We got Man City in the Carling.

Wenger will not spend the money that's required for a "quality" striker in January.
Can't believe that anyone thinks he will unless the nightmare happens and Robin gets injured.

Nela

With CL under threat, I think he will spend money.

Park should never have been bought. What's the point? Should have bought a real striker.

redwhiteAustrian

I'm sure he will, if our situation in the table force him to.
Just like in 2008/09.

Naz, what is this business of sitting on the bench? We started with two strikers today.

Apparently Nasri attacked Pong in the Tunnel.just got a text from a friend.

Always thought Nasri was a sneaky son of a gun. Wait for the tunnel, then attack!

Park should at the very least get more games than Chamakh moving forward; he's actually shown small glimpses at this point, and that's miles ahead of anything Chamakh has done.

I hope Pong knew that you shouldn't slap women.

Gazza M

bahaha nasri attacked pong? are his arms still attached?

Nela

Perhaps.

But let's be honest, they're both shit. Tripping over the ball. Can't head. Can't shoot. Get rid.

Arsenblog tweeted this. - "There was a little bit of niggle between Nasri and Frimpong at the final whistle which carried on into the tunnel."

Two strikers but one of them on the wing. We're not going to switch our formation anytime soon and Robin is not going anywhere. If we sign anyone they'd just end up on the bench 70% of the time.

Every other club has more than one striker. This bench stuff is nonsense. You find a way to make it work because you have to.

tazmania

They were nudging each other all game, i'm not surprised.

All my posts about it are in Wenger terms. If i was the manager i would sign a striker right away.

He'll buy for sure if we're desperate, but quality, as in an able substitute for van Persie?
I think not.

For me one of our main problems is that other players like Arteta, Ramsey, Theo and Gervinho don't score more.
Goals need to be spread about.
We can't just rely on one player be it Robin, or this elusive mythical quality striker that everyone believes will solve our problems when he steps in to deputise.

The fact is we started with two strikers. Just as Citeh always start with two out of Aguero, Dzeko and Balotelli although they play the same formation as us. WE need an additional striker, one who can start with van Persie or play alone.

Nela

Wenger knows Chamakh and Park are shit. It's apparant now. The fact that Chamakh makes the bench in PL games ahead of Park speaks volumes. He knows they're both shit.

tazmania

He'll probably end up signing Limo Falanko from Azerbaijan or something random like that.

redwhiteAustrian

That's true y va, but this will only come with time.
The team is still finding its feet and with more and more games they'll get going and share the burden of scoring goals.

In the meantime, we should ensure not to lose all our danger up front as soon as Robin is out, hence we need a proper replacement. Not a like for like one, that's unrealistic, but one capable of producing the goods.
