    I'd take Remy as well. Would rather have him for 10 mil than Costa or Cavani for 40. Just want a pacey striker who knows where the goal is, don't care if he doesn't cost the earth. Spend that money on Bender and Draxler.

    I wouldn't rule out Cavani. He'd be a special player and if available we should pursue. But I doubt we'd be able to afford him.

    But I agree with Remy also. Explosive pace is the key thing we need if we can't find an elite striker that pull off something special when the service dries up.

If we're going with our heads then there's only one choice there.
    Yep. For some reason I think Griezmann would settle in a bit quicker, I think he would offer better stats too. I do agree that Draxler does have "world class ability" but I have a feeling if he does get to that level it won't be for a while.

    Aye, Remy would guarantee us goals but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him being first choice striker, if we go for him as first choice we might aswell promote Theo to first choice striker.

    I personally think Remy would make an excellent backup striker, in fact I think we should bring him in.

    I am still undecided who I think should be our first choice but we should be looking at players like Cavani, Balotelli etc, 2nd tier strikers who have potential to be bonafide world class performers.

    I think we can rule out Cavani. PSG bought him for silly money (£50m+) last summer; they're not going to sell him for less just a year later.

    I'd have liked to have taken Blaise Matuidi from PSG if they hadn't already tied him down to a new deal

    Sure, someone at the "Cavani" type level, someone like Balotelli, he'd be a risk...but if Arsene sorted him out we would have some player on our hands.

    Completely agree.

    They have to lower their wage bill so we might be in with a shot regarding asking price but I'm not so sure about his wages.

    I wouldn't exactly call Cavani second tier...though there is clearly not much room left round the sides of Ibrahimovic's ego over in Paris....

    Having said that, Cavani has flattered to deceive a remarkable amount of times in the biggest games, but in truth it can be easily forgiven if he fills his boots up against the cannon fodder. Ostensibly he is precisely the sort of player we need. Physical presence, reasonable speed and a great finishing record scoring most types of goals....

    I agree with you somewhat on Remy and I'm not sure he is a centre forward never mind a first choice striker for a club like ours but maybe I'm being harsh on him. I see him as a wide left player really for us (though we may well be stocked up there) but incidentally he would provide another option at centre forward. Nothing wrong with adding depth though and to bring in a player of his quality on free is not the sort of gift you will be presented with often.
