Who is noone ?
We signed him a few years ago apparently.
Do you mean no-one ?
We sign him every year.

I think we dont need to buy a striker. We just need to change our playing style and use Alexis up front with Giroud or even Theo with Giroud. I wouldnt mind us buying some quick wingers to add width to the team though.
None of the strikers that are mentioned for trillions of dollars are a serious upgrade on what we have. I would rather we looked internally to solve the striker situation and rather focus on the bigger issue we have- our playing style.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Our playing style isn't going to change, Xhaka is proof of that, he's a Wenger player, a slow, passing midfielder. We can't rely on Giroud, Alexis and Walcott, Giroud goes missing for half the season, Walcott is awful and whilst Alexis is very good, he's played through another summer and is going to be burnt out, eh already struggled a nit in parts of last season.
We need a striker and we need a CB, we should also get rid of some of the midfielders and bring in someone like Draxler that can score some goals from the wing, this team just doesn't have enough goals in it as it stands.
None of this is going to happen of course, but that's what we should be doing.

Best outcome is for Wenger to get England Job
It's never happening but Higuain is a level above Giroud. No doubt.
£80million better? Or say £60mill if we twist their arm and then offer ours to be bitten off. I'd rate them the same - inferior to the top tier strikers, and in the end that's all that will count. Wenger's already shown us what he wants to spend - £20mill. That doesn't get us Troy Deeney these days. Silly old sod should have given Vardy that 4 year contract he wanted. But stubborn old, has-been gits will be stubborn old, has-been gits.

I think Im taking my time getting used to these new transfer fees. Im still in the era of Zidane for £50mil (ish) and Figo for £45 mil (ish) when I thought, "yeah, they are at the very top of their games, they are probably worth that". Now Im seeing Higuain for £60-70mil, Pogba for a reported £100mil, it seems most half decent national team players can command almost whatever they like.
I want us to sign a striker, I really do, but if we are spending £60-70mil, then they need to be massively better than what we have. If Higuain is a £60mil player, that must make Giroud £40-50mil right? 24 goals last season in all comps, premier league player, France striker that starts most games for them. TBH, most of the strikers Ive seen us linked to are rather underwhelming. They may be slightly better than Giroud, but thats it.
Mad world.
He plays for Cardiff

What you have to remember is that clubs like West Ham and C Palace aren't thinking twice about spending 30-35 million now, that's all down to the TV money, clearly clubs are rolling in it, we have been for quite a while of course, we just want to pocket the profits rather than improve the team. You move with the times, clubs have been all too happy to see these massive TV deals and that's whats pushed the fees to ridiculous levels, you go with it or get left behind.
As for quiff, let's not kid ourselves, he's OK but he went 15 odd games without a goal at the most important stage of the season, no decent striker goes through a drought like that, there's plenty better out there, if Giroud can score 20 odd goals a half decent striker will get 30 with us easily.
That miss in the Euros where he was clean through and just needed to look up and pass rather than fluff his lines completely sums him up really.
