Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[JonasTC]

Giroud works as hard as anyone in the league, wins most balls, challenges for everything, brings the midfield into play and his one touch flicks often put players through on goal leaving the opposition defence ball watching, not to mention his goal scoring which is not bad this season, a goal every couple of games.
Michu looks a bit more mobile but our team doesnt need another tall striker who can play as a target man, we need an henry type who runs in behind and gets goals out of nowhere. can you honestly say that having Michu would help us beat the big sides and challenge properly?

I'll give you that Giroud is better as a target man, taking the ball down, etc. But Michu does most of those things aswell, but he is not just a target man, he is more of a complete striker, who has the speed to get behind the defence and he is a more clinical finisher who seems to keep calm when he gets into good positions, he hardly fails, which Giroud seems to struggle with. Its unfair to compare anyone to Henry tho, he is a legend

Remy has been in good form this season but he still has that rape charge hanging over him. Until that's resolved, I don't think we can consider him.

I agree - if he's found innocent I don't want him.

When was the last time Giroud set up a goal with those flicks? It’s a good attribute to have but far from essential. We have more than enough players that can set up goals but not enough making runs, stretching play and finishing moves off. Having some many players forward will catch us out because the midfielders are always having to make runs from deep whilst Giroud is dropping deep. If they’re not trying make runs beyond him, they’re just making moves around the final third without any real penetration. With the wrong combination of players on the field, it will leave us exposed.

We do need a speedy striker up front that's able to exploit space. Someone playing alongside or just behind Giroud wouldn't be a bad idea but I just can't see Wenger changing it.

500 million on Suarez, do it Wenger

500,000,001, tbh

I think we're too obsessed with a striker that can also create chances. We just need one that has pace and has a strikers instinct.

Being linked to signing Diego Costa for £30m

That can only be random media bs. Right now he's performing better than Falcao, so cant see him go for anywhere under 45ish :s
