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.

Doesn’t score enough for  me.

He scores too many for my liking. Absolutely sick of celebrating goals only to have them disallowed ten minutes later, and a bloke who likes scoring will only add to the problem. I'd like to see us bring Hogan back.

I can't see Chelsea loaning us both of them, if that's what you meant.

Neither can I as the rules don't allow it ;)

If bats isnt really interested id move on. Mitrovic is my preferred option. Scores and proven at pl level. Fulham are not guranteed promotion either.

Id also look at joe allen at stoke for cover for mcginn.

Mitrovic would be great, sure, but would surely cost us a fortune.

If we couldn't afford 20m for Maupay, there's no way we're blowing 25+ on Mitrovic.

Depends when Steer is due back. If by the end of January then we don't need another really. Steer, Nyland, Kalinic (not to mention the 'young' lad Sarkic as back-up) -- at some point you have to make do. Can't keep signing 2 new goalkeepers every single season, particularly when there are issues elsewhere in the squad and funds are tight.

I'd sign a keeper. Gambling our Premier League future on Nyland doesn't seem particularly wise. I guess we can give him the cup games and Man City and see how he does.

Not entirely sure what proven Premier League goalkeepers are available however.

Nyland has looked good in his cameos. It’s worth noting he struggled behind completely different centre halves in the Championship, plus he was new to the country.

Well hardly anyone thought we didn't need to replace him with Heaton in the summer, except probably me, as i thought Steer could do a job. Looks like we will need someone in now, particularly if Kalinic goes out on loan. Fuck the Batman if he's dithering on a move. We need to act quickly and recruit people who unequivocally want to be here.

I'd say that Kalinic could well still leave this window and we'll then recall Sarkic.

Its a huge gamble sticking with nyland only. He looked hopeless a majority of last year. Also he had big injury so we need to be very careful. When is steer back?
