So, Arsenal are starting another season short-handed. The striker to help Giroud has not been found and AFC are still one centre-back short. Granit Xhaka was brought in immediately after last season ended to ensure season ticket renewals and I don’t think the Club had any concrete plan to fill up the gaps in the […]
There is understandably some frustration at present at the club’s inability to get the business done early in the window in the striking department. Gunners Town is worried but not that Wenger and the club will not sign a new striker as we are firmly of the belief that there will be a new addition […]
We are nearly half way through the summer transfer window and Arsenal have still only made one major signing. For many Arsenal fans this is a frustrating time of year. We are usually linked with some top class players with proven goal-scoring records but never actually go in for them. But what we do […]
Is Alexandre Lacazette the new French bargain for Arsenal? Gunners Town’s own @Grooverblog chats to @Eurolyonnais After a frustrating 15-16 season, where Arsenal failed to lift a league title obviously opened, a lot of questions remain about the offensive ability of the striking squad. Olivier Giroud wasn’t efficient enough, and neither an out of form […]
Some solutions to Arsene’s striker crisis Could there be a striker crisis in the first few weeks of the season for Arsenal? With a couple of tough fixtures to start off the season, including Liverpool and Leicester, Wenger may have to improvise with his team to find someone who will do a job through the […]
Arsenal’s numerous unsuccessful attempts to bring in a world class striker has been well documented in recent times, and rightly so. Once again, this ‘weary-tale’ has begun to take centre stage this summer, with a section of the fan base already bracing themselves for what has now become a customary ‘market impossible’ mission at the […]
Rumours of Benzema joining seem to be growing by the day and whilst I am sceptical of how valid all of this may be, I’m quite excited by the prospect. I have to say that there’s not a single striker in Europe more suitable to our needs right now than Benzema. This doesn’t mean he’s […]
Not much else happening at the moment, so I decided to go ahead and give you my thoughts on the Emirates Cup weekend. We’ve won the Cup by grabbing two wins, conceding no goals and producing a smashing performance against Lyon. One which spelled an end to Arsenal fans’ ongoing “buy Lacazette for 35 million” […]
The article on Gunners Town earlier today from Danny Ryan got me thinking as I edited it. He is correct to promote the merits of giving due consideration to those strikers we have at the club, over the big names the media and fans will links us to. Welbeck, Walcott and Giroud have all scored […]
Many of Wenger’s critics and indeed Arsenal fans generally are still convinced that the Gunners require a world class centre forward. Since the ever controversial departure of a certain Mr. van Persie, the clubs centre forward role has been one surrounded by debate and often with heavy doses of perhaps unnecessary scrutiny. This transfer window […]
