The issue is that 16 is nowhere near enough for the starting striker of a team with title ambitions. One thing Wenger has always made sure we have had is a top class striker, until now.
Who have we had sine Henry?
RvP we got one good season out of, that's been it.
One and a half seasons to be fair but we always had him. It wasn't necessarily Wenger's fault he was always injured but he always looked class when available. The first season post Henry we got 30 goals out of Adebayor and should have won the league. I wonder what Eduardo could have become if it wasn't for the horrific injury. He was just starying to become important and was a really clinical finisher. We've always had a striker that you knew would score a lot of goals if they stay fit but after 2 seasons you still don't feel that with Giroud.
