It's hard to imagine that Wenger would bring in a CF if we get Sanchez in. Couple that with Debuchy, a keeper and another midfielder, then it looks unlikely. Personally we should get in another CF, if its an improvement on Giroud and not some Remy type signing.

Don't forget we're effectively bringing in Campbell.

Also Campbell is more of a LWF than a CF and as mentioned I've heard rumours that he may go to Newcastle as part of the Debuchy signing, whether that's a loan deal or not I'm not sure, although the club confirmed that Campbell would be back with Arsenal next season.

Providing Walcott comes back fit at the start of the season, he could be picked to play as a CF. We have a good array of options on the wings if Sanchez comes in and we retain Cazorla, this will push Campbell down the pecking order.

Who could be picked to play as a CF ? Campbell or Walcott ?

Personally I'd like to see Sanchez play more centrally as he's got that killer finish that we've been lacking.

I would think Walcott, as he has the experience, great finishing and has been waiting for the CF spot for quite sometime. Not sure he would like it if Campbell takes that spot after not even playing for us. Wenger has played Walcott down the middle a few times, last season and he wasn't that bad.

But I'm with you on Sanchez he has top finishing and will Wenger groom him to be a CF? If he brings him in and no CF, then this would fit this particular scenario.

I see three types of strikers

i) Powerhouses to hold up the ball. Current world class strikers: Zlatan, Drogba (in his days). Potential for us: Mandzukic, Lukaku, Balotelli
ii) Someone with low gravity, high work rate and can create something from nothing. Current world class strikers: Aguero and Suarez. Potenial for us: Alexis Sanches and Tevez (old)
iii) Good finishers, clever runs and quick(ish) but don't create things out of nothing. Current world class strikers: Cavani, Costa, Benzema. Potential for us: Benzema , Walcott (did a great game before he got injured).


I would want us to go away from the Giroud type of striker - at least for plan A. Giroud should be plan B when we play against a physial side. Otherwise I prefer option (ii) but realistically speaking there is not many of those players so category (i) and (iii) are easier to find.

If Sanchez happening then my post from April will come true :)

Convinced Alexis will be an Arsenal player very soon. He wants 2 play 4 Wenger. And the transfer fee won't be huge. Sound business by AFC
 
Very excited if Sanchez signs for us.

He's a game changer that's for sure. The kind of player who wins you games.

I'm more excited by the fact that he doesn't cause any drama and works his arse off for the team. Going to be an interesting battle between him and Ramsey as to who can cover more ground in a game, providing we sign him of course. I'm still waiting on Citeh or Chelsea to come in at the last minute...
