Perez looked tidy too actually.
HAHA Reality check for Wenger?
3-0 so far. 3 chances 3 goals along with great defending.
Yep we don't need to buy anyone now we have beaten man city i take it all back.
I was just a tad frustrated in my earlier comments about wengers reality check but i 100% agree we do need signings to challenge as our squad is considerably small atm and who is perez u talk of? i like giroud as our striker but he is not mobile enough at times! id like to see some nice hold up play from him like how drogba did at chelsea
Getting decent / ok players is easy. Getting quality players takes time.
Sebastian Perez is the 20 year old Colombian DM/CM who's trialing with us. #32 came on for Arteta in the game. I think will be good squad option for us next season as Coquelin is on loan.
Giroud is good option for us at times, but not the player who will win the Prem for us. That's why Wenger is trying hard to sign a new striker.
Lot of talk going that Bayern have accepted a bid from us for Gustavo. IMO would be really good player for us as he can cover the CB and LB positions easily ( started out as LB, then played as CB and moved up to DM position ). Hopefully this is true as he would improve the team.
People saying we won't win the title with Giroud as our striker aren't doing him enough justice, if we sign a CB, DM and AML of high quality, we could win the title with Giroud leading the line. He is that good, and hopefully this season is where he indisputably proves it.
I'd agree about Giroud, the problem is the backup. I do agree an AML is very important though, Podolski went missing in some games last season and seemed incapable of leading the line, and pushing Cazorla there does work with his tricky feet, but you need to be able to threaten both flanks, and Cazorla will be likely playing in the side next to Wilshere unless Wenger pushes him to the DLP role, where he isn't at his best, yet competent.

That was Podolski's 2nd best ever season. And its not good enough for Arsenal, its wide left that needs replacing not FC
I'd say both need additions if we are to effectively challenge for title. Problem is who to get? Can't really think of any LW who we could sign now and who'd have instant impact for us.
