Aubameyang

Rumour has it Wenger suggested Lemar and Sven gave him a big ol’slap

Gazza M

nice to see gazidis rolling with a deeper, younger squad

dick law, bless his heart, seemed a bit long in the tooth for the wiles of modern football

Didn't know Bellerin made music.

Kicker saying that Giroud will go the other way on a 6-month loan 🙁

GooneriC

That's not a good deal for us. We will need Giroud.

Anfield1884

Don't allow Giroud to go. You need a target man.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I agree. Otherwise, Welbeck will move up the CF pecking order 🙁

Giroud barely got to play without Aubameyang. If we sign him, I don't think we need Giroud, though I like him a lot.

Qwiss

If we have Aubameyang and Lacazette then Giroud needs to leave. I'd be sad to see him go but I don't want to see him rot on the bench either.

Keeping Giroud as 3rd choice would be daft. Playing 20 mins each month is a role reserved for kids like Nketiah, not for an international looking to start for France at the world cup in the summer.

Besides, his level has dropped significantly since taking the bit part role. He'll be of no use to us.

USArsenal

Honestly, the only reason Giroud would need to go was to guarantee a spot on the French national team for this summer, which I actually don't think is something he really needs to worry about regardless what people say. He will be in the squad as long as he's fit. I would prefer it if he didn't leave, since he's still our plan B, even if Aub comes (IMO)

goon

Don't get me started on the concept of a plan b! The idea that you need one is one of the biggest myths perpetuated in football imo.

Herbas

If Giroud is going, then it surely means that we won't play two upfront? If so, Laca is going to be benched or played as winger which is... ahem... not ideal.

QuincyAbeyie

Who says we need to play the same way no matter who are available? We should be flexible.

All we need now is a pic of Gazidis and Aubameyang in a rollercoaster...

Reminds me of the Arshavin deal.

Really would love getting him, been awhile since I got excited by who we signed.

goon

Sorry boys I'm out of the photoshop business.

I've long thought Alexis' role should be more like a forward/striker anyway. So what would start out as a 4-2-3-1 should evolve into a 4-2-2-2 when we have the ball.

oh, i dont know about that. considering the amount of goals Giroud has scored after coming on as a sub in the past season and a half, i would say its not exactly a myth.. maybe if you consider it a tactical switch for a large target man who can score goals in and around the box, that's reason enough IMO to keep him

goon

Circumstantial evidence in my opinion, who's to say it's not just because we brought on a good striker? We and plenty of other teams have scored late goals without changing style.

I feel like if you think you need a plan b then what you really need is to improve plan a. Nobody ever says the very best teams need a plan b.

Qwiss

I like having a plan B. If you've played 70 minutes of ball on the floor and can't break through throwing on a big man and getting the ball into the box at head height is a great option.
