Don't be silly now. Giroud is the level of backup we're supposed to have for Robin, not a replacement.

Don Pacifico

You're both silly.

How often do we replace departing players with superior personnel?
Any money made on VP's sale will go towards buying multiple players rather than one top player.

Gazza M

it's such a crap policy. having 1 outstanding individual is better than having 3 average ones. hopefully these "changes" to the wage structure ivan mentioned will slant us towards buying/retaining the former again.

Mirth

We've never operated like that.

Burnwinter

Be real anyway, there isn't a single player we could sign who would emulate Van Persie's 2011-2012. It'd have to be a Messi or Ronaldo level signing to get those 30+ goals in the PL.

CitizenNo9

Even RVP won't emulate Van Persie's 2011-2012.

Burnwinter

Exactly.

Captain

Was more just 2011...

spacemanspiff

and the second half of 2010

Timbob

And the first half of 2012....

Captain

His insane scoring rate was pretty much exclusively in 2011. Then it went back to 'normal'.

Anyway, Telegraph says announcement within 48hrs on this one.

Doc

Pointless signing... we dont know how to play with a target man & even if we did ths one isnt that good, would rather we signed a poacher ala Eduardo

Captain

Well, he did just score a bucketload in France.

Pointless signing, I should smack you through the internet anything that can get rid of Chamakh, give RVP a rest and also give him some decent competition for the starting postion at CF is OK in my book.

I think Giroud will be a great option for us. It's been ages since we've had a truly powerful striker who is direct and not a pansy

It was still insane, just not quite as insane as before.

We havn't had a decent target man since Adebayor, and when he could be arsed he was quality for us.

No opinion on Giroud cos i've barely seen him, but we are crying out for a physical forward who is good in the air. Good target men can transform teams but they are hard to find.

Doc

Hey im all for getting rid of Chamakh, but we would just be bringing in a better target man.. No point, that style just doesnt work for us imo. If a strikers technique isnt up to scratch he wont make it here. Doesnt seem mobile enough either..

@[deleted] - dont think he would get anywere near those figures here

seems more likely that RvP is leaving aswell & if this guy is first choice things could get ugly...

Timbo. Good website you can use to judge a player

Good find. Might give up watching games now and just use this 'yutoob' thingy.
