...there were a few outlets reporting Everton had enquired about the player but withdrew from the race when we knew Arsenal were interested.

i think, if we can actually agree a deal with Arsenal and get Giroud and his people in a room to talk we can sell the ambition to him. Game time and the chance to be the arrowhead in our new attack. The worst he'll say is no thank you.

Go and get Luis Muriel, every time he gets the ball he heads forwards and commits defenders.
Looks like he could do with losing half a stone then he would terrorise defenders and get us off our seats!

He'll be known as Giro.......

Can we sing 'sign on, sign on'?

 

[Kenshin]

I will say this about giroud. He would be a good signing but certainly not an ambitious one given his age.

We need to be finding the right sort of player 4-5 years younger to really establish a foundation along with the new signings so far

 

[Nymzee]

Lacazette
Sanchez
Welbeck
Walcott
Perez
Giroud

Why would he stay when he's going to be like 3rd choice or beyond?

Obviously.......

Lols forever if we buy Giroud immediately after jibbing off our only player who can cross a ball.

Will happily shurrup about it if we buy a good attacking passer but I'm holding out very little hope

mcgeady wasn't that good at crossing imo

 

[mezzrow]

If we sign him, I'm going to refer to him as "Ollie", because I'm a massive gimp

get on Ollie's Trolley...

Yet Lacazette is behind Giroud in the French national team.

Good thing Deschamps isn't the Arsenal manager then.

 

[ijjysmith]

Yet Lacazette is behind Giroud in the French national team.

That is true. And a bit weird like as we know who Arsenal will choose first.

Ollies sound

I like the idea of Rooney, Giroud and Sandro fighting for two starting places.
Giroud adds a slightly different dynamic to Rooney or Sandro.
I think its strange that Arsenal will let him leave for "only" £20m, considering he's ahead of Lacazette in the pecking order for the French national team.
