The Arsenal Thread XXIII

This is true but goals can't just come magically from the rest of the team. We can see from the matches last season and this one that the only real likely scorers are giroud and Sanchez. We need to bring someone in to boost the number of goals as no one else will as it is. No doubt giroud can get a lot of goals but we need more than he can give. We need a bit more pace and a goal threat that's why benzema would've been perfect. Walcott can't be that guy. Another name is higuain who could be a good fit?

What Wenger has effectively done is used to idea of "cohesion" to dress up the great possibility that even he thinks that the individual parts are not of title winning quality. So essentially we are relying on the teamwork clicking together Sir Alex style.

True. I think Welbeck will be better this season can see him getting 10+ from across the front 3. Ozil, Ramsey and Ox need 10 plus. I said before we need alot more from Ozil. Below is shocking really

Does anyone know anything about this Kokorin guy?

I'm not too sure about him. There's also the need of a striker. Such a shame benzema couldn't happen. I don't want cavani as I don't think he's that good. Aubameyang is the best option I think.

I's say Krychowiak would be a good shout. Relatively cheap defensive minded midfielder with a excellent technical level, strong pysical presence and can play at CB. Was in La Liga team of the year 14/15.

I'd imagine in tough away matches we'd play him and Coq for better midfielder control and protection. It would be very nice to see

100% agree on this. It sounds like we're in for him, reliable sources have said so iirc and its within a decent price bracket

Errr... http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9966825/rumoured-arsenal-target-grzegorz-krychowiak-says-he-is-staying-at-sevilla?

He came out on twitter about an hour saying he's staying for another season lol

Change the metric to average per game or per 90 and it tells a very different story, you can't go off raw data when one player has played 50% more games than the other ffs

That's fair enough but is the difference between Ozil and Santi proportionate for the fees we paid for each of them respectively? Ozil never achieved the consistency Santi had in 12/13 for whatever reason. The lack of shot and goals stat is probably the most profound. I don't think the fact that Santi has more minutes should hinder the comparison, all that should be counted is their output regardless of injuries

Do you honestly think Aubameyang is better than Cavani??

Same old Arsene every summer doesn't suprise me from Wenger, probably values tinpot cups i.e. Shield, Emirates cup more higher than winning Champions/Premier League, nothing new here.
