    To those with Sanchez:

    Can you really justify £2m extra on top of Giroud's price tag of £8.5m? Giroud, whilst undoubtedly less talented and nifty, is the sole out-and-out striker at Arsenal and Wenger is obviously very fond of him. Giroud is going to be the furthest forward and will probably score the most goals come the end of the season.

    So why Sanchez?
