Giroud is the Old fashion British Center forward
type of striker who plays with his back to goal.
Not exact matches
This is exactly the
type of versatile player that Arsenal need right now, as he can play as a winger or a
striker, and anyone
who can score 8 La Liga goals in 10 games (while not playing for Madrid or Barcelona) is definitely worth taking a chance on, especially for a price that works out at just over 14m GBP without any haggling.
For one thing he is a different
type of player and gives Arsenal a completely different option up top, unlike Theo Walcott
who maybe should be the player that Arsenal are looking to offload now that we have this new
striker with pace and plenty
of goals.
I have always liked Chicarito
who I feel is a different
type of striker to what we currently have.
Wenger likes certain
types of strikers and the only time i recall him getting a player
who is all about finishing is Jeffers, we know how that turned out... there was Suker & Eduardo too but they had something more also a high class
of finishing ability especially Suker.
We need to understand that for our system to work we need a van persie kind
of striker - a person
who is as adept at scoring goals as in assisting, or may be I should say Sanchez
type of striker.
The
type of footballer
who everyone wants on their team and no
striker wants to come up against, Skrtel will take the ball and the man, rather than just the ball just to make a point to the opposition.
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.
Welbeck is the only forward we have
who has most
of the qualities that we would refer to as an Arsenal
type striker, except for his finish which needs to be work on in the summer.
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.
Thats why i think we need a different
type of striker in our squad
who has that kind
of quality.
Welbeck
who actually have the attributes
of arsenal
type striker is not a quality finisher, he could have been in double figures if he actually finish the chances created for him the past season with so few games.
Giroud is the
type of player
who needs those crosses, and he excels with another
striker next to him (just look at him and Griezzman).
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
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!
We need a new
striker of the
type who can not only provided support for the other attackers, but
who can score and add his own dynamic runs to the attack.
cavani probably wont happen not wenger
type of striker (wont play on the wings, non flexible non starter for wenger) like unless some one else said on here if it was on our terms and price (or if the big russian was willing to make a one off donation to cover all expenses then maybe also while we use the rest
of funds to get players we need) then and only then it would happen maybe the growing consensus is a d / m
who covers at c / h (it would have been mbia for free if we got cavani how scary is that) and maybe one more marquee signing for a reasonable price i would bet my house on it (if i had one
of course lol) if we were to offer bvb # 45 million for reus this week or at the start
of next and offered him # 130,000 in wages he would be ours injury or not at 25 years old worth the risk every time.
I personally think that now is where the real genius
of the formation kicks in, two ACMs
who can be
of different
types along with three Forwards, only one
of those have to be a
striker.
So I think if we're buying a
striker, it shouldn't necessarily be for the goals tally but because it provides us with a different option and a different
type of player
who can pose problems to defences that OG can't necessarily pose himself.
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 think we need spain players with qualities, like Carzola for example... A player
of Carzola's qualities can easily catch up with our game not like Olivier Giroud that is taking a lot
of time to adapt to the premier league game, so if i should select the kind
of players we should be having i'll go for 2
strikers which are Roberto Soldado
of Valencia and Falcao
who is out
of our limit cos there're a lot
of clubs on him in which we know Arsene wenger is not the
type of Man that compete when it comes to buying quality players so what i suggest is that Mr wenger should go to Spain and pack as much as he can pack into the squad and let them all play Spain
type of football similar to barcelona's style
of play which everyone knows...
«You have many
types of strikers and he is the one
who is more
of a combination player than a finisher.
United are in good form, with a new star
striker in Robin Van Persie
who loves to score in these
types of fixtures.
If Simeone wants to stick with a 4 -4-2 formation and play another
striker in place
of Torres, then he has two options: either Ángel Correa, another Griezmann
type of player
who likes to move around the pitch, or Luciano Vietto, a more direct
striker who is always near the goal.
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.
