The position that will make the biggest impact on the team is a top striker. A CB would be nice but we have Kos, Per and Gabriel who between them helped us concede only 1 more goal than the lowest in the league last season. Defence is not a priority. Holding as a 4th CB is sufficient if not ideal.
Giroud and Akpom as our only recognised strikers and back up of the likes of Alexis and Theo is far from sufficient. We need a striker more than anything.
Another overhyped attacking midfielder
Well, basing it on Saturdays match it blindingly obvious that our weakness was not being able to score. A striker is what we need.
Defence was very good to be fair thanks to king Kos.
Sanchez was dreadful btw. I have no idea why he was superb for his country but gives the ball away constantly for Arsenal. Is this why Barca let us have him?
Also, it doesn't matter what anyone wants or thinks because Wenger has lost the plot and will do whatever to do the opposite of what everyone is crying out for.

its because he is playing as a CF. a position he has never really played at. pointless tactics from wenger
----------------------------------
That doesn't excuse him from giving the ball away, wherever he plays.
Yes it is pointless tactics but then Wenger doesn't really do tactics.
Sanchez comes back for the ball all the time and can't be a target man. The best option is to play him with another striker, but we don't do 4-4-2 formation.

Wenger has left it so late and the prices are becoming so ridiculous that I a swaying to the point of view that either we don't buy anyone and stick Akpom up front or we bite the bullet and spend on a world class striker. I have to also point out that this crisis is all of Wenger's making. Had he not dithered, there were decent strikers available at the beginning of the transfer window. I for one would have been happy with Janseen.
We need a striker bad but we ain't getting so it's pointless talking about it really, I fear for us this season.
No striker again
