Liverpool and Arsenal fans aren’t too happy with their transfer windows either so it’s not just us that like a good moan lol.
{Ed001's Note - check out Everton if you want to see what unhappy is!}

??? I'd say that. Balogun a strange one!
{Ed001's Note - yeah, could be worse though, every attacker could have rejected you after getting a phone call from Arteta. I mean even choosing Sunderland over you must be worrying. How can the reigning champions and UCL finalists struggle so badly to recruit forwards? What does he tell them when he calls them?}

I'm not even being facetious, but Emile Heskey is Arteta's ideal striker. Someone who is strong enough to hold up the ball, can link with the midfielders, and is a set piece threat. Honestly, it's exactly what Arteta wants from his striker.

"Come watch our defenders score more than you" maybe?

He asks them if they can do a job at CB Ed!
{Ed001's Note - it really wouldn't surprise me!}

Arsenal already have their Heskey; he is called Gyokeres.
Arteta wants an Alvarez-type, clever, quick striker prepared to play Arsenal style of football and defend from the front.
The truth is, there are not that many top, top strikers around. The best ones are already signed up.
England will find it very difficult to replace Kane.
