We went for suarez?
In Aug yes, when liverpool couldn't find a decent player to replace him, so that's a fail.
Someone like Remy, even as a stop gap, would score more and be more of threat than giroud when we have someone like ozil who is able to pick out channel runners.
You talk a lot of stop gaps, most of out signings are stop gaps. I'd rather sign a lesser player that fits the general ethos of how you want a team to play than a better player who simply won't work.
We aren't going to find ozil esque signings on a plate and will have to at least build a functional team. This squad is totally disjointed as it stands, no real emphasis on a style of play, just a thrown together group who go out with no message.
