Transfer Rumour Olivier Giroud

Not open for further replies.
DCL might one day be ready to play as a proper target man-type player

At the moment he isn't and Koeman seems to like a quick, hard-working forward (Shane Long at Southampton) and a target man (Pelle) to choose from

He's replicating that here with Sandro and, potentially, Giroud

Giroud has never really had pace, so at the age of nearly 31, he shouldn't really decline too much over the coming couple of years. Hopefully DCL will be able to take over at that point, or else we go shopping for an alternative

Makes perfect sense to me and he has a lot more to his game than the alternatives we've seen mentioned - e.g. Benteke etc
 
To be fair Morgs has been known to slightly exaggerate when he is excited at the prospect of a signing , or to stress a point which in this case is , he doesn't rate Bentake lol
Immobile, but a fantastic target man.

If we had Sandro and Benteke up front, I'd be happy.

If we had Sandro and Giroud up front, I'd be nurturing the biggest erection for about 90 minutes every week.

I agree
Siggy seems to work best with a target man to aim at and Sandro would hopefully benefit from the knockdown
I could see Giroud getting 25+ goals/assists in a season.
A front four of

Sandro Rooney. Siggy

Giroud

That would supply goals.
With Gana and Morgan nailed on to start , its were Klassen and Davies fits in that hard to figure.
Rotation I suppose but I don't think he bought Klassen to be a squad player rather than first 11
Interesting times ahead
 
It isn't a perception though is it. I would love to see Giroud and if we were a top 6 side, I have no doubts he would already have requested a transfer.

And Benteke's record suggests he is far better than average. He would come here and score 15+ in the league and would suit our style perfectly. And thus far we haven't really signed "average players", excluding Rooney who is at worst good for marketing.

I know penalties still count and still have to be scored but he's only scored more than 15 non-penalty goals once in 5 seasons.
 

"Halfway" been the key word. He still has a lot to offer. DCL could learn a lot from him as well.

He's not even halfway. A quarter, maybe. His game is as good as it ever was. His only crime is not being able to displace Alexis Sanchez in the starting eleven of a team, which is something perhaps two players in world football would be actually able to do.
 
Sanchez looks like handing in transfer request according to reports. Hardly going to let Giroud leave while the Sanchez situation is unresolved.

which is why this will likely drag on a bit.

we'll wait as long as we deem suitable to hold out for Giroud IMO, as he's our no.1 target.

But there will be others lined up.
