenal he is a world class finisher something we
do nt hav at the moment as much as henry is a god at the emirates lets face it last yr he cudnt give us no more than 15 mins a game the pace had left him plus he iz now 35 david villa to me regardless his age is one
of the most prolific
strikers out there like tola said look at raul villa is that
type of player theu might lose pace but neva lose the knack
of scoring goals wenger bring him in and another thing barca as a big club shud be ashame
of themselves still owing arsenal money
of those transfers for such a big club arsenal shud be going in for more players than jus david villa
I like Lacazette and I worry for him — he's a Defoe
type of striker and that just doesn't seem to be the way forward in this team or this league.
Despite scoring 48 goals in two seasons at the Bundesliga club, the
striker does not seem to have the
type of game that suits Guardiola's Tika - taka style
of play.
Winger - cum -
striker Walcott is something
of a luxury lightweight, the
type of player who regularly
does well playing against West Ham rather than for them.
