Pizy 18,916 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Tbh, not sure why Giroud would even want to come here at this point in his career. At least Dzeko is still good enough to challenge and push Morata for his place in the team. Giroud would be nothing more than a Plan B which he's already unhappy about at Arsenal. Hed be better suited trying to go back to France and be the leading man for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 If fee isn't crazy, sign him up, great backup option even though he irritates me. His style of play is such that he can still do it in PL for a few more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's why they were trying to get him to go to BvB If that's true, then I don't want to sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old Chelsea who refuse to pay out 80 million on a superstar to elevate the squad into the elite but would rather pay for 3 or 4 overpriced journeymen instead.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 35M for Giroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 As I said before, I'd take Giroud but I think Dzeko is more likely to really push Morata because his all around game is more refined. Doesn't really seem as though Dzeko is happening now so I suppose this is the best alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka 3,393 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Arsenal are open to both a loan or a permanent transfer for Olivier Giroud and there is interest from Chelsea and Dortmund (Telegraph) Bild report that Michy Batshuayi will join BVB on loan until the end of the season as Aubameyang completes a move to Arsenal. Giroud to BVB falls through, Bild say, due to Giroud wanting a move to Chelsea #BVB #AFC  Batshuayi to Dortmund Giroud to Chelsea or Giroud to Dortmund Dzeko to Chelsea   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Vast majority of Arsenal fans I'm seeing are totally against this.  They think it's far too dangerous to sell him to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little do they know is that even if he does come (which he wont imo) he'll hardly play and therefore be of no threat to them. That's how we roll these days you see.

It's too big 625 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Is Giroud better than Dzeko? Unless this is a loan I don't see the point in a transfer as he is also over 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Has everyone miraculously forgotten it takes Giroud 20 chances to score 1 goal. If you think Morata is frustrating then watch Giroud for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El P. 1,354 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think Džeko is twice-as-good shooter of the ball than Giroud is. Olivier on the other side is the best in the league when it comes to headers. And is strong on the ball as hell. All in all, in comparison with Morata, Giroud provides a lot more strength, and somewhat better finishing ability with feet. He is not much better finisher (with feet) than Alvaro. If he was, with added brutal areal presence and heading skill, he would play every game at Arsenal. And he is not. Also, he is slow as f., probably slower than Džeko. Džeko's finishing with feet and shooting in general is light years ahead of others two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If you watch the compilation of Giroud's 100 goals for Arsenal you can see that he's an fantastic poacher. Excellent instinctual finisher in the box with his head and his feet. Where I've seen him struggle is when he's got a lot of time to think or when he tries to do too much.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
