Could be a good signing but we'd be building a powerful engine but still have flat tyres. I think we need a significant upgrade up front. Unless that happens we're staying in the same spot.

With Welbz already missing most of next season we will definitely be in for a striker.
100% no doubt about it.
He'll bring Sanogo back or find some unknown from the French league.
He's not going to sign a quality striker as he rates Giroud as top class and wouldn't want to bring someone in ahead of him.
We really should be this summer but Welbeck was injured last summer too.
It doesn't sound to me like he's given up on Giroud either.Quote:

He lives in a dream world.
I’ve never seen Wenger have a go at single Arsenal player to the media in terms of criticising his play.Quote:

And yes I know about last summer etc etc but I’m just talking about the situation we are after those mistakes were made.
I don’t think Giroud is the Golden Boy, I think he’ll find himself behind a new striker this summer.
Pray Giroud has a bad Euro 2016. A few goals from Giroud may convince Wenger again to gamble on him.Quote:
