The type of striker Arsenal crave

|

I watched the Chelsea/Liverpool match the other day, and I must say I was very impressed with Luis Suarez.

Yes, the Uruguayan’s a very controversial figure, but I must admit that he’s a top class striker.

His work-rate is nothing short of incredible; he’s very skilful and has great pace and stamina which enables him to latch on to through and loose balls. He doesn’t neglect his defensive duties either and always wants the ball. In fact, in a couple of incidents during the match at Stamford Bridge, the 25-year-old was tracking back and the next thing you knew he was up the other end having an attempt on goal.

If you haven’t guessed already, I am a big Suarez fan. He, in my opinion, is on the same level as Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero.

The latest player to be linked with a move to The Emirates is Edin Dzeko.

I feel the City striker’s not the kind of forward Arsenal need though, as the Bosnian is very similar to Marouane Chamakh and Olivier Giroud. They are all target men who love to hold up play and win aerial battles. But we need someone who can get past defends and get on the end of the through ball. We need a striker with electric pace, and to me Dzeko does not fit the bill.

In my opinion, we should do all we can to land either Jermain Defoe or Luis Suarez – this is the type of striker we desperately need at the club.

Both are realistic targets as Defoe looks unsettled under Andre Villas Boas, while I truly believe Suarez will almost certainly be looking for a new club should Liverpool endure another dull season.

Let’s see what happens.

      What he loves finishing 8th in the leauge and playing Europa?? Ha ha ha
      Liverpool are history now, jus a another mid table club. Liverpool fans jus go on about how good they where (80’s).
      I know us arsenal fans can’t say much but at least we get champions leauge football every year!!
      As I said before Liverpool = mid table team!

    Doubt we’d be able to get Suarez with our cuntish board making profits every year. Would love him at our club though.

  • Joe says:

    Suared, if rvp moved to ot, then tis posssible suarez can move to Arsenal. He’s top class and he wants to play in the champs league. We can offer him that at Arsenal.

    suarez is quality but liverpool need to hold onto him to keep them outta relegation zone

  • Lobsta says:

    Can’t c it happening. Liverpool has stood by Suarez through so much over the past year I think he has a genuine love and sense of loyalty for the club.. But then again, Suarez is crazy

    Luis suarez is a diver and diving is cheating,and everybody wants to play a fair game,because if a team depends on cheating i dont think that kind of team can succeed,if one is fair things can workout look at the case of torres during the Chelsea & Man U match his diving has caused the team to loose the match if he have’nt cheated they would have probably drew the game.
