Striker watch - 2022 Edition

If not Felix then Osimhen.

TambourineMan

Might not be the sexiest option but if we want someone to do what Lacazette does but better then Toney would be a great shout.

That said, Osimhen would be first choice for me personally but I fear Napoli will be pricing out any potential suitors this summer. Toney would be a good alternative style wise I reckon.

Will also be interesting to see if we sign a second choice forward or we plan to rely on Balogun to fill that role.

BWooley

Amine Gouiri with Toney as Plan B.

Rakim

I'm not sure about Toney. I think I would be really underwhelmed and disappointed if he was our striker signing. He can be the Nketiah replacement tho

Ricky1985

Felix and Toney, from the point of view that I need to be just a smidge realistic, would be very nice. I'm not a huge Toney fan, but he has good attribites to be that big, strong focal point when an alternative is needed.

lorddulaarsenal

Might have the profile who will be ok with not being first choice too

Sicario

Toney has been underwhelming this season after taking the championship by storm last season.

I know it’s a level up and he’s playing in a newly promoted team/struggling side but I expected more as he really looked like a rough diamond this time last year.

Having said that he may be a form player and since Eriksen has been playing he’s looked a lot better.

Not sure if he is Arsenal quality even as a back up striker though. Would cost a bit (English tax) so probably not worth it. Plus he’s 26 so hardly up and coming.

Rakim

I would rather keep Laca as a backup for next year than sign Toney for 30+ mil. If that money is spent elsewehre of course...

That's my thinking too.

Regardless of how many goals he gets, if he can do what Lacazette's currently doing, plus being able to actually run and compete physically, he could be a good squad option.

Might even have a releasr clause in his contract should Brentford go down, so could pick him up cheap.

Shady

No thanks to Toney, doesn't seem the right character for this team at all.

QuincyAbeyie

He just loves shitting on Brentford every time he gets to, doesn't he

lorddulaarsenal

Seems like a douchebag

No thanks.

Ray

He’s only being honest but can’t see him getting along with Arteta.

jones

To be fair to him the guy he's talking to doesn't sound like he would know Brentford. Nor does anyone else really they're the tinpottest of tinpot clubs in the league.

Don't want him because he would cost too much for what he brings but we probably could do worse for a backup.

Gunner89

He'd fail Teta's prim and proper test.

Osimhen is a pipe dream even if he didn't cost Napoli 70m. (It was a dodgy deal involving 50m plus 4 youth players who ended up making a collective of 1 appearance for Napoli valued at 20m.)

Felix is not gonna happen.

Not that he's my ideal first choice but I'm willing to bet one of the two will be DCL.

I'd take him and zaha.

Zaha for 20-30m would be a top signing for 2-3 years.

lorddulaarsenal

Course it’s possible - Kroenke will make it pour with that mad Walmart money now he’s completed NFL

lorddulaarsenal

Would have been perfect. I got slammed for suggesting we sign him. He’s excellent.

Half of those goals came in the conference league against minnows, but he would be a decent back up regardless, but not for the 40m they were asking for.

With a buyback clause so that Chelsea can just buy him back if he's a big success.

Qwiss

We'd never have done a buy back but I think the price was ok.
