I'm not saying he's awful, just wondering if he's suited to our way of playing. We may be better with Giroud for half a season.
Happy with Giroud  for the first half of the season.

Batshuayi is a very similar player to tammy from what i have seen. He is strong big and can score. Think that might be one of the reasons chelsea would let him go.

Get him on loan with option to buy in summer.  He did very well at palace last year.

Do we really want to sign a player with a surname that difficult to spell correctly? Some of our fans had enough trouble with Kozak. 

Kozak? People couldn't get Ciaran Clarke right

He broke Kozak’s leg

We need a striker ASAP

Batshuayi fits the job description for me. Get him!

We need two strikers, not just the one.

Amazed Bowen didn't move in the summer and much as i hope we entice him here, i just can't see Hull letting him go whilst they have a chance of he play offs. I suppose if their form goes in  the next few weeks and they find themselves adrift at theend of the window they might be tempted but even then, it's going to take a sizable bid imo. Another i really like the look of is Eze at QPR but I can see him going to someone bigger than us.

Why not both?
With Wes being out for the season we need someone in asap and up to speed. Add in another backup striker, get rid of Kodjia and get a creative midfielder in as well. When is Davis back fit?

I can't see Chelsea loaning us both of them, if that's what you meant. Benteke would fit into that system we played yesterday but it would be a risk.

I have always rated Giroud, I think he is a top,top  quality striker.
I wonder if he would give up the bright lights of London though. For no obvious reason, I suspect he is might be tied to that place.

I really rate him, think his build up play at Palace was one of his better attributes. He had a really positive impact and linked up well with their best players.

I'm sure he'll love playing with Jack

Eze is a year or 2 away from being looked at by top half clubs. Potentially a very good player though, he'd be above Bowen on my list from the championship.

Giroud is a good player but has the same problem as Lansbury in that he will do something good and then admire it for a minute or two. My mate is big Arsenal fan and he thought Giroud was their weak link for ages because he was just a highlights player.

I'm sure Tammy will have a few decent things to say about the club as well.

Doesn’t score enough for  me.

He doesn’t score that many but he’s a Wesley kind of player, albeit probably a better one, which suggests he will slot in easily.
