Hello all.
I've been away as I hate this time of the year same old rumours about the same old transfer rumours !.
Anyhow last night V Southampton great result but probably the nail in the coffin for us supporters if we were hoping of any decent strikers coming in.
I can imagine how Wenger is now thinking after Welbecks and Walcotts performance last night. You can just hear his brain working overtime and saying " That's another few quid we can save. No need to run out and buy anyone. We have Webeck, Walcott and Giroud as strikers ".
If anyone thinks I'm joking ? well you must have been following another team for the last 20 years.😂

Striker-wise, we have; Giroud, Welbeck, Sanchez, Perez and Akpom, as well as Walcott who can fill in. Bearing in mind the top strikers are virtually impossible to purchase, I cannot see any that we could sign better than what we currently have. Of course I'd like Aguaro or Lewandowski, but these players are not likely to be available at a sensible price, taking into account the Chinese and the crazy salaries on offer, I just hope that we come to an agreement with Ozil and Sanchez.

Our strikers always seem to take stick on this page.

We are 2nd highest scorers in prem, 1 behind Liverpool.

Sanchez has 17, Walcott 14 and Giroud about 10 (all comps) .

Ox and Ozil have chipped in about 15 goals between them and Perez has about 6 in 9 games.

Our goals scored doesn't seem to be the problem.

like RG61 said the top draw strikers that would actually improve our current forward line are just not available atm, very few top draw players move in Jan anyway. And in any case even if they were available we just can't compete financially to realistically get them, with or without the Chinese influence. Grizmaanmaybe our best shot but he would have to really want to come to us in the summer if we were to get him over Man Utd cause not a chance we could outbid them, Wenger would have to seriously work the charm.

Ed 02 is there any truth about arsenal in talks with max allegri about being arsenal manager. I know you have mentioned 5 people on a list but he seems to be the one that is getting attention.

{Ed002's Note - As I have said before I really don't want to get in to discussions about the manager situation but I will confirm, as you asked a direct question, that after a third party made an approach to two others (one of which did not welcome the interest) on behalf of Arsenal, the club do see Max Allegri as a viable option if they are to make a change in 2017. I can also say that Arsenal has not spoken to Allegri himself as he is the manager of another side who have not been approached about giving their permission.}

I like Allegri I think he will be very good for us.

As nobody bar Wenger knows whether he intends staying, I can only rely on my gut feeling, which is that he will end up at PSG and I would like us to replace him with Allegri.

We played really well today and we scored loads of goals and that's without ozil and sanchez most of the game.
Made me think did we really need them?

Lol, I was just kidding, of course we do.

But it was very nice to see welbeck back on the score sheet too, great for hos confidence. let's see how we will do without Wenger for the next 3 games and if wekeep wining like this we should stop him entering any game for arsenal ;)
