Olivier Giroud 11:40 - May 6 with 4387 views | Zut_Alors | Rumours of him leaving Arsenal. Could get pelters on here for this, but I think he'd be an excellent signing if we went for him. His games not built on speed and so, at 29, he's got a good few years left. His ball control is fantastic and offers a Bony type option in the air, both when attacking and defending. Ok he's not prolific but he is a proven PL scorer. | | | | |

You would think so. Agree he would be an excellent signing. | | | |
Olivier Giroud on 12:05 - May 6 with 4317 views | Brynmill_Jack | It's going to be Gomis esqe though, free transfer, big wages and signing on fee. Not sure TBH | |

Olivier Giroud on 12:09 - May 6 with 4298 views | TheKirkyLife | Another loan option me thinks? Unless we could get him for £15 million. I'd take him though absolutely. | | | |

The biggest problem with Gomis is he can't cut it at PL level. His wages just compound that. You wouldn't have that issue with Giroud. Agree it would be a bank buster though and probably not feasible anyway. | | | |

Olivier Giroud on 12:37 - May 6 with 4209 views | Joe_bradshaw | Prefer Bony for what would possibly be a similar fee and wages. | |

So would I. And I guess the vast majority on here. If Bony is available and within our budget he has to be the best option. | | | |

That's with the players he is playing with. Do you think he would keep that ratio up playing with us? If Arsenal had a top striker they would be winning the title this season. Unfortunately for them they have him. | | | |
Olivier Giroud on 13:11 - May 6 with 4087 views | Cooperman | More than good enough for us, but a tad on the pricey side I fear. We can do as good for less I feel. | |
| |
Olivier Giroud on 13:18 - May 6 with 4059 views | jasper_T | One of his major issues is that he doesn't handle pressure particularly well, which is a problem when you play for a side like Arsenal. "Flappyhandski" responded well to the step down (and better coaching until we brought Tony in). | | | |
Olivier Giroud on 13:24 - May 6 with 4045 views | tomdickharry | Good player who's best days are possibly behind him,don't think he could play the loan striker role in our team as well as Bony who to me is a must must signing. | | | |

but he's not garbage is he? he'd walk into our current team | |

That didn't really work out for Wilf. | | | |

With the big money about next season we've got to spend big for a decent striker to stay in the league. Wilf won't be at City under Guardiola so let's go for it. We must compete or go down. | | | |

This season he is on one in 3 with 12 goals, along with Sanchez, so still not bad. Not quite as good as Defoe. But he also has 5 assists as well. | | | |
Olivier Giroud on 15:26 - May 6 with 3806 views | jasper_T | He'd have more space to play with us than at Arsenal, against whom teams sit deep and defend narrow. I agree that we can and should push the boat out for a new striker with the increased TV money coming in, but Giroud is on £100k a week at Arsenal and we're not in a position to match that kind of spending. | | | |

I like Giroud but no-one is going to win a Champions League with him leading the attack - which is why I don't understand Wenger's loyalty. His goal record is impressive, but when you have Ozil, Carzola and Sanchez putting it on a plate for you, then most of us would manage at least a couple!! That said, at our level, he would be a great signing - but there is no way he will come to us. He has a very high opinion of his own ability, apparently, so I can't see him dropping out of the Champions League. So, he would probably go abroad. | | | |

I agree. Facile argument as no chance at all of him coming here. | | | |

Who's to say Gomis wouldn't have scored a hat full in that Arsenal side? | |
