From the PL, an upgrade on what we have and getable imo, Cisse, Ba, Bent, Jelavic

Re: which striker should we buy?
and Ba with his rumoured clause is the most gettable...
I agree, all of those are good shouts in that they would improve us
trouble is they dont seem very Wenger signings.
Basically my argument is we need something that is a departure from 'Wenger' type signings
but I would like us to depart by going LARGE

Re: which striker should we buy?
Lefty, I think the problem with most of them is they are not “Wenger type players”, as in they DO NOT like to play tippy tappy pass pass or take 5 touches in the box and then squeeze another pass out of an attack... and some of those mad bastards DO like to actually (this bit is mental!) shoot and score goals...LeftfootlegendGooner wrote:From the PL, an upgrade on what we have and getable imo, Cisse, Ba, Bent, Jelavic

I know, wenger would think they were insane after a couple of games with all that "shooting" stuff and have a sports pyschologist change these lunatic tendancies

Eduardo of old would have scored a hat-trick 9 times out of 10 against that Wales side. It was only because they mercilessly fielded him ahead of Jelavic that it was 2 and not 5 or 6.highburyJD wrote:I didn't see him v Wales, there was a link/vote on twitter about Eduardonorthbank123 wrote:Don't know whether that's serious or not but Eduardo has regressed even further than when he left us if his performance against Wales was anything to go by. Worse than Chamakh.
I think we need to make a splash but did have a soft spot for him
he would need to be tearing it up to be considered, doesn't sound like he is

Putting it simply one of these three David Villa, Radamel Falco or Edinson Cavani. Anyone less will not replace RVP. He was the 3rd best player in the world over last two years. We sold one of the best we need to buy one of the next best.

He'd improve Chelski as well IMO which makes it less likely...
I believe Shenua ran out of money and had to let both Drogba and anelka go

Re: which striker should we buy?
If we've got a spare £350,000 per week, we might tempt Samuel E'to move to play for us upfront
He's been playing deep in central midfield against the victims.

Re: which striker should we buy?
Any of Jovetic, Cavani or Falcao would make me a happy man. We have the money to even buy the first two if we want to, but we don't.

Re: which striker should we buy?
If Arsenal buy a striker it means that Wenger recognises that he was wrong , that aint going to happen any time soon. The "money is there " cliche is growing tired. We know it's there but after today's AGM we know it will be staying there.
If we were to sign someone I wouldn't like it to be Ba..great quality and a great player but we would lose him for January. Jelavic at Everton is a decent striker, can't see them selling. Something about ambition at Goodison , think it's something got to do with improving the team and squad. Crazy idea, will never catch on with Wenger and co.

Re: which striker should we buy?
I thought Huntelaar would have been a excellent buy,is only career blimp has been the 6 mths at RM and a season at Milan but back in a more competitive league with Schalke 04 he's again showing his ability (40 goals in 62 appearances).
