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.
