New striker?

Aguero out for potentially another 2 months and we decided to not sign a forward. Even a temporary one would have sufficed. Jesus really has to transform into an actual striker otherwise we are fucked.
 
Jovic on loan from Madrid would be a good option at this time imo.

i really hope we can make this happen as we looked at him a couple of years ago and he was deadly back then! Madrid desperate to save the wages and who knows, Jovic might come in , regain his form and score a shit load here!
 
Aubameyang is going to be Arsenal's Ozil Mark II.

Busted a gut at the back of last season when he needed a new contract, at 31 gets a crazy 300k a week deal and later this season will go MIA.
IMO he's in a select group of rare quality finisher's, they can be the difference between winning silverware as we found out last season. Arteta has been recruiting and consolidating existing talent shrewdly as has Lampard. Both could be big threats to us this season.

He's a great player on his day, but that's a hell of a contract to offer a 31 year old who up to the end of last season had even Arsenal fans questioning him.

That quality doesn't come cheap, it's so rare. We are struggling to find another...
 
Aguero our for 2 months ?????

weren't we hoping he would be back for the champions league final if we made it ???

surely we are working on a striker now even if it’s a loan ?
 
I suppose Sterling can play centrally if needed. It's still very strange that there's not been any serious links to strikers for some time. Not sure what the plan is here.

Perhaps he's had a setback. I very much doubt we'll be going for another striker if he's only going to be out for 2 months. I can only really see us signing another one if Aguero is likely to be out longer. Jesus is more than capable of filling the role and should help with more aggressive pressing.
 
No striker worth his salt is going to come here knowing full well he is third choice. Unless we are going to dig up some free transfer and throw him on the bench.

We simply cannot bring in another striker whilst Aguero is here. Current injury or not.

There is a shortage of world class strikers out there, even shorter list of ones who would make a move.

You can't mitigate against injury and given we've got, what, two weeks to go I can't see how we'd get someone even half capable of filling Aguero s boots.

We play one striker and have 2 good ones in Aguero and Jesus. I think 2 players per position is the plan and we have those in place. It's a shame about Aguero's injury but if it is only short-term, then I can't see us looking for somebody else.

I think Sterling should be the last player tasked to tap in chances. Keep him as a creator on the wing and avoid another embarrassment.

Why not?

Aguero's contract is up at the end of the season, and he has a serious knee injury at 32.

Any top young striker would jump at that opportunity at a club like ours.
 
You just decided to ignore all of the goals he did score then?

Haven’t forgotten the great goals he scored from drifting inside. On the other hand I haven’t forgotten how somehow he consistently manages to miss open goals. Lyon wasn’t the first nor the second time he has done it.

Would still need a place in the 17 squad places.

I cant see any strikers out there who would join as we are and that's probably the exact feedback Txiki has got.
