Lately he doesn’t seem to score goals.

He would at least be something to aim our crosses at and a focal point.

We are starting games with a winger playing as a striker, yet some are extolling the virtues of a bloke who’s won a World Cup amongst many other trophies, and will very likely be playing up top for France in the coming Euros. Reality calling.

I think it's fair to question a centre forward who while playing for two of the top teams in the league who presumably create loads of chances, has managed 9 goals in 61 Premier League games in the last three years or to put it another way, 1 goal every (nearly) 7 games.

If he manages that for us, he'll have 2 goals before the end of the season. Not saying he's a bad player, clearly he's not. But is another non-scoring striker really what we need?
And he’s slow.   We need pace.

Not sold on Giroud. Good player but getting on and what’s his motivation like, where’s his head at for a relegation battle.

If he wants to play in the Euros he’ll have motivation. He’s a good player and could bring other players into the game.

Beggars can't be choosers!

Giroud has vast top level experience which could prove absolutely vital for us, if only perhaps to take some pressure off the other players!

It's a risk but that's where we are.

Good source says we are making progress with Bowen. Be happy with that to supply the ammo.


Apparently we are back in for Giroud and are doing everything possible to resurrect the deal.

Yes apparently....
What's your silence on the Bowen move ?
Now spreading Giroud rumours ?

He's usually a sub, how many of those 61 games were starts?  I'd be surprised if it was more than half.

Giroud isn't coming so everyone can calm the heck down
He's going to Inter Milan .
I'll be right on things yet again.
But always hold hands up if I'm wrong and never make claims on anything.




If you turn out to have been a bot from St. Petersburg all along, Skillz, I'm going to feel really daft.

You can see why Putin wanted to bring us down.

Thanks for the heads up. I have a bit of a thing for the woman two doors down so I now know I have about an hour to carry on looking through her letterbox without getting into trouble  ;)

From the BBC Sport football gossip page:  "Leicester and Aston Villa are targeting French striker Serhou Guirassy, 23, from Ligue 1 side Amiens in January."
