[Greenisland Bear]

Would score bucket loads up here but unless it was on loan, I couldn;t see it happening.

 

[Ozgers182]

Giroud = RVP
Bullshit rumour, not a chance.

 

[YoungGer97]

Not happening unless Alfie is offski

 

[Jjbscotty]

Genuinely would take him

 

[evo14]

What a signing that would be, doubt it’d happen though.

 

[Mview83]

Defoe going then?

 

[Barry]

It’s a no from me. Never liked him.

 

[mark hateley]

Is he an upgrade? Probably not.

Is he a threat to McGregor? Probably.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Hmmmm. Can’t see Morelos, Defoe and Giroud being happy competing for a single starting slot. I’m not buying into this one, need to hear where L’Equipe are getting it from.

 

[KinkyAfro]

Smashing player.

Would love it but canny see him warming the bench for us.

 

[SuperGers07]

Not a chance man

 

[RFC1976]

Not happening unless Alfie is offski

that was my initial thought only wayit would happen is if Morelos was sold and after everyone shouting from the roof tops last year not a chance we could get Defoe well I will just wait and see

 

[Borna]

Giroud would bring something completely different to the table that we currently don't have. That much is a certainty.

 

[As You Were]

Regardless of wether there is any truth or not, there is people saying no.

To Giroud. Wow.

 

[cooprfc]

Contract up in the summer?

If so, it could be planning ahead for cashing in on Alfredo.

 

[Davie Weir]

Pre contract deal for next season?

His contract is up in the summer

 

[Yer da]

Genuinely wouldn’t take him.

You wouldn't take France's main striker? Not that I'm saying it's 100% happening, but c'mon to %^*& squire

 

[Big Buff]

Can’t remember the last time I read a L’Equipe transfer rumour that actually happened tbh. Dembele to Lyon maybe

 

[Borna]

Regardless of wether there is any truth or not, there is people saying no.

To Giroud. Wow.

Bonkers mate.

 

[cooprfc]

Regardless of wether there is any truth or not, there is people saying no.

To Giroud. Wow.

The guy won the World Cup last year!

 

[Polar bear]

If only it were true,I would take him in a flash.
Very underrated imo.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Intresting

 

[HenningBerg]

Madness . On so many levels . Girouds wages must be 100k a week

 

[GF7]

We would need to pay him a fortune and I am not sure it would it be anything of an upgrade.

Cannot see this being remotely true, even if it were to mean Morelos going to Chelsea in a player + cash scenario. I would want 25 million plus Giroud minimum.

 

[The Underfaker]

People saying no to Giroud on here have had too much Xmas spice.

 

[RR83]

L’Equipe.

Bill Young is a more reliable source FFS.

 

[Hagi9uk]

Giroud would be an exceptional signing and anyone thinking different is bat shit crazy.

 

[Danger Zone]

1) it won’t happen

2) anyone saying they wouldn’t take him needs to lay aff the eggnog

 

[archimedes]

In before it's proven to be bullshit

 

[Now and forever]

The question would be would you be happy losing Alfie and replacing him with Giroud?

 

[DocMartens]

Definitely uses some quality men's grooming products..

 

[dublinbear]

Would that mean we had signed 2 French World Cup winning strikers, neither of whom scored a goal on the way to France winning the WC?

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

Even if we don’t get him it’s absolutely brilliant to see us looking for players like him when we had absolute shite a couple seasons ago.

 

[Borna]

The question would be would you be happy losing Alfie and replacing him with Giroud?

I wouldn't be "happy" but it's inevitable that Alfie is going to leave at some point, and I think Giroud would be an adequate replacement for him.

Not to mention the other areas we'd be able to strengthen the squad with the rest of the money.

 

[Gordon1951]

 

[Graemelins]

Defoe going then?

My first thought too.

 

[Jan Žižka]

The guy won the World Cup last year!

Stéphane Guivarc'h

 

[Wade Wilson]

Olivier Giroud as our 3rd choice striker.

We've come a long way from Francisco Sandaza...

 

[Kirbys House]

He's not leaving Chelsea's bench to come & sit on ours so wouldn't happen unless Alfie was away.

Can't see it but I also said that about Defoe this time last year.

 

[Prestwichbear]

I have a large collection of butt-plugs

 

[Toyota blue]

We would need to bring back Joey Barton to interpret for us

 

[AllyAdair]

Handsome World Cup winning bastard, oh go on then.

 

[Corporal Clegg]

One reason I know it's shite is that he'd lose his international place. You know how snobby the French are.

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

Remember when everyone said Defoe wouldn’t come etc and people underestimated the pull of a footballing icon such as Gerrard?

 

[Gordon1951]

Giroud is a donkey.

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

Alfie could play with Giroud.

Potent #56

 

[BWO]

Taken pelters on here for years for saying we shouldn’t sign French players, they haven’t got the heart for Scottish football.
It’s a hard pass from me

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Interesting one but i cant see it without Alfie being sold or Defoe going back to Bournemouth for a few reasons

 

[Corporal Clegg]

Stephane Guivarc'h being the prime example.
