Right I'm quite aware a few times he hasn't impressed. But seeing we need a new forward and we seem to be struggling to get one how about we just get a new winger. Mahrez if we can or any other suggestions. Seems a winger is easier to come by that a forward. Then that way we can stick Theo up top.
I'm kidding! Really though perhaps Alexis up top and a new winger to take his place. Other side we'll have the usual iwobi/ ox/ Theo/ Ramsey? Know it's not ideal but I just cannot see us getting the right forward.

Not sure Sanchez could play on own up front against two big centre halves
Think he could partner an "Alan Smith" type striker up front but not sure he would be clinical enough based on his shooting for us. This would mean a 442 and not sure how our midfield and Ozil would adapt to that : (
I would prefer Theo in the 442 than Sanchez but that said, I would prefer a new option as an alternative and upgrade on Giroud.
My opinion - to get an upgrade on Giroud and drop him. That's an expensive player, hence the challenge we are in at present.

Theo is the obvious choice in Ollys absence as is Monreal as cover for Kos both of which say it all about us as any kind of competitive force.

What worries me, is that Lacazette played a lot of games as a right winger or right forward for Lyon last season.
It wouldn't surprise me if we signed Lacazette, played him rw, then moved him up top either as a different option to Giroud or as partner to him.
That way, instead addressing our issues and getting say Lacazette and Mahrez, for £80m, we get Lacazette, use him as a winger primarily and only pay £45m, saving Arsene, Ivan and Stann £35m to go towards that new ranch Stan always wanted, or maybe a velcro coat for the gaffer!
It's all a moot point really, this is literally all its, buts and maybes, but it seems the Arsene way.
