Special Juan

He isn't a false 9 you are correct, but he's been made to be.

Just confirmed on Talksport

Some mis kick that lastnight

His agent has just arrived in London...of to Cobham.

Yeah, like I said really bad planning.

Unless he was tweeting from his cell, I doubt it.

And no recognised striker for tonight. Yes, we can play Hazard there but this just purely goes down to fucking bad planning and leaving ourselves exposed like this is pathetic.

He scores goals and that's where people completely stop when it comes him. They don't actually see the side of him that cannot attack or defend, it's absolute bonkers.

I think Giroud will go to Dortmund, and we remain with Bats. We have a game today and no recognised striker if he leaves.

DT on Arsenal fan TV will be a great listen later.

Arsenal Giroud with a big clap and a wave to Arsenal fans.

Good luck lad.

It's like splitting hairs for me this one, Dzeko is a better finisher IMO but Giroud is one of the best one touch hold up players in the league, he's just a big nightmare to mark and with his aerial threat he's a big danger. After all, that's what we want if you read reports.

With Aubameyang going to Arsenal they only have Maximillian Philipp and possibly Yarmolenko, but he's more an inside forward. Game time is there for Bats and I would say a guaranteed start for him, Aubameyang is a big miss and the hole he leaves is big but they really do not have a prolific striker to step in, which is good for Bats.

They have Albrighton and Grey and whilst they aren't Mahrez they can do a job for them, this is Leicester we are talking and the sheer money numbers that are being talked about are absolutely off the scale for them to turn down. Have to remember the player now wants out, the pressure on them is really big.

They won't get 90M for him and with 1 day to go I can see City upping their offer and getting him.

He said nothing before the game, just talked in brief, that will probably come after the game.

They have to have a result in mind against Swansea though, I mean he isn't starting but is there as a plan B. It doesn't alter anything right now in terms of the transfer, it will probably get done tomorrow.

Sounds like it's happening this, and out of all the names linked he's the one who is the best of them. We have to settle for this type of signing now and understand we are not big pullers in the transfer market whilst this board are pulling the strings. I just hope this is a Conte approval signing and he can get the maximum from him and he comes in offering us a lot.

Maybe it's us he's handed the request in for

He comes in for Sane straight away if the move happens. It's also not just about who he replaces this is City building a fucking absolute monster of a side where the bench is 200-300M worth of players. They are building a squad to win everything.

The problem is Pep can make him better, like he's done with Sterling.

Handed in transfer request in the last hour....Looks like he is City bound.

It's no wonder Phil Neville said what he did Women
