I think Vardy is a great player who will definitely get goals at Arsenal considering the chances we create.
However, 20 million for a 29 year old that has one good season under his belt may not prove good value if he doesn't adjust to our style of play!
Split on this one.

I'm split too Marbella. Though not just if Vardy adjusts to us, but if the approach we take utilise him best - especially as he may not have a couple of years to bed in.

Vardy has proven he can score against the best in the Prem sides, so I certainly would be hopeful he could do a good job for us.

That said, I'd be worried that we'd press too high to utilise him fully and he'd end up no better than theo or olly, or push him out wide with similar results. We could make a transition to play more counter attacking against teams like barca, planning to use xhaka and coq, play deep and counter with Vardy. but will we? Would be great to see.

I think getting any proven striker that would contrast with Olly could be great, as long as we tweak tactics to utilise them. Still gutted that it's not happened for Theo tbh.

Duvan zapata?
Anyone know if he's any good.
We need a proven striker.
We can't just keep taking chances on players hoping that they'll turn in to a Henry, anelka or sanogoo.

Wenger's skill is finding relatively unknown players and turning them into top players; Bellerin, Koscielny, Elneny, Coquelin, etc.
He has also bought top stars; Cech, Ozil and Sanchez.
Our first signing this summer, looks to be a top notch aquisition. Wenger stated that he is looking to sign 3 players in total and I don't expect him to buy two more finished articles at high cost. The CB he is reportedly after Is Bolton youngster Holding, which makes sense as we have 4 centre backs and I would expect Holding, if signed, to go out on loan and come back the following season to replace Mertesacker in the squad, when his contract will expire.
Forward-wise someone of Zapata's stature sounds likely, as we have Giroud and Welbeck when he returns from injury. Akpom may remain at the club next season and Walcott can play up front.
In respect of Zapata, I don't know his value, but let's assume £10-15m.
Therefore Wenger could sign: Xhaka £30m, Holding £2m and Zapata £10-15m, making a total outlay of £42-47m. He will sell to balance the books, possibly: Szczesny £7m, Debuchy £5m, Oxlade £15-20m, Campbell £10m. Total £37-42m.
I would like to see at least two more top quality signings; a CB and a striker. I also believe we need quality cover at RB.

We won't go for zapata, not good enough.

Steve r - you are possibly correct, but who should we buy, that is available and within our budget?

4.) 28 May 2016 18:02:18
Haven't we already proved the strikers at the club aren't good enough to mount a serious challenge for the league?
If so then we are already setting our stall out as also rans for another season.
For me the one available that would be a definite improvement is Morata though my dream signing that in the realms of possibility is Higuain.

If we are serious we will sign the striker by paying the money to do the job like top teams whom aspire do.

Definetly not worth that. What about aubmeyang. Surely it's worth competing with man city for him. Reminds me of Henry.
