    I dont think Llorente would cost anymore than £17 Million. He's fallen out with the club and they just want to get him out.

    People say he is too 'simular' to Giroud but ultimately he's just better. Better technically, quicker at least as powerful and more of a natural goalscorer.(and has consistantly scored goals throughout his career) - He's as good a finisher as anyone out there.

    Personally I think we could challenge with a top striker in our side. Without one I think we'll be fighting for 3-4th..again


    Gernerally I complettly agree with Wengers policy of signing youth but having sold RVP without a TOP replacement coming through has meant we need to sign someone of simular quality.

    Benzema, LLorente, Cavani, Lewandowski.. that's the calibre of player we need to be looking at.

    That the calibre of player we never look at though, unless they're going on the cheap for some reason

    Why? I think he's less than half the player Llorente is.

    Well that's because we generally buy them before they reach the top level (at a fraction of the cost).

    Llorente i guess could be possible, i still think he'll go to a superclub though. We can't afford Benzema or Lewandowski.

    If Wenger does buy a striker in January it will most likely be someone we don't know a whole lot about

    Good video, I didn't realise he was so versatile in what he can do. That last goal was an RVP-style strike too. Llorente would fit in with our Spanish stars nicely.

    Lewandowski is also quality, but I don't rate Benzema one bit.

    Llorente's contract is up in the summer isn't it? Wenger would probably want to just wait until then but I'd be surprised if they got £17mill in January for him unless a big money club went in for him.

    Benzema would be a good shout, if you could get him or possibly a proper winger but I guess there's no point in putting crosses in if you haven't got the players to take advantage of them. I would've thought the biggest thing you're missing is a proper top class defender who is also a great leader although I'm stumped trying to think of one at the moment.
