Olivier Giroud

Great signing. How many of the top six have better backup strikers than Giroud?

1. Oh okay. I'll edit that with Stamford Bridge. Like that'll make things better am I right?  

2. Alright. But most of Anfield encounters were draws. With a shambolic defense of Liverpool's, I'm shocked we only beaten them once in Anfield since 2012.

3. They are looking it to it now, starting with VVD.

You are wrong again. We beat them in April 2014 0-2 (Gerrard slip game) and later in November 1-2 (Cahill, Costa).

You started support Chelsea in 2018? Don't remember results from 4 years ago, don't remember where we played this season 2 months ago...

Thing is. Giroud is not going to put the pressure on Morata the way Dzeko would.

 

Dzeko is good enough to not only challenge for the starting spot, but might even expect it. Giroud is clearly backup. He doesnt push us forward in that regard.

From Drogba to Diego Costa to Morata to Giroud/Crouch/ Barnes....this should be a joke...

Okay, what in the fuck is this!?

First of, why the fuck would we be after Llorente again when he's been abysmal for Spuds? Secondly, why would we even entertain the idea of sending Batshuayi to Spuds!? Lastly, Giroud clearly isn't as close to joining us as was reported.

Clearly a lot more twists and turns before the deadline. My money is still on Bats staying and us signing no other forwards.

So, Di Marzio was talking rubbish with that 15m deal.   This might still happen then...

Who available would challenge for starting spot and push us forward?

Be surprised if this happens.. Even more so with whats come out. Problem is the fees are bound to be high and plus they seemed willing to pay 30/20 for Carroll who was injured!! Know you have to add wages and that that in top but still

Don't get why we keep targeting 30+ strikers. The club are clearly looking for any excuse not to spend on an older striker. Even if we set a "deadline" if Arsenal came back and accepted the offer, why would we then pull out? We've signed no one else

Also, the club only offer one year contracts to players over 30 (with very little flexibility on this) - which our targets will never accept (why would they if they have a a longer contract elsewhere?).

twitter football supporters talk Bullshit that's like me saying I'm more raging cahill joining spurs than Hazard joining utd

Why the f*** are we not after Aubameyang instead of the Dzekos, Girouds, Crouchs and all the other 30+s ... The Board are becoming an unique specimen!!!

[Special Juan 28,092]

So Chelsea what happens today you bunch of amateurs.

[Pizy 18,850]

If we panic and settle for Llorente for £25m or whatever I'm gonna be completely depressed. Not only would that be a ridiculous price for a near 33 year old, but he has been a total bust at Spuds. Would be money flushed down the toilet.

If we now can't get Dzeko or Giroud, just fucking keep Bats.
