Analyzing Arsenal’s centre forward options
Olivier Giroud
Aside from a few dry spells and bouts of inconsistency, Giroud enjoyed his best season at Arsenal. His 14 league goals were second behind only Alexis Sanchez despite missing the majority of the first half of the season. On his day he is unplayable, using his size and strength to hold off defenders and combine with his teammates brilliantly. He brings the midfielders into the game and drifts into the space created by the combination and movement. When his shootings boots are on, he is sensational in front of goal, but that isn’t always the case unfortunately. The first leg of the Monaco tie sums up what Giroud is like on his off day, and he has limit the amount of those if he is to lead this team.

All of them are good players , but non of them is outright cutting edge goal machine striker who can score 20+ goals a season . Arsenal need badly to sign a world class striker and wenger can rotate these players up front to score between 10 to 14 goal a season to help the main cutting edge striker for Arsenal to have any chance to win championships and trophies.
I truly believe Wenger must start Theo as his # 1 striker. Based on my study he should score 26+ goals as an all out striker.
Theo
Caz Ozil Theo
Ramsay Coc
Monreal koc Mert Lightning fast
C- man
When you look at the ‘top’ strikers around their goals to games are no different to Giroud’s or Sanchez. Higuain isn’t going anywhere, Benzema is moody, Lacette is untried, Cavani is too expensive you then have the next tier down. Costa was good up to Christmas and then little contribution. The idea is great but the realisation is something else. If and it is an if Walcott can put in a relatively injury free season you might find we have enough for a Plan A and B. We have an abundance of creativity behind the front line. If we got Carvalho and another defender that may be enough.
I agree 100%. Theo should be our #1 striker with Ozil Caz & Sanchez supporting him. Def mid could be Ramsay & Coq. Though a strong Def mid should be on the menu.
In summary we dont really require a striker with the talent we have….once again in order- Theo Giroud welbeck
Ridiculous! I don’t think we need to dishearten our prolific strike force with a big name! Seeing as Sanchez has equalled Henry debut season, add that with a fit giroud and a hungry Walcott, with a wilshere showing us some of the most exciting football from a Brit since…ever, not to forget goals from ozii n 21 ox!sorted!! He will shine this season!!!
