Pedro and Lacazette would add a balance and dimension to Arsenal I feel that would he hard to stop.
I feel like Wenger signed Sanchez to play up front, but it's failed everytime we've tried.
We scored 100 goals this season.
Never thought going forward was your problem tbh
Squads still horribly imbalanced IMO.
The majority of our players prefer to operate

We lack proper widemen and CMs that will hold position and of course strikers. That said we are not far off a title push.
If Ox stays fit for most of the season he could be the difference. Him and a disciplined Sanchez Will do a lot of damage. Ox is at the age where its time to shine. Actually we have a lot of players who will now be starting to reach towards their peaks. Wilshere, Ramsey, Ox, Theo, to name a few
That's the keyword there. 'Discipline'. All our attackers have a free role to do whatever they please up top. That what would be alright if they were intelligent ala Barca. Unfortunately guys like Sanchez and Ox can't do this.
Can't see Wenger issuing out orders though.
We are still indecisive and make the wrong decisions in the final third.
Our improvement defensively is just recognition on Wengers part that this group is not quite ready to destroy teams yet. I'm yet to see partnerships on the pitch largely due to lack of playing time as a result of injuries. There is a little something between Sabt and Ozil and Ramsey sometimes but that's in the middle of the park.
Nevertheless things are getting better and I suspect we will see an improvement though I doubt we will breach the heights of previous top teams.
It's a lot better than our early season form when we were a shambles
Ox is the only one that plays as a proper wide forward.
I actually think Wenger doesn't care much for wing play. Sanchez isn't a winger and Ramsey for hell isn't
A direct winger liker Bale would benefit Giroud only so I'm not sure Wenger is bothered about buying one.

Time to stop thinking about what benefits limited players like Giroud and think about what will benefit our better players in Ozil, Santi & Alexis.
All 3 players have had better understandings with Welbeck but the main issue is.... it's Welbeck. If we had someone with similar mobility but more intelligence, better movement and killer mentality in the box we'd be a force.
We won't destroy teams until we get this top bracket striker. We could do that with the likes of RVP, Adebayor, Henry etc... no coincidence that we hardly do this now since Giroud became main man.
Even that woeful 11/12 season we scored 7 in a game and then 3 goals against teams like Milan, 5 at Stamford Bridge etc.. RVP playing a big role in all of them.
Top CF is the difference, Giroud isn't that
This may sound stupid but having a slow defender blunts our attacking style.
How can we bomb forward as a team when one ball over the top will leave Mert in no mans land.
You can't bomb forward and then have a deep defence as you'll be stretched big time.
Wenger has finally adjusted to having a defender slower than coastal erosion but it's to the detriment of our attacking play.
What exactly is wrong with the attack? Besides a world class striker, the team is in good shape. And no team can play like Barcelona in the PL--the cynicism of Chelsea would just be replicated every week. And their squad has world class players from midfield to attack. I prefer the more defensive Arsenal that isn't frequently conceding because of indisciplne.
