Literally someone who can put the ball in the net. We can create endless amounts of chances but i feel we jsut lack a natural finisher. I honestly dont have a clue who is out there that would fit that role perfectly for us??? I also think IF we do by another forward (your never find someone to replace henry!!!) it will without a doubt be ANOTHER youngster!

Gunners want £13m Oba
By SHAUN CUSTIS
June 28, 2007
COMMENT ON THIS STORY
ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger wants Obafemi Martins to replace Thierry Henry.
The Nigerian striker, 22, has a £13million buy-out clause in his Newcastle contract.
Gunners boss Wenger has £16m from skipper Henry’s Barcelona switch to play with and a swoop for the 17-goal Toon ace would give him further room for manoeuvre in the transfer market.
St James’ Park chief Sam Allardyce has met with Martins to discuss the hitman’s future after he refused to play against Watford in the final game of last season.
Big Sam wants Martins to stay but knows he might ask to leave if a club of Arsenal’s stature makes a formal offer.
So far, the Gunners have not tabled an official bid but Wenger has set the wheels in motion and Martins’ advisors are aware of the interest from the Emirates.

I be happy to let him go for £13M in all honesty, dont get me wrong I like the lad, and he certainly knows how to kick a ball. However he cant' dribble, has no first touch and often goes in the huff if things aren't going his way. I really think Wenger could be the coach to get the best out of him, given his proven track record of working with 'rough diamonds', good luck to the lad I say.

Read today that WHU were willing to pay Tevez £115k a week to stay with them. He isnt happy though as Neil is still on a higher wage.

What a random number to come up with
They've also came out and said they're fine in attack, doubt he'll end up there.

Im sure I had some reason to pick that number, no idea why now though
And yeah, seems Inter have been put off for some reason, as a week or so ago they said he was their main target!!

After studying Hammer's and Inter Milan's comments, I make it only 37% likely that Tevez will join Inter.

Why would it be funny if it were Martins? Under Wenger I reckon he'd do well.

As you sell Henry you expect a world class replacement. Now as good as Martins may be, he isnt and never will be world class.

he will be the kind of forward you'll learn to hate. He'll score 1 out of 5 chances and fluff the rest.

Wenger doesn't do that though. when has he ever replaced like for like? He has an astute eye for talent, value for money talent.

I understand that, but when losing a world class player you'd want another to fill his boots.
