Don't know if I could stand his trademark celebration if he were to score for us, yuck !

If he does it 30 times for us next season I guess I could live with it.

Telegraph and mirror recently reporting this and also a journo from reliable spanish media Cadena Ser.

I wanted us to go for him right after Higuain. Would pay upto 30 mil for him as I reckon he'll be a big success here.
The problem is there is too little time left for Laudrup to bring in a replacement.

Wouldnt pay more than £10m for him. Midtable player who just surprised everyone. Will struggle in his second season with Swansea and wouldnt displace Giroud for us.

Swansea have already bought two attackers havent they ?

That's what I fear.

We need numbers more than anything though. However, I'd much prefer Benteke if we're going for one of the "lesser" strikers.

Giroud will do better than him this season.

michu would be an extremely underwhelming signing. should have gone for higauin instead then.

I don't believe for a minute that we're going to sign Michu

I would like Michu very much. Superior player to Giroud both on and off the ball.

Me neither. Usual bullshit from the usual rags. They simply have no clue so they started rehashing the names.

doesn't say much though tbh...

No, it doesn't say much to be fair.

Like I said earlier in this thread though, I want a striker who's strong off the ball and Michu fits the bill for me. He's got decent holdup play, finish and technique too. We could get a little combination play going again, a bit of movement in and around the box. Michu could probably score 20 league goals in a team like Arsenal and he wouldn't screw up half as many attacks as Giroud does. He's not a 'great' player but he's a good one. Someone who would actually improve the team.

Versatile too, could play at 10.

He'd be a solid signing, but underwhelming nonetheless.

He's a good player but I'm not all that sold on Michu.

At this point I'd take him because we sorely lack depth. We'll probably be charged over 20m for him though.

Will he catapult us to a title challenge? Not even close.

Fuck Yes, my first choice if we can't get Suarez.

Prefer Benteke.
