Transfer Rumour Olivier Giroud

Why only 11 starts tho? Goals per minute he's on 100, while Roms on 130, playing 2073 more minutes.

Could he have kept up that rate?

Giroud: ‘I have had limited playing time for several reasons but that is not to say that I lost the confidence of the coach. I will not be content with limited playing time next season.’

Wenger: ‘It has been a frustrating season for him because he has not played a lot. And when he has played well, he has not always played the next match. He has won us a lot of points when he has come on because he has scored lots of times. He has qualities that our team need.’

That's even more confusing. "He plays very little and yet scores goals and wins points which is frustrating"
 

Wegner demands him to get a decent haircut before he starts on the regular

can't say I blame him

I think we need two more strikers not incluing anyone we have have now or who is already on they way, have some rotation, he could be one IMO.

I do see the need for more options up top. Its usual to have at least 2-3 strikers in the squad with different strengths. Giroud, sure, he's an all round striker, great in the air, powerful and good on the ground. He's done very solidly at Arsenal without pulling up any trees but for whatever reason hasnt made himself the main man. Wenger seems to prefer Welbeck and now Iwobi... but maybe thats because once you have Henry or Bergkamp whoever comes next will never be as good.

I just dont think this would ever happen in a million years. 3 reasons. 1. Fee. The'd want far more than we'd want to pay for a 30 year old with 2 years left on his deal. Soon to be 31. 2. Wage. He'd want more than the 80k he's on now as his last high profile deal. 3. He's French. He won't want to leave the capital. He's too cosmopolitan. Too pretty. He'd stay in london or go back to France. Italy maybe. Spain probably.

My guess is he was sacrificed to keep Sanchez content
 
Tell me why we looked 1000X more dangerous with Valencia and, apart from Ross, who was loitering back with Gana and Schneiderlin more than trying to be an outlet, was any sort of honest goal threat? We were criminally one-dimensional after Bolasie got injured and it showed.

Great point based on actual facts here as opposed to agenda-driven conjecture.
 

There's no way we should be paying £20m for a player who's 31 in a couple of months. He's not Distin who was an impressive athlete for his age. Giroud is already slow.
