    All of them are not good value and none of them are as good as Giroud. And I am sane, I promise you.

    Higuain not as good as Giroud? What are you smoking NQ?

    Despite the age I'd probably take Zlatan over Giroud as well. The rest you have a point on though.

    Still the "we have to sign a player already better Giroud" is a false choice. No we don't have to sign a already better than Giroud, we have to sign a player "who has the potential to become better than Giroud".

    Exactly what I think as well.

    We need to take a punt on someone younger. Maybe with more goals to date than Giroud, maybe less, I'm not bothered. The point is you need to speculate to accumulate, there's nothing to say a different kind of striker can't improve and flourish with us if he doesn't already have better stats than Giroud.

    Wenger should earn his money and get back to basics and do a bit of old fashioned coaching, instead of believing only a ready made player can improve us. His best signings have always been players with an ordinary track record.

    Either we try something new or stick with what we know isn't good enough.

    Is he serious? Thought he was mocking Wenger.

    Might be worth checking out clips on the two Gabriel's. They look pretty impressive.

    The better than Giroud argument....we need a player that's different to Giroud and won't be so static in the box. That's what people need to hold in mind when discussing strikers.

    Agree with this. At this stage I'd take another 20 goal striker with completely different attributes, mainly pace and willingness to run with the ball.

    How many substitutions have you made in your distinguished career as a top, top, top manager?

    A younger player would be good for the future but to rely on now as a source or guaranteed goals? No way. If an improvement on Giroud isn't immediately available, we should be looking to get someone that can provide something similar. It we have two strikers that can knock in 15-20 goals, one ready to step in when the other one dries up that would improve our current options of Giroud and no-one else.

    I repeat, we are not signing anyone else.
