Ya, a striker that could play on the wings as well preferably. Because the Jew is going back to Chelsea, Arshavin hopefully will stay in Russia and Gervinho has been shit so far to be honest.
I doubt we'll go for a leftback, for one we just bought Santos, for a second reason, Wenger will keep faith in Gibbs.
Now more important than any signing is keeping Van Persie.

James McClean was the victim of death threats on Twitter in the wake of his call-up to the Ireland squad for Euro 2012.
The Sunderland winger was named in Giovanni Trapattoni's 23-strong panel for the tournament in Poland and Ukraine and took to the social networking site to celebrate his inclusion on Monday.
“Absolutely honoured and couldn't be happier to have been called up to represent my country at the euros no better feelin! #COYBIG #ireland #euro12,” he tweeted.
However, some Twitter users made threats on McClean's life shortly after. The 23-year-old was born in Derry and took the decision to declare for the Republic of Ireland after representing Northern Ireland as a youth.
He declined an invitation to join the senior Norther Ireland squad in July 2011 in the hope of being recognised south of the border and that decision provoked hostility among a minority of Norther Ireland football observers.
“F*** up your dirty fenian b****** il make sure you get shot when you set foot back into gods country #FTP,” one user tweeted.
Another said: “U deserve to be shot for that comment!! Your playing for Ireland and not the country you were born in (NI). #p****”
Both accounts have since been deleted.
McClean responded to the threats against him later in the day, saying, “Love the dogs abuse am gettin of shock N.I fans, just worry about watchin ur own country at the euros... oh wait #mybad #awkward haha.”
A PSNI spokesperson told the BBC: "We don't discuss individual cases, however, if we receive information that a person's life may be at risk we will inform them accordingly. We never ignore anything which may put an individual at risk."
