Arsenal need an out and out striker more than anyone else.
Not someone who can shift, someone who can score 20+league goals. Someone like Rvp, not like Giroud, Walcot or Podolski.
I dont say Bernard is bad by any means or Wenger should not sign, but youd rather sign a (much needed)striker say Suarez first then move for others positions where you do have stars already

So after spending years of everyone saying “never listen to Wenger” about transfers we’re all supposed to listen now ‘cos it’s bad news… You mention that two of the “midfield talents” that we have “do shift positions” or play more as an attacking forward (and want to play striker), so why not Bernard?
After all he’s able to play all across the midfield, is a playmaker to take the pressure off Santi AND generally plies his trade on the left, where our option is…Poldi, a striker who fills in there.
Maybe if we believe there were only 3 good strikers this summer, (1 is gone, 1 isn’t likely to be sold and the other is Suarez) this is the way to solve our problems without paying WAY (Higuain) over the odds and even if this doesn’t happen I for one am happier to see that we’re looking for more invention in the team, as at times last season we looked utterly bereft when Santi was neutralised.

All they said was that they had cash and were willing to spend it. Which frankly is dumb, it’s like walking into a second hand car garage dressed in a mink coat and asking for a discount – same car, more moolah. We’ll end up overpaing for the same players. question is; would we value them more if they cost more? How much would Giroud have cost if we’d had gone for him this year?
