He is lying third in the PL top scorers half way through the season with 12 goals and only Aguero and Costa in front of him. Sanchez is next in 4th.
I haven't seen much of him play so want to ask those that have seen more if they think he could do a better job for us than what we have. Frm the little I have seen of him I don't think he is really what we want but its still worth asking the question.
Hes not cup tied for CL which is a positive and the lure of a top club could force the move. We could offer Giroud or Sanogo the other way plus cash to sweeten the deal, or even both. Akpom could take Sanogos bit part role if we did.
I'd rather a proven world class striker, but finding one that Wenger will spend money on and is available will be virtually impossible, so this is another option.
Is Charlie Austin worth a punt?

He played with walcott at u10s apparently, forming a lethal partnership, we could rekindle that!

He looks awful every time I watch him. I mean he'll score but he's just so championship, his style of play, his hair cut, the way he celebrates. Just very Championship.

Heh, I think exactly the same. He could score 30 this season and I probably still would.

I'm a lifelong R's fan and he's been our lifeline this season, but i think the world and is dog know he ain't the real deal.

No, let Spurs or Liverpool buy him, he'll fit in better.

I guarantee that you're one of those who complains about the squad not being good enough. Then you suggest signing a Championship player like Charlie Austin. I see Arsenal fans go for the flavour of the month, every season.
Bottom line is, Charlie Austin is not an Arsenal player.

I said that from what Ive seen of him he didn't look good enough but it was still worth asking the question what others think. He is 3rd in PL goal scorers at the moment which is a good achievement.

Nope... he more like in the Everton/Liverpool,Spurs level... Might look decent in the lower level, but then again... even Lord Bendtner looked great at Sunderland and Birmingham
