Seen that mate. MLS teams interested and Deschamps has recommended he goes to Ligue 1.Having seen the full L'Equipe article, it's safe to say he's not coming.

I never said he wouldn’t improve the squad. I said he could be useful plan b. My caveat though is I go to Chelsea every other week and he isn’t getting a look in. Slow and ponderous this year and slows game down. In our current set up he wouldn’t work. Is he a very good player yes...no doubt. Would I want him as sub in no limits world...of course. In financial constrained world I would be worried about what giving up to have an expensive sub.I don’t think I can take anyone serious going forward if they think that Giroud won’t improve this team or is a shite player.

Hypothetical debate as it’s not happeningWe aren’t playing in the EPL.
If we signed Giroud he would not be a sub mate are you joking? This place is absolutely bonkers.
it’s not happening either way
He won the puscas award around 4 years ago for scoring the best goal of the year....
Agreed. Those 4 get pass marks, but there’s some real dross on that list!Vignal. Big part of the run in during 04/05.
Ok. Hypothetical. Him and Alfie could play together. They are more suited and he’s better suited to our system than Defoe.Hypothetical debate as it’s not happening
...so he starts. Who is dropped, and is that a better line up. My point was it requires a change in formation or Giroud starts over buff.
Let me ask you - when did you see him play cause he has so little game time for Chelsea who I see every other week. What is mental is not looking at overall picture.
So who is dropped. I see that is only way we play 2 up but he hasn’t worked for Chelsea this season in way they play which isn’t too dissimilar to us. But that’s a better debate than saying people are clueless. My opinion is based on how we play, having watched Giroud in his limited game time and seeing his ineffectiveness and how our team set up could flex . He wouldn’t work in straight swap for Alfie again in my opinion. He’s currently an epl striker who most weeks isn’t on bench....Ok. Hypothetical. Him and Alfie could play together.

He could come up here and score 2 a game, then what? He’s an EPL level striker there is absolutely no way he signs a hypothetical contract and sits on a hypothetical bench
l post a Giroud update at 5ish when I get back from the bridge.....So who is dropped.

He is a pick in front of French Eddy!!!Who’s he playing in front of?
I’ll reserve judgement until I establish his record with the U21’s
Thanks for letting me know.this French U21s patter is almost as bad as the “I think my sister is hot” pish
The folk saying he’s pish and wouldn’t take him. LOL.
Attention seeking or at it.
Poor man's Stephane Guivarc'h.You wouldn't take France's main striker? Not that I'm saying it's 100% happening, but c'mon to %^*& squire
remember the last world cup winning french stiriker we gotThe guy won the World Cup last year!
William StangerStephane Guivarc'h being the prime example.
Or the Papin sisters if we’re going French with a killer touch.Funk it lets get Papan in the mix or ever Jean Luke Picard.
We could be linked with Messi and we'd still have people on here saying they wouldn't sign him.I would love him to come up here so I can smear dugshite on my face.
And to all the crackpots saying he wouldnt add anything.....
Merry Christmas
So it's safe to get his name printed on the wee man's top?Steven Gerrard on Olivier Giroud reports: “I’m getting linked with some good players. I don’t know anything about it to be honest, but if someone knows something give them my number. It’s the first I’ve heard - good player though”.
His basic wage is £60k a week at Bournemouth and we are paying a part of that and he is lowering it to come here next season on permanent signing
Giroud would be a stunning signing but I just can't seeing it happening there is still a number of players motivated by money at that age
Can't see this being even remotely true, but every time I watch us play I can't help but ask myself what a taller more traditional type target man could do with all the great deliveries we put in from wide positions.
I know Alfie is good in the air for his size but I still would like a taller option. Waste of time crossing it for Defoe.
40k a week wages on a free transfer is circa £2m per year.
If a world class player was available for £6m for a three year deal including wages, what would you say ?
and shit !!!!!That’s because he’s about 21 or 22.
