Olivier Giroud is not a bad player, but his ability in front of goal is inconsistent. If Arsenal had completed a rumoured deal for Luis Suarez last summer, his 30 league goals this term might well have fired them to title glory.

Yaya Sanogo is not good enough yet, and Nicklas Bendtner is leaving, meaning Bayern Munich’s Mario Mandzukic or even AC Milan’s Mario Balotelli would be welcomed with open arms.
