not sure we need a striker but, if we did go for someone, I would go for Joel Campbell on a season long loan from Arsenal. Someone else who may be worth considering on a permie would be Demba Ba but I think the midfield has got to be priority, and the full back areas

I was just about to post this.  I think its fairly realistic as well, he's apparently performed well out on loan in some of the lesser leagues of Europe and I'd imagine Wenger would want him to get some prem experience at some point.  Plus he's a sort of winger/forward like how we've been using Gabby the last few years.

What's a dilumama?

Is it a watered-down mother?

You won't be saying that when you've seen him upfront alongside Kozak a few times.

I work with a guy who scouts for a premier league club. He genuinely cannot understand how teams don't stop Deeney. His biggest thing stopping him being a premier league striker is his pace.

I think we're ok, as well as the 5 mentioned, we have Robinson and Helenius and Cole and N'Zogbia can play in the no. 10 role meaning some games we can just play one up top with one off and not 2/3 strikers.

Want shot of N'Zogbia he has been awful for us, and just isn't up for the fight, also I bet he is on a decent amount of wages too, so it that is another reason to get rid of him.
