Arsenal F.C. Thread

[pgardn]

Not at all, but you need two viable strikers when playing a brutal schedule. Would Suarez/Higuain be better than Giroud? Maybe. Are they both also different strikers than Giroud? Yes. Giroud is a big physical type, good in the air and poaching around goal. Suarez/Higuain, especially the former, are good at creating for themselves and making things happen with the ball at their feet. What I'm saying is that different defense's require different matchups. If you can tailor your attack to what is being thrown against you, you'll have an advantage. A big guy/smaller guy combo with different skill sets would allow Arsene to do just that.

I fully expect Wenger to find a striker in the mid-season window, btw. It's also worth noting that AFC approached Villa about Benteke late last night before the window closed. Maybe he'll try again in January?

In the meantime, it looks like TGSTEL and Sanogo will fill in for games against weaker compe ion, and Walcott can do a decent job if Giroud goes down (a nightmare scenario, to be sure)

Van Persie covers the striker position in practically all dimensions.
I wonder if Ferguson told him he would be leaving...
Ozil with Van Persie....

To dream.

That i goal against Utd. is one of the greatest things I've ever seen anyone do in football.

I'm a big fan of i but for amazing goals by Frenchies in EPL, the direction to take is King Cantona.

Ouhaaaa Cantona Ouha Cantona

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me;
Twelve Cantonas, eleven Cantonas...and an Eric Cantona!

We`ll drink a drink a drink
To Eric the King the King the King
He`s the leader of our football team
He`s the greatest
Centre forward
That the world has ever seen

What a friend we have in Jesus
He`s a saviour from afar
What a friend we have in Jesus
And his name is Cantona...

I heard he was the best attacking midfielder in the World even though he had to leave his former team 'cause he couldn't keep his starting position.

So? Madrid fans liked him, I also like him as a player. That doesn't mean he's the best attacking midfielder on the World.

"couldn't keep his starting position"

So now you're negating that Ozil left the out cause he wasn't going to be a starter?
