As for giroud I cant say that I know too much about him tbh but if the polish centre forward from dortmund is available for roughly the same price then he would be my preferred option. For starters he is a couple of years younger, secondly he seems a natural goalscorer and lastly it doesnt do him any harm to be a self confessed Arsenal fan (supported us when henry was in his pomp 8) ). £14 for this guy would be good business imo :barscarf:

Whilst this would certainly confirm that RVP is off, would be a nice change for us to actually bring in some quality as a replacement. Front pairing of him and Podolski would be very good.

Didn't he have a similar scoring record to Chamakh though in the year we bought him???
I am worried

No Giroud has scored 24 goals in 40 games with 9 assists

Cham has never scored more than 15 in his whole career.

Giroud looks quite good and a step in the right direction. If we somehow keep RVP having Pod and Giroud alongside is a great front 3

Why does it mean van Persie is off?

It could easily mean Chamakh and Bendtner are off and the club are taking steps to replace them.

He has only 2 seasons experience in the top division of french football though and that has to be a concern surely ?

Am I the only one who thinks lewandownski would be a better signing ?

lewandownski would be better yes. It depends though on the rvp situation

rvp stays - then pod and Giroud is quite good. Then maybe dempsey, and a DM and we have a strong squad again


Who knows though. More than likely we wont sign anyone that we have been linked with

Ha, thought it was quite clever.

Good player though, would be surprised if Bremen start selling all their good players though.

Stupid chairman. Just keep your mouth shut. He may aswell be saying 'offers welcome'. The only thing the club gives a shit about is money.
