The striker debacle

[hktoffee]

If we don't get a top striker in then Walsh has to go.

Really should have bought in a main striker before the sale of Lukaku.

Koeman identified he need another striker 12 months ago, and we still have no one. I can't see how we are suddenly pulling a decent one out the bag with 2 days to go. I fully expect another kid or another average foreign striker.

I hope he gets a top class striker in, I just can't think of any moves that will free one up.

This is a balls up

I think it is highly likely that Giroud led us a merry dance and we thought he was coming. He then bottled out or is even still thinking about it. We wouldn't have been buying all those players and not looking for a striker. Someone has let us down

Giroud came out a few weeks ago mate and said that he wanted to stay and fight for his place. Also, in almost all his interviews he has always come across as wanting to stay at Arsenal, think he also knocked Marseille back a while ago.

Wake me up when its 3 days from now and we still dont have one. Until then I cant be bothered with the whining.

I can't see how we are suddenly pulling a decent one out the bag with 2 days to go.

I've been a broken record about this but I think this was part of the strategy all summer. Both us and our (striking) targets were seeing if we would qualify for European group stages.

I would take Benteke right now. At this stage that'd be a coup.

 

[ilikecheese]

What's Chris Samba up to these days?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Sack the board

Definiately. With 2 days to go and we were supposed to make enquiry on a Championship striker.

 

[Carlito]

Slimani seems the most likely.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Oumar plus cash for Benteke. (A lot of cash)

 

[nsno-chris]

Cherno Samba
Freddy Adu
Tonton Zola Moukoko

Any of the above

 

[Blue Parkender]

Slimani seems the most likely.

Yes Slimani would do me i think there is a good striker in there if you play to his strengths.

 

[maccavennie]

Cherno Samba
Freddy Adu
Tonton Zola Moukoko

Any of the above

Cherno Samba done boss for me on FM, had him for Wrexham and Bergkamp was just assisting him and he was slotting for fun

Great days.
