Which striker do we need in the summer ?

[Marc Overmars]

I think I'd like someone from the PL, unless there is someone abroad genuinely special and wouldn't need a settling in period. Lukaku is the obvious one. I think I read he's approaching 50 career PL goals and he's not even 23, that's a potential record goalscorer there if he can explode at a top club. Would we drop 50-60m on him though? Ighalo would be a good left field alternative.

The one thing we can't afford to do is pussyfoot around though. We need to go knocking on the doors of these clubs, no one is going to fall into laps and I think that's the mistake we made last summer. Be a little aggressive, unsettle the players and put the selling club in a difficult position. God knows we've experienced it ourselves in the past, now we have the money turn the tables in our favour.

I agree, thats why I said it would take balls, which I'm not sure Wenger has.

Surely our new striker, and there has to be one, does not come from Watford.

Not really arsed what club they come from if they're scoring goals to be honest. Giroud's best PL tally is 16. Ighalo currently sits on 14 in his first year and with a pub team, there must be something to work with there.

From the league, I'd get Vardy or Lukaku

Outside the league, its Aubamayeng

Vardy is too old for Wenger and there is no chance of Aubameyang.

Wenger is at least semi-intelligent, he must realise we need an upgrade.

Please get Lukaku.

Sanogo it is then..

Sanogo is the first one out in the summer.

Ospina, Rosicky, Flamini, Arteta and Debuchy are the rest, none are strikers I know.

If Danny Welbeck had slightly more skill/creativity, and a deadlier finish, I'd be happy with him up top. His workrate, and ability to switch between target man and runner is the combination we need, just not at that world class level.

I have no idea who is that type of player from other leagues, but it strikes me that the people crying out for Abumingyan, or whatever his name is, or Cavani etc, are the people that wanted Dezko...and he's shite.

Vardy is a pointless player for us too, as he plays on the counter attack, and we spend most of our time playing in front of two banks of buses.

Lukaku maybe....

[Power n Glory]

We need someone in the mold of Aguero, Tevez, Suarez....a busy explosive player. No more target men that struggle in tight spaces.

My money's on Odion Ighalo. A very Wenger type of signing. Thoughts? (Selassie - as usual I agree with you!)
