Wishlist Olivier Giroud

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

Expectations for two players with completely different quality can't be the same...

I'm afraid they can.

Gervinho was expected to be a big hit in the Premier League, just as Giroud is expected to be.

There you go. I just proved they can?

[Jase 43,479]

Dislike this. Would be much better if we'd get Olivier. Great talent, he will rock in Premier League.

You think Giroud would be happy playing second fiddle to Torres?!

You don't have to read papers to know if a player will hit or not.

Some people consider in France that Premier League as the country which championship hasn't any good goalkeeper and where wingers are shite. It's awful to think the Gervinho-Sow combo was regarded as two of the best players in Ligue 1.

I follow Giroud since he came at Tours 4 seasons ago, he passed a new step every season (look at the summary I made the page before) and everytime he managed to improve his playing level. Why not one more time ? Especially because he's a good mentality, not like the Gervinho, Gomis, Gignac. And he hasnt Chamakh's 15 years old striker mentality

At the moment I think he could be a 1st choice at Spurs, Everton. At Bayern, Arsenal, Chelsea where he's linked he can be the 2nd choice. But with the guarantee his 2nd season would be really even better than the 1st.

I don't like the quick considerations like "Eredivisie or Ligue 1 is full of overrated players". Like everywhere there are good or overrated players, the main thing is to be able to sort them

If Seb says he good, then this guy is the real deal!

I would absolutely love it if we came in and easily surpassed Le Arse's offer of £12m. This seems like quite a low offer, and Giroud is worth more. Heaven knows we would offer better wages.

[SeB 1,281]

But we can offer him enormous wages, he'll chose the club where he'd play the most often. I remember at Tours, he has never hidden his admiration for the english game and as he was the striker of a promoted team in 2nd division he was scouted by Celtic and Middlesbrough. He stayed.

He could have gone anywhere but he chose then Montpellier who ended how everyone know, as champions 3 years after being promoted

[Funkyflashman 187]

It's interesting that given his desire to play regular football, he chose a club that will have RVP and Podolski ahead of him in the pecking order next year.

Wenger could play all 3 at once. Podolski on LW. Giroud upfront with Van Persie playing just behind him.

[Funkyflashman 187]

I guess though it would be weird considering the season he had this year to withdraw him and play him behind someone.

Doesn't really matter anyway, we dont have a pressing need for another striker

True but Van Persie is capable and likes to play in the hole behind the striker as well.

Not a pressing concern but we do need a capable one as backup to Torres.

[Funkyflashman 187]

Yep agreed. More cover than Sturridge? I think a Hulk/Jovetic buy would take care of that and id rather have the flexibility than a pure striker like giroud

Only reason I would want Hulk here is because of his physical strength to play upfront when needed and of course, his versatility to play in different positions. Otherwise, we should really be ignoring this transfer given Porto seem to be demanding a ridiculous amount of money for him!

Signed with Arsenal

CLOSE.

[Pizy 18,850]

Hopefully RvP leaves so we don't have to put up with Arsenal fans crowning themselves league champions all summer.

Already seeing the Arse roaches on twitter claiming they have the best attack in Europe. Fuck off. Your squad depth is pitiful and your defense is complete shit.
