Transfer Rumour Olivier Giroud

[devogue]

I really am trying hard, apart from the obvious latent homosexuality flowing freely throughout this place, to understand all the love for this Arsenal bench warmer that has hardly been a world beater throughout his career.
We just sold one of the best strikers around. Is this our ambition as a replacement?

Consistent premier league goalscorer, regularly starts for France and is Koemans ideal striker? Christ, let's be real we can't get anyone on lukakus level, and Giroux is basically the best we can get. Stop making snarky comments about the club.

I prefer Giroud to Lukaku, always have, better link up play and less of a whingebag...scores plenty of goals too

He is better at actual football than Rom though.

Lukaku 17 3267 25 - goal every 130minutes
Giroud 17 1198 12 - goal every 99 minutes

Lukaku 16 3177 18 -goal every 198 minutes
Giroud 16 2431 16 -goal every 151 minutes

1 player played almost every single minute he could for 2 season and scored 37 goals in 6,444 total minutes, the other fed on scraps and scored 34 goals in 3,629.

Im not attempting to say I think hes "better" than Lukaku, but as far as replacements go, we could certainly do a lot worse, add in his all round better game and he would be utterly perfect for the way Ronnys blues wish to play the next few years.

 

[PeregrineT]

You cant get any more of a proven goalscorer than a guy who has proven hes a goalscorer. I really dont get the dislike on Giroud. He gets it done, and its been more than 1 year now.

Giroud or dzeko if it was one or the other?

There is no wonder why Arsenal fans want change. Giroud has always been productive but for some reason he's always playing bunch of attacking midfielders without a striker. It's like he's become infatuated with it.

Giroud for me. Much sexier.

 

[Goat]

Giroud or dzeko if it was one or the other?

Tough 1 that, I think Giroud would have the greater hunger, massive point to prove to a few people at arse, so I would probably go with him.

I'm looking forward to the season...stop ruining it.

i'd be happy with either myself, can't actually choose which one i'd be happier with.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I'd be happy with Giroud but I'd be surprised if he wanted to move up North.

I dont personally think there was much in the Dzeko story anyway.

Think hes quite happy in Rome.

Seems happy to warm the bench with his French pal Arsene...
