I fear another Giroud kind of striker is exactly what Wenger will look for. I don't want Morata because he's similar in style, if a little more technically sound.
We need an RVC at his peak. Man that cunt was good.

Hopefully this signing means Ramsey is no longer first on the team sheet. He needs to improve drastically or be sold.
I don't think Giroud is by any means a terrible player, just a) clearly doesn't suit our style of play and b) isn't prolific enough to merit being played week in, week out.
Alvaro Morata who seems to be our top transfer target in terms of Strikers doesn't appear to be the solution either. If we employ pace on the wing the best attacking option will always come from playing the ball across the box in behind the defence for a quick striker to make good runs and find the net. But we also need someone who is quick enough to run off the shoulder of the last defender to make use of long passes played to him by either Ozil or someone like Xhaka.
I'm not really sure why Xhaka has been bought in first, from what I've seen he is excellent both defensively and technically but until we sort out other areas of the pitch he's a bit like buying a Rolex watch for a man with no arms.
We need as many WC players as we can get to make up for Wengers inherent ineptitide. 5 world class players are the minimum required just to keep us from slipping behind the other clubs. 7 or 8 to see us really challenge. I think even Wenger has realised that next year will probably the toughest since he arrived here. 5 proven young hungry outstanding managers at clubs with resources all trying to nick our 4th place trophy. Its obvious that Wenger wants to keep this job. Next season will see him literally in the Dragons Den trying to prove he knows his shit, so you can bank on a striker coming Morata or someone else, thats for sure.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
Central midfield was just as much as a priority as another good striker really. If not more so to a degree. Our middle pairing was a mess once Cazorla and Coquelin were sidelined and we can't rely on that pairing longterm - or any other from our current squad - to help us find some cohesion in our play again. That starts from the distribution of the ball from midfield, so if we have found a solution to that, it should equal meaningful control of the ball and the game and more opportunities to score. Then hopefully a more ruthless striker to take advantage of that.Originally Posted by Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie
Anyway, welcome Xhaka. Hope you turn out to be an absolute beast of a midfielder for us.
Just not sure how anyone can watch Arsenal play and think this is true.
The second West Ham match was the most glaring example of this not being true.
Xhaka does the job of Coquelin and Cazorla but with more passing range, and size. He also gets the ball forward quicker and can collect the ball deeper and can build in the first phase which Coquelin just can't do. Elneney does not have Xhaka's passing range nor does he spot runs as well as Xhaka.
This move will liberate Ramsey and we should see a return to the form he showed from January 2013 to May 2014. But we need a healthy Jack with those 2 for this midfield to reach its potential.
Also Özil will not have to drop as deep to collect the ball.
Per 90 minutes, he is a 1 goal in 2 games striker.
This guy is legit. If we can get him, we get the speed and power we been wanting in a CF since van Cunt left.
I have faith he will be a goal scorer too.
I hear Giroud has the best goals to game ratio after Aguero this season..... Is he the solution?
I am unsure of Morata being the guy to take us to the next level.
Cool
But Giroud is slow, cumbersome, and no one is throwing £40-50 million bids for him. Also don't think Juventus is desperate to get him like they are with keeping Morata.
Morata is a big and pacy forward with excellent movement and technique. I'm confident he will do the business wherever he goes.
Yup
I think part of the problem is that Coquelin and Cazorla work best as a package, and fill in the blanks in each other's games really well - the two of them together is a beautiful thing, but lose one and you kind of lose the whole attacking or defensive side of the heart of the team. Given the frequency and severity of the injuries we pick up, that's a worry.
The two only played CM well together but the best midfields have one player to do both of their jobs. Now we have that one.

I should say...I cannot confirm that is true, but he was in 6th place in February. The point I'm making is a 1 in 2 goal ratio is nothing particularly special although it is obviously good. Juventus are far more concerned about Dybala as far as assets go.
Morata has good technique but I would be intrigued to see if the fan base as a whole would accept that as our main business as a forward this summer. I've just seen that he is only 23 and 6'2 so a good size but I hear that Real want him back anyway so they can make a profit on him..... and nobody has thrown out a 40/50 million bid for Morata either....
