He always has an eye for a bargain attacker so I'm not overly worried and I like giroud. He couldn't sign a decent defensive player if his life depended on it though.
I'd say it's almost gone the other way. We've made some fairly shrewd defensive signings in Holding, Monreal and Kos, but haven't signed an under the radar exciting attacker in ages. Last that would fit the bill is Santi.
The attacking player woopsy list is loonnnng:
Korean fella
Sanogo
Asano
Perez (talented, but been REKT by Wenger)
Campbell ditto
Just look at our No. 9s. Haven't had a truly good consistent one since Alan Smith! Maybe it's cursed? Some have done well with it for a short period (Anelka, Reyes, Eduardo) but many have struggled.
