and the consequences of buying a world class one?
I just don't get it. Since Henry left we have never really addressed the striker situation. Yes the likes of adebayour & rvp have blossomed for a odd season or so but other than these two, we have struggled in this department.
We were linked to ever striker possible in the summer but ended up buying ozil and no one else.
Now with Walcott injuried (can play striker role) we are even weaker in this area but against, with Jan windows coming to a close, we have been linked to no striker of substance.
Against, the press today are linking is to Gourcuff! Where is he meant to play?
Does wenger not want to upset Giroud or does he genuinely think we don't need one?

Darren It was only a response to that WUM Elvis, although the comment does seem to ring true.

I guess the thing is that being on big wages isn't that big a deal really, especially with quite a few players being moved off the wage bill.
His injuries are a concern, though. But having Mata now makes it less of a concern because we have a player that can replace what Rooney does in the hole and move Rooney up front if he cannot stay fit, and then have a quality backup player.
As he's our best striker I worry about the injuries, of course, but I've seen quite a few people saying that maybe he should be moved on because he won't play all the time and is on big wages, but then why complain about us not having a good enough squad and then want to move on a class player?

D'you guys not worry a little bit that Moyes won't be able to get the best out of Mata? I'm being sincere btw.

Yeah I do a bit. What I'll say about Mata is that he seems like he can step up when needed, he carried Chelsea at times.

Yeh a little, but we have to give him a chance. Moyes is too cautious for me, but hopefully he'll adapt to being the United manager and become more adventurous. He's said that he wants us to play attractive football and the players we've gone after seem to support that, so we'll just see what happens.
