Yaya Sanogo (Arsenal Striker)

[topperharley]

I really feel that Sylla has shown enough to justify being our lead striker, not just at Reading etc. but since he got a regular run.

I wouldn't want to bring in a 'name' striker from a big club and risk the happy dressing room. it would be good to get some back up, or someone that can play off Sylla, or work in rotation. Don't forget we've got the eternally running Mackie and a Washington, that despite being universally dismissed (by me too), has a chance to play in a team that actually gets the ball in the box, and plays together (if Reading was anything to go by), so we never know he might come good? No one denied his work rate.

Sonogo or Bamford would need to come with some kind of guarantee of 1st team football you'd think? For that reason of the names suggested so far i'd actually go with Campbell.

But surely there's other, perhaps better options out there?

True I suppose. I remember people turning their noses up at Kane when his name was mentioned for us.

Ludicrous when you think about that now mate.

That said, I got a few Millwall mates. He played 20 odd games there and they said he was decent but weren't convinced he'd cut it in the Premier League, let alone go onto play for England. Funny old game!

Agree that Sylla definitely has done enough to justify being our first choice number 9. Disagree that we don't need another number 9 of equal standard. There are a lot of games in this league, suspensions and injuries will happen regularly!

Really poor mans Kanu

If he is what we're looking to bring in I would rather not waste the money and go with what we have. I'm amazed no one has suggested bamford think that's a win win

Bamford 'Yes please'!

Not saying we need a lesser, and am saying that we need another. Just not someone who expects to walk in as our first choice.

Ah ok, misunderstood.

Agree with you there. Everybody should earn the right. Ollie has shown the door to all those that think they can swan around around and still get picked every week, not that there were many left.....in fact there might have only been 1!

We should have signed Wood from Leeds last year

[FACTS]

Sylla is better right now, but Sanogo was a beast at youth level until an injury. Arsene obviously think it'll click again, not sure it's worth the risk though. Not sure Arsenal would loan to us anyway.

He's an absolute donkey, mate.
Most Arsenal fans I know see him as a joke figure.

[Gtleighsr3]

you know we will give him a four year contract on big carrotts
