Tiote's marginally less shit than Song or Frimpong. He may be better than nobody, but only just, and almost anybody would be better than him.
Absolutely - pingpong and tiote could be one and the same if it wasn't for that dench bullshit Tiote wouldn't get a game for a decent pub side ffs

Always rated shane long - he actually would be a very good foil for sanchez if we played two up top cos he is pacy and runs the channels well, plus he is excellent in the air He wouldn't be in my top 10 or anything but he would be as good as giroud and infinitely better than le postman

Who was the last one we had? Nelson Vivas?
Apparently only Vivas, Martinez and one Fabian Caballero who played 3 games on loan for us in 1998-99. Normally have a pretty awesome memory when it comes to players, games etc but can't remember this bloke at all.
Caballero was a dirty player on what little we saw of him.
Elbowed someone in the face against Preston in the build up to Petit's goal.
There were lots of replays of it on TV.

If he spent 12m on Shane Long you would have a breakdown.

True. We've signed FrimpSong for our 5-a-side. We looked at Tiote but passed. He offered no t-shirts or Twatter stuff about the team.

As I said, Shane Long wouldnt be in my top 10 wanted list but he would, in my opinion at least, offer more to our team than giroud does - girouds goal tally (and confidence) has improved dramatically but he offers no pace or threat in behind the defence and when you are playing with just 1 striker these are qualities he has to bring to the table.
The Mirror are reporting that citeeh are leaving negredo out of their champs league squad and he would be a great signing imo - I cannot understand for the life of me how a guy can go from being a key player to just being a squad player within months
Negredo is out injured for approx next 3 months maybe more,left out of their CL squad cos they need to free up a position to allow another non home grown player in,yeah we should buy him ffs.

I kind of agree. I think Giroud has done very well, played in a system that does not suit his limited ability at all. I think Long would do quite well in our system as it is. But all things being equal, both players being played in systems that suit them and their respective strengths, then as much as I think Long is a good player, I would say Giroud is better.
Tbh if Arsene added Long to what we have for 12m I wouldn't be upset at all. Who knows how he would develop as a player? Worth a punt? Maybe. Actually, I'd have Long every day of the week ahead of some of the shit we've paid millions to over the years like Bendtner.
