We've said that for years with Theo and we're stilling waiting, for whatever reason. They're both injury plagued and Jack is turning into another Diaby. His ankles are knackered already and it'll only get worse. Should've got rid of both of them.

RVP was plagued by injury too but he finally got over it once we started to handle him differently. Things can get better.
If we want a striker and Higuain is too much money, Benzema wants to stay in Spain and Aubameyang has signed a new contract, then what about Javier Hernandez from MU.
I know he is very similar to Theo but he is 27, very experienced, used to English football, and a proven goalscorer.
They sold us Welbeck so maybe they would sell us Hernandez.
What do you think ?
I don't see it happening. I'd prefer we start with Theo or Sanchez if we're going with a shorter player. Wenger's reluctant to start short players up front for some reason. Good to see Theo finally getting some game time up there but it's a rare thing to see. He's had chances to play Vela and Joel Campbell up front but he's reluctant.Originally Posted by dostoy
Best anyone got was two seasons, not worth the effort. Sell the players, get premium UK value and reinvest with players that actually get on the pitch and do something.
But we won't reinvest. That's the problem.
Meh...
The thing is, I don't think we need another striker, purely for the sake of having another striker - our squad numbers are good as they are, and we were only 2 goals shy of the chelsea's total in the league last year. That was with several attackers and midfielders contributing less we should expect from them...
Walcott (7)
Ozil (5)
Oxlade-Chamberlain(3)
Welbeck (8)
Wilshere (2)
...I know some of those guys can point to injuries as a major factor, but the point is they should be well capable of increasing those tallies this year, if they're getting the games. Even Ramsey can do better than the 10 he got last year, given what we saw of him in 2013/14!
What we should be looking for in a new striker is an injection of world-class quality - another player who can break open a tight game, and come up with a moment of magic when we need it. If they're good enough, then we should still see that increase in goals, but for me it's more about giving us an edge in those elite-level CL games and the top-of-the-table PL-clashes. If we're not looking at buying that, then I'm not really that bothered about buying anyone...

If we went two players down like that we would reinvest. How well I'm not sure with Wenger in charge but they'd at least contribute as much as those two who offer minimal impact.
yep - & then go and spend £8 mill of it on the next French 17 year old starlet from their 2nd division.
Sometimes the best way to view other players is through their own fan forums. I remember enjoying the meltdown on Redcafe during Moyes's year & the fans were really anti-Hernandez. They say his ball retention is zero as is his link up play. He breaks down too many attacking moves.
