Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

We have absolutely zero chance of signing Suarez.

Zero.

Forget about him.

If Liverpool didn't sell him in the summer then they're certainly not going to sell him in January when they're second in the league. And they're certainly not going to sell him to us.

I think there's no chance of us signing a top striker in Jan as no clubs want to sell in Jan plus it's world cup year so players might not want to leave. You'd also be competing will all the other top European clubs who are desperate for a top striker and will likely overpay eg Chelsea.

That's why I'm looking at stop gaps like Berbatov.

I was pretty optimistic of signing someone like Suarez , but I too have given up hope of getting him.

Lewandowski is probably the most high profile striker we can get.

Wouldn't mind Berbatov either for the time being, he's still a class goal scorer.

Very reasonable. And we can add Lukaku to the list of unattainable strikers because Mourinho is a twat.

Rather than Berbatov, if we're looking for a different striker than Giroud, we want:

1. somebody quicker (a couple of instances yesterday where a striker with a bit more pace would've won us the game)
2. somebody with a striker's poacher instincts. I.e. somebody who would've converted Cazorla's ball across the 6 yard box yesterday.
3. somebody who is half decent when taking more than one touch.

I hardly watch non-English teams but I'm sure there has to be someone Arsenal can get that isn't as good as the top notch strikers, e.g. Van Persie, Suarez, Aguero etc. but still ticks those 3 boxes.

I'd like to see us buy a young striker tbf or get Wenget in the lab and convert Draxler. Basel need to save football and knock Schalke out on Wednesday.

Berba will win us games where we are camped outside the opposition half for 90 mins and havent scored. He is lazy or whatever, but that man can do some special things with the ball. I'd definitely sign him up on an 18 month deal.

I wouldnt mind that Real Madrid kid either.. seems like that deal is dead!

It can be alive and dead at the same time.

But yeah, Draxler is the one tbh.

I'd like to see us sign a South American striker as they always seem to be 'busy' players that can finish. There must be a new Falcao/Suarez/Aguero coming through.

How's our very own Joel Campbell doing? Time for him to come home?
