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

Clearly we're not having much joy looking elsewhere so right now I'd take Giroud.

I'd prefer Bowen to Giroud.

I think Bowen could be a summer move if we stay up. Giroud is by far the more proven player at the top level and will want to secure his place for France ahead of the Euro's.

Giroud would be an excellent signing, and is proven quality at this level.

Bowen is an expensive punt as no knowing how well he will step up. Would still like him to sign for us, but experience like Giroud is what the team needs. That and some muscle in midfield.

Giroud with Samatta in reserve or up top with him would be fantastic. It would also give us an edge for a few weeks as teams wouldn't know much about Samatta and how he plays.

Giroud is slow, does not like to get his hair dirty and has had about as much game time in the last couple of years as Drinky.

61 appearances since 2017. Just a few more than Drinkwater I think.
So, I’m guessing the rest of your statement is bollox as well?

It was a good way of finding out how many appearances he made thanks, do you know what shampoo he favors?

Presume Giroud would be on a 3 month deal with option and a massive bonus if he scores the goals to keep us up. He could still go to Italy afterwards.
It's a plan, of sorts.

He will want a proper contract at his age, probably a minimum of another year or two. With a cheap release if relegated

Reminds me a bit of when the Noses signed the previously goal-shy French striker Christophe Dugarry and he scored a few important goals for them in the run in.  He went back to being shite after that, probably when it dawned on him exactly where he was.

I can't get excited about the idea of Giroud. Not sure why, I mean at this stage any forward option is to be welcomed, but the idea just does nothing for me - especially on a full transfer.
