Transfer Rumour Olivier Giroud

[Goat]

I agree with him.

The lure of La Francais is strong in the boy.

 

[toffeejack]

definitely signing rooney will make players like this stand up. He's a bigger statement signing than robinho was for real imo. Don't care about age or price etc, rooney is much more known in football than robinho was.

Bit confused about this link really.

Statistically not bad: Avg 14 goals over the last 3 seasons, notably scores more of them away from home which is no bad thing.

Lots of these are headers though, never seen much evidence that Ron likes the kind of early balls in from wide or deeper crosses that he thrives on. Then again not Wenger's style either hence he often seems to be brought on as a sub/plan B at Arsenal.

One of the first things Bolasie said after joining last year was that the manager wants balls going into the box early. Worth also remembering in Bolasie we do have somebody who can put in a great cross, frustrating that he's out until Xmas at least as I reckon he'd thrive with the players we've brought in so far, nevermind the ones we might bring in still.

Koeman loves a big presence up top. He had Pelle at Feyenoord and Saints, and also Austin. Obviously he does switch things up.

Not really much to be confused about

Not watched enough of AFC to know about his presence/hold-up play tbh.

Doesn't hurt to have something different to what we have though, certainly if it means we can switch it up against teams who play anti-football.

Yes - Remember Glen Hoddle's unfashionable Chelsea signing A 31 year old Ruud Guillit 1995 ?
It was the turning point in their fortunes in my mind.....

Last 3 seasons hes scored in away games at United, 2 at City, Chelsea, 3 at the pit

thats a big game player

 

[arminisgod]

Rolls Royce of a striker as harry would say.

His goals to minute ratio is sensational.

Wenger would be mental to sell, but one thing wenger is, is loyal and fair to the person. If giroud wanted the move he will let him

Giroud isn't a target man in the Rickie Lambert sense, in fairness. He's a poacher but he does have the ability to hold the ball up well and bring others into play.

The amount of goals that Arsenal score that seem like he's been a poacher that he either started the move off or had a crucial part in is huge as well mate

Most underrated player in the league

 

[RomanReigns]

50% chance

I like those odds

This will become Rooney FC now.

I'm happy it'll be a local lad as the public face of the club; however, we could get swamped by this.

 

[davek]

I'd file this and the VVD rumour in the pure fantasy category.

Sigurdsson, yes. Those two, no.

He has lived with that scrutiny all his adult life Dave.

Be a change for us, granted, but no worries imo.
