The January "He Looks Quite Good" Transfer Thread

[NickF]

Selling Giroud to Chavski for £15m will be up there on the most mindless things that even Mr Lobotomy himself has done

Perhaps they can take Cech back.....in which case I'd settle for £10m

Can we find someone to sell to City, that way we would have help out all the top 4...

Ox to the victims
Sanchez to manure
Giroud to chavs (possibly)

Even by Wenger's standards that is impressive.

Binning Giroud, Walcott, Coquelin and Chamberlain within 6 months is worth a celebration by itself.

Who cares if Giroud ends up at Chelsea, he won't be a regular and impact will be minimal. Absolute w*nk player and we should all be relieved he's finally leaving.

[Ray C]

sounds like this transfer has some way to go yet, people on twitter celebrating already, we've got two days left and we're only close to agreeing a fee, with dortmund waiting on finding a replacement. and where are they going to get a replacement?

honestly if we're doing this just chuck them giroud

£35 million being quoted for Giroud WTF is this really happening ??

the fact that we're contemplating letting not just sanchez and walcott go in the same window but giroud too tells you we haven't got a clue what we're doing, happy to see good replacements come in but to start a rebuilding job like this in january is just....weird. not like us at all, tells me that wenger doesn't have as much of a say in our business as we did but more worrying that we're shipping strikers but letting welbeck stay, could we even find a suitor for him if we had to?

I wouldn't call Giroud & Walcott strikers. If they were ever any good they're well past it now. Happy to see feo gone and can't wait for 'Le Lampost' to follow him. Give the kids a go - or you'll never know !!.

Dear Chelsea

You can't have Giroud for £15m but you can have Welbeck for free.

Really? I would let Chelski have Giroud for £5m, just to have the overrated pile of turd off the payroll.

Giroud, remember went 10+ games without a goal in the season Leicester won the league. Without a doubt a major factor in our capitulation when really with every other major team fucking up, the league was there for the taking. Welbeck whilst not a great finisher at least creates space for others with his pace/movement. Given Giroud is now old as well as slow get rid.

Says a lot about chelski mind if he is one of their main targets. Perhaps the Russian is fed up of putting his hand in his pocket.

We haven't have a proper CF since Alan Smith.

Wenger to any of the above would be a brilliant move...not happening obviously because they all have some ambition

I don't see what's so complicated here. Binning this useless ear cupping lamppost *word censored* to the chavs and bringing in Aubameyang. Let those *word censored* have him for free for all I care. This has the makings of another classic transfer fuck up by Wanker and Wiggy Plc.

Giroud is nowhere near good enough to be Arsenal's first choice centre forward, but was for years because we chose to sell RvP for "footballing reasons" as we all know

Having said that, even as the blunt tool that he is, he has a particularly kind of effectiveness coming off the bench for 15-20 minutes and is likely to bag the odd goal from set plays. I absolutely hate those c.unts from the Bridge with a passion and have personally loved every minute of seeing them linked with Carroll, Crouch and Ashley Barnes! Why on earth we would even consider remotely helping them out by offloading someone who is an upgrade on all of those 3 useless c.unts is beyond me

As I said, start by helping us first. Either take that helmet headed c.unt back as supposedly Maureen was mad at the time to let him go to us (yeah right - that's really hindered them hasn't it with Courtois and Begovic), or in all seriousness chuck someone into the deal who might be handy for us

[Allgunsblazin]

Has to be one of the best transfer windows for over God knows how many years, just for getting rid of below average and getting good players in, Sanchez obviously excluded but he was never a happy soul with a lot of frustration!....
I feel a change coming!.....

[GranadaJoe]

The paranoid part of me is wondering if the Chavs are dangling Batshuayi to Dortmund and buying Giroud just to pull the rug away at the eleventh hour and screwing up our deal for Aubameyang (just when I've learned to spell his name).

[SteveO 35]

Strange - I hadn't heard for the past month about the Spuds signing Lucas Moura, or West Brom taking Sturridge on loan, or City signing Laporte.....all 3 seem to have been revealed and completed very quickly. How very odd - don't they all realise that it takes 30 days to get these things over the line

[northbank123]

If Giroud won’t go to Dortmund it’s a testament to how much we’re overpaying him. Last chance at a World Cup which if he stays on our bench (or Chelsea’s for that matter) he will be severely limiting his chances of getting significant game time. The reality that we pay him twice as much as anybody else in world football would consider manages to make it a tricky decision.

Sticking around and fucking up this deal would summarise the career of a forward who is massively limited at this level yet who was protected as our sole striker for 4 years with Wenger passing up the chance to sign Higuain. Hugely detrimental to the club yet it’s really the club’s fault not his. He’s just another player who’s won the footballing lottery.

[Allgunsblazin]

It's all down to making a transfer as difficult as Arsene can....

We want Aubagangbang!
BD want Giroud
Giroud wants to stay in London as he loves the Swinging lifestyle set!
Chelsea want Giroud
Chelsea offer Batman to BD
Batman not keen on move to BD
Enter Tottenham to take Batman.....

strange situation where deal is agreed then at the 11th hour find out BD want a replacement first......is this how they do multi million pound deals

Have they no internal solutions?
