Which striker do we need in the summer ?

If Danny Welbeck had slightly more skill/creativity, and a deadlier finish, I'd be happy with him up top. His workrate, and ability to switch between target man and runner is the combination we need, just not at that world class level.

I have no idea who is that type of player from other leagues, but it strikes me that the people crying out for Abumingyan, or whatever his name is, or Cavani etc, are the people that wanted Dezko...and he's shite.

Vardy is a pointless player for us too, as he plays on the counter attack, and we spend most of our time playing in front of two banks of buses.

Lukaku maybe....

We need someone in the mold of Aguero, Tevez, Suarez....a busy explosive player. No more target men that struggle in tight spaces.

Put together a money no object bid for Lewandowski and spend the entire summer unsettling him, tapping him up and treating his family to all expenses paid shopping trips to London - like our rivals do. We should have nabbed him several seasons ago, but his 40 goals in 42 games last season (something like that) is not top, top, top, top quality. Failing that, Kalou on a free.

should have gone for Griezmann, still can of course but would need a mega bid that can't be turned down. We always miss the boat, if we do sign a striker (can't see it happening as Wenga thinks his pet project crocks will come good and become world beaters) it'll be another guy with an average record, Wenger never seems to sign players with proven track records of goals.

There's young guys like Berardi as well who wouldn't be a bad bet.

Juventus have a surfeit of good young strikers. Choose 1 and give the old lady whatever she wants.

My money's on Odion Ighalo. A very Wenger type of signing. Thoughts? (Selassie - as usual I agree with you!)

I think signing someone like Ighalo doesn't really improve us a great deal.

I think the striker position is one that we can improve the most so we should go all-in on someone truly world class.

No idea who that might be.

Sturridge - think he would fit in perfectly at Arsenal. English player who likes being injured.

If we are going to compete with the elites then it will take £60-£70 mill to get the striker we need. I don't trust Wenger to find a cheap alternative who isn't dog shit. If we are going to bum around waiting for another season where all our rivals are in chaos then some average turd with one decent season under his belt should allow us to slug it out with the spuds for the minor placings. Ambition or no ambition is the decision.

We need a right sided goal scoring attacker more than a Giroud replacement.
