    Brought a tear to my eye, fam:

    There have been quite a few occasions this season when Xhaka has had an opponent five metres either side of him just outside his own penalty area but has still demanded the ball. Sometimes he’ll even clap his hands above his head for added urgency, so keen is he to move it up field and build an attack

    Value for Money Striker options - Deeney and Mitrovic.

    Deeney is undervalued imho, great engine and overall contribution to team play. I saw a eye-opening stat on him earlier this week: "is the only player along with Mahrez to have scored at least 12 goals and registered seven assists" this season.

    Mitrovic is a head case, no doubt, but he has skills and potential. Would give us another target forward option besides just Giroud.

    Rumors are beginning to circulate about Morata. I wonder if we are really trying to get him?

    Yep, apparently he is the targeted striker. Will cost some pretty pennies....

    I've been laughing at this for a good 5 minutes! OMG that's awesome.

    Edit: Can we please find a way to incorporate this into a teem chant? "The mighty horny Gunners!"

    Mitrovic is basically a worse Giroud, so I'll pass. As for Deeny... Why? If they're not upgrading at striker directly then upgrade out wide and slide Iwobi, Sanchez or Welbeck up front.

    We would be crazy not to buy Lukaku. Young, proven EPL goal sorcerers don't come available that often. 50m GBP well spent.

    If it's to a club in Europe I'd say £40 Million. A PL rival? Closer to £50 Million.

    I saw Everton put his price at 65m. Still worth it imo

    Not yet- he can score to be certain, but has the first touch of an elephant.

    He's a gamble and u could probably get auba for that let alone Icardi or morata or even higuain etc

    Would pull the trigger. The lad is a battering ram, and aggressive in the Henry way, I don't see Cbs beating him to an Ozil pass into the box.

    Have you watched him this year? His touch improved a lot

    Stylistically Lukaku is very much like Giroud, no? Had he started for Arsenal this year instead of Giroud I don't see it making much of a difference. If we can afford that for an offensive game plan titled "essentially more of the same, but younger," then I'm fine with the move.

    No. Around the box he is almost always facing the goal when around the 18 yard box. His game is about getting in he box, he just also happens to be big and strong.

    He's so much more mobile. Quicker, stronger, and faster than Giroud. He can also turn with the ball instead of just being a wall.

    Yeah, I happened to see that goal v. Chelsea and was like...whoa, he can move.

    With someone like Özil feeding him the ball he could be deadly in front of goal.
