Despite the age I'd probably take Zlatan over Giroud as well. The rest you have a point on though.
Still the "we have to sign a player already better Giroud" is a false choice. No we don't have to sign a already better than Giroud, we have to sign a player "who has the potential to become better than Giroud".
Exactly what I think as well.Quote:

Wenger should earn his money and get back to basics and do a bit of old fashioned coaching, instead of believing only a ready made player can improve us. His best signings have always been players with an ordinary track record.
Either we try something new or stick with what we know isn't good enough.
Is he serious? Thought he was mocking Wenger. :lol:Quote:

The better than Giroud argument....we need a player that's different to Giroud and won't be so static in the box. That's what people need to hold in mind when discussing strikers.
Agree with this. At this stage I'd take another 20 goal striker with completely different attributes, mainly pace and willingness to run with the ball.Quote:
