Attacking reinforcements needed in January

I can't believe some fans think we don't need to sign any attacking players in January. Don't be fooled by the stats, we only look like scoring when opposition gives us acres of space- that's exactly what happened against Spurs, Reading and Southampton where we did the bulk of our scoring. Our forward players don't have the ability to come up with something when we are struggling to create chances and that's the difference between us and the Manchester clubs.

We urgently need a striker who is good with his feet and can get behind defenses and a creative wide player who can take some burden off Cazorla. Our play is far too one dimensional right now and we will struggle to create chances all season if the squad stays the same.

Players like Cavani, Fellaini, Ben Arfa are not interested in playing for Arsenal. We are not a big enough lure for them anymore.

I think we need a physical midfielder more than anything else. Diaby is never going to stay fit, we need to replace him.

Also Arshavin would be very helpful if Wenger played him but he would rather persist with an out of form teenager, a clown with the touch of an elephant, a midfielder with the pace of a snail or 2 strikers who want to play up front, instead of giving Arshavin, the only player who looks like creating something from wide positions, when he is on the pitch.

Cavani would be great but we need a solid DM so we can push Arteta bk up. He's wasted playing so deep. Mvila and Cavani would do me nicely.

M'vila is always my choice, and Gotze and Reus my 3 dream signings. and then maybe the EPL's closest thing to C. Ronaldo, ben arfa. we would defo win the league then haha.

M'Vila is horrendously overrated.

First of all we need our midfield done OP.

There's just no variety in our attack, Giroud is our most likely source for goals and that too when we are putting crosses in the box. Through the middle there's just no threat whatsoever.

M'vila from what i have seen is hugely overrated and has a poor attitude.

We need Felaini or someone like him in January. We badly need someone in MF who will break up attacks and then counter attack. maybe play Kos there ? he was the only player filling this role today.

How do you really insist of that nonsense again and again is beyond me. We are not dangerous from the middle because our midfield is too slow, cant pass or put a cross in and cant shot.
