Cesc Fabregas thinks Arsenal need to sign a strong striker this January
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas declared the Gunners should sign a strong striker in the January transfer window as a physical presence up front can make the difference.
The Spaniard added how a “normal” team like Chelsea are doing well thanks to a top-class striker like Didier Drogba, reason why the Gunners should indeed sign someone with the same features of the Ivory Coast International.
Fabregas said:
We had a lot of possession but didn’t have anyone to go in behind the defence apart from Carlos Vela. We had lots of players who like the ball into their feet. Sometimes you need a different kind of option.
Overall, I saw a Chelsea team that was normal but a team that has probably the best striker in the world. We had lots of players who like the ball into their feet. Sometimes you need a different kind of option.
An average team that has the best striker in the world can always do something and Didier Drogba makes all the difference.

“an average team with a quality striker can make all the difference”
See – Liverpool.
Dudu can’t be counted on. Walcott is permenantly injured. Bendtner’s finish let’s him down. Vela is too small for the role.
Well said Beatup…
Vela is small for the role because he plays better in the wing not in a central striker role.
RIGHT ON FABREGAS…!!!
I just hope Wenger will listen to his captain.
It is now,I am afraid,a question of survival… We might suffer in the second stage of the CL and still in the premiership and with the football we are displaying it would be unfair…
A strong striker will give us a breather especially under pressure from the opponent (just kick the ball up front)…!!
We need a hitman of no nosense in and outside the box for scoring.
Carlton Cole baby !!!!
Excellent observation by our captain. Bring Adriano. He has regained his old form.
Good Luck Arsenal.
ADRIANO IS FREE,
HE WILL DO IT. HE IS BACK TO HIS BEST,
19 GOALS IN 30 GAMES & WINNING TITLES. WENGER IS GOOD ENOUGH TO LEAD HIM BACK FROM PARTY BRAT TO SUPERSTAR FOOTBALLER.
ADRIANO?????????????????? FIT OR INJURED, FAT OR SLIM IS NOT THE STRIKER FOR US.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
i didn’t want tohave to post in capitals haha. but i think he is the striker for us. big man, big skill, big goals.
adriano was playing top, top level football with ronaldinho, kaka, and all of brazils national team in ‘05.
why can’t wenger turn a striker, who was in such blistering form 4 years ago, into a striker of world-class magnitude now?
for me. i’d rather take him that dzeko!
dzeko is a quality player but i still think arsene will go for chamakh, just because his mentioned him so many times but i just think his a bit weak, but quality in the air
and. on a free? no rissk!
i’m confident in a well-placed deal. le boss has at least one more in him
he brought samir when i well wished the scenario. let’s have one more!
Loads of people are voting for Carlton Cole !!!
The problem is that the guy gets injured all the time… ! we don’t need another “weak ass” striker. He is strong but injury prone.
if not adriano, arsene wenger must bring back
thierry henry to the place where he belong Arsenal
why not luca toni…He is aged 32..just sign him for two years..he has experience,cheap, can play in champs league..good in air ,good striker of the ball,finisher..he will give his best to arsenal because to be in the world cup squad for italy..He will also be helpful in guiding and improving nicklas bentdner,who is the same mould of luca toni…big guy..great physical presence..
Fab has said it to the hearing of his manager.let’s hope wenger listens.first arshavin,now fabregas,we all can’t be wrong.
Here are a list of strikers arsenal cud and shud get … Lukas Podolski,huntelaar,paulvencheyko(dnt knw how 2 spell his name),gignac,balotelli,chamakh,and most certainly not carlton cole he doesnt have an ounce of arsenal skill or class to develope.
Lukas Podolski at Arsenal!!!!!!!!!!! that wud b too cool!
go for ashley young
podolski
wenger should look for david villa………
