3rd/4th Striker

Arsenal have 8...really? If that is including people like Podolski, Walcott and park, do we count Sterling and Ibe?

According to Arsenal's roster the forwards are:
Podolski
Giroud
Walcott
Chamberlain
Sanogo
Bendtner
Gnabry
iwobi

On our roster the attackers are Suarez, Sturridge, Aspas and Luis Alberto

Sterling is considered a Midfielder

I thought we were talking about strikers, not just forwards. Surely Coutinho and Sterling are forwards. Sterling a mid-fielder? In  the words of  Jim Royle… my a..e.  http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/raheem-sterling/profil/spieler_134425.html

Regardless of the roster, if Ox and Walcott are forwards then so are Sterling and Ibe. I've not even heard of that last guy.

OK depending on the source Sterling is either a Striker (e.g. transfermarkt) or a midfielder-winger (e.g. soccerway).

The same applies to all teams.

So OK maybe we need only one addition to the current attacking force instead of two, always depending on the tactics and on the injuries and availability. However, I prefer to have 5 strikers in the team (that rises up the competition between them for the starting lineup) than to looking for a winter transfer if there is some injury or some other incident

Only in Fantasy Football is Sterling considered a midfielder.
If you are going down that road then take Walcott and Chamberlain and make them midfielders too.

To be fair Chamberlain has played centre midfield at times but you do make a point.

It emphasises my point.
He has Chamberlain down as a striker, to show we should have 8.
Bizarre really.

I'd say we need 3 attacking players in the summer.
Striker and two attacking midfielders.
I'd much rather we sorted out the defence though.

We already have a perfectly good back up in armin hodzic at 19 he's leading scorer in the league at his loan club with 18 goals in 25 appearances n is probs goin t Brazil in the summer.

I know Suarez has done this when called upon but I feel we should probably recruit a Support Striker. Typically, a player who operates in the forward line and also drops deeper or wider to link the play. Probably thats the reason BR's first target was Mkhitaryan.

Possible targets but damn expensive - Müller, Lavezzi. Any viable targets? Giovinco, may be?

I think we need two strikers, and 2 midfielders.

How much would Shaqeri, El Sharrawy, Rodrigo and Murial cost?

Might take a look at Jackson Martinez. He looked an exciting player when I've seen Porto play.

Alexis Sanchez, Lukaku....

Eh? I've been following him and I rate the chap (he has great potential), but he's only scored 8, which puts him 5th highest scorer in the league. I wouldn't bet on Brazil either, with Ibišević and Džeko being the only strikers who are normally called up and the BH national team very rarely uses any players from the BH prem Not to put him down though, he is Željezničar's top scorer and they are 2nd in the league, behind only on goal difference.


(Also, long time lurker, first time poster )

I would not have a place for Borini.  To put it blunt he's not good enough.  3 goals in 25 from 45 shots. Sturridge has had a comparable amount of shots and scored 20. Aspas was brilliant pre season, if he wants to stay I'd have him but otherwise we need 2 new strikers.

I wish someone on the forum would remind me how many goals Borini has this season.

Think it might be 3

And another 3 in cup games. He scores in the big ones

Idea - we keep Suarez and Sturridge for the Premier League matches against the cannon fodder, and league cup games.

That way Borini can stay fresh for the key matches in the PL and next years champions league final.

remy would be a good buy. he can play as a WF or CF. his proven in the league and wont cost alot, i believe its around 8/9m

He is doing well in the Bosnian Premier League, but I don't know how good their league is.. is it around the same as our league 1?

Lovin' it. 

With the Champions League beckoning we need to strengthen with Champions League quality players (in my opinion). They said "we can't attract those type of players without 'it'"... "they won't come here without 'it' so no point trying", we were told well... now we have it - no excuse not to set our sights that bit higher.

Marco Reus would be my first choice to add that quality, strength and depth. Quick, versatile, ready made for our system and on the rise. 

Gameiro is doing well at Sevilla, was linked to a loan move to us last January. Paco Alcacer got a hat trick tonight for Valencia, had a good reputation a couple of years ago, not sure how good he is now.

I always thought we should've moved for Gameiro along with Sakho. Costed Sevilla less than 10 mil. He is really underrated. And definitely could have contributed a lot more than that lazy baggard from the plastics

Suspect Aspas will be off, and Borini + 1 other will come in.
