Lacazette? Impressive goal scoring stats last season but we bought Giroud on the basis of one good season so I'm naturally skeptical.

Don't get me wrong we should definitely be going in hard to buy a striker, just off the top of my head I don't know who that top quality striker is because the three best ones in world football are all owned by one club.

Muller? Look at his goal scoring stats and not so impressive

Reus? Not really a striker, but I don't know maybe could play in that position...might be asking a lot of a player his age

In Giroud we have a wiltord, the task is to find our Thierry Henry
I hear your what you’re saying regarding the quality available or the type of players we deem to be suitable or not suitable for the squad. But our assessment and judgment is irrelevant at the end of the day. If Wenger has a list of players he wants and there is someone at the top of that list, I’m assuming he knows they’ll improve our squad and that he has a plan for that player. At first I thought we had a problem identifying suitable players but that doesn’t seem like the case. This is the difference between Wenger and his peers. Fergie went all out to sign RVP from us and was willing to pay a high fee on an injury prone player. Why? Because he knew that;s what his team needed to challenge for the title. Jose made sure he got Costa and Cesc because it was clear he was missing a playmaker and striker last season. Why aren’t we doing the same? It’s just so risky and this sort of thing has back fired on us before. We should have a squad together training during pre season and ready for kick off.
