Like I've seen elsewhere, you've seen Watford turn down 16m for Deeney. Andy Carroll would've cost more. There are lower league teams rejecting more money for inferior players.

If we can get a striker that has scored 100 goals for a top 6 club for only £15m it's great business.

Couldn't agree more. Well said

Morata and Giroud  looks good 

 

[Pizy 18,368]

Already imagining a scenario in which we deploy both Morata and Giroud together with Hazard up there as well. Giroud as the target man with Hazard and Morata drifting all across the box.

Could be very effective. Gives opponents a big headache defensively.

Arsenal cave in too easily. You got the likes of Championship clubs like Fulham rejecting around £20m for Cairney from PL clubs whilse Arsenal are selling Giroud and Coquelin for less. Established PL players. You couldn't make it up

I really wanted this guy before dzeko honestly. 

Because for me he is the perfect super sub. 

That is what is needed.

Di Marzio said we have agreed a deal but Matt Law said we haven't. Crouch is coming, fellas!

[Pizy 18,368]

Yeah, once again Di Marzio and his crew have said it's basically a done deal and again the Chelsea mouthpiece Matt Law says not so fast.

Dammit.

Giroud clearly has issues with not starting games. I don't see how we realistically work around that. We aren't turning Morata into a sub, and we aren't about to switch to 2 up-top.

For who Giroud? Maybe we got him less than what he is worth but the player itself is average, no wonder the Arsenal fans are happy he is leaving. Morata and Giroud, I guess it's fitting since we aren't part of the lite anymore.

Literally every Arsenal fan I know isn’t happy about it, what are you talking about?

He’s gone from battling 3rd choice striker with Welbeck at Arsenal to 2nd choice at CFC (with the gap between him and Morata being closer too).

Di Marzio is the most overrated ITK

Yeah, agree. Morata isn't settled at our team, is often off form, suspended or injured. Plenty of time for Olivier to show what he got, and maybe sometimes even to start ahead of Alvaro, why not?

hold up, he's 31...we'll need couple of weeks to finish this one up.

They aren't happy about the price not the player leaving, look at Arsenal Mania.

I guess we will get more ladies fans from now on...

We are signing an Arsenal reject.

 

Chelsea is done for.

We are signing guy who was their first choice striker for years, as a back up option. Let's not over exaggerate.
