Transfer Rumour Olivier Giroud

I think it was koeman

indeed it was, my mistake.

apologies @The Rhino

That isn't even fair too Rom. Rom eclipsed in a midtable team year after year, while Giroud played the most exciting attacking team in the Premier League. Rom is five time the player Giroud is

I hope we do sign Giroud , we need someone to frighten other teams defenders . Purely for the reason every time I saw him warming up to come on against us he frightened the life out of me....on that basis....sign him up.

 

[BlueToff]

Lukaku and Giroud aren't similar at all though, completely different types of strikers.

We need a 'target man' regardless of Rom leaving or not really.

But Giroud and a combination of Sandro and another (?) would be brilliant as a choice for the central position, with Mirallas, Lookman, Bolasie, DCL and Barkley (or another?) as rotation options.

69 Arsenal goals in 164 games, 3 FA Cup winners medals & a ton of European experience.

Mediocre.

OK mate.

It's not a particularly good goal ratio considering the quality of the team he plays in. IMO he's not the sort of player who produces something special to win a game. If he were that good then other clubs would be lining up to buy him or have already lured him from Arsenal. That said, he's better than Kone, but I just don't think he's going to be the answer for us when Rom goes.

Not well

Lol why do they think they have a chance of competing with FC Sexy? They bought one arrogant Frenchman because no one else would take a risk on him as he was a bell and he one great season then buggered off and had a big sulk! What have West Ham actually done ever?

I'm sorry sageyfrandelino, but I just don't rate him, plus he looks like that melt Rylan, who does Big Brother

Take that back

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Lukaku will only get better, Giroud will only get worse.

But still.

We know we can't sign Lukaku at the level he is at. But we can sign someone who can do the job he does now for a couple of years whilst lads like Onyekuru and Sandro develop and have the chance of becoming the next Lukaku. I think it's a great plan!

 

[sageyefc]

Giroud not prolific enough

lol lol

One of the most prolific in the league over the past few seasons

I'd still rather have Rom, not least because he has a better injury record and is younger. Howeveg if he is dead set on leaving then Giroud at least will replace sone of his goals and his aerial strength would be useful with Koeman's style.

Anyone of sane mind would rather have Rom (younger, more goals etc..) but he's going and we need proven premier league goalscorers. Giroud is a pretty good option IMO, particularly if he's surrounded by quicker, harder working forwards.

Arsenal should be the most exciting attacking team in the league but yet year in year out they serve up utter dross for large portions of the season.

Giroud....you're having a laugh

Not a particular good ratio? He had the best scoring ratio in the league last year

Doesn't produce something to win a game? Apart from all them goals when coming on as a sub and dragging Arsenal out the [Poor language removed]
