If we do sign Giroud and get rid of Park, Bednter and Chamakh next season we will have a pool of 4 left footed strikers : Robin Van Persie, Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell I don't have a problem with that but there is a bit of an imbalance if we play with more than one striker which has happened a few times this season when we have been chasing games.

Yes could be a minor issue attacking the right side of the box as Podoloski is very one footed he is all left and RVP's right is not much better really. RVP has played well on the right side of mind before for Holland in cutting in onto his left, but it does kind of mean we will rely more heavly on the RB for width wide right for any crosses coming in.
Ideally you would want strikers that are capable on both feet but these types of strikers are quite rare.

^van persie has an awesome right foot
Agree0

Henry Bergkamp Wiltord Kanu all right footed and not a problem.
Arguablely the best squad strike force in the PL ever was Yorke Cole Sheringham Solskjaer and they were all right footed.
I dont care about if there all left footed as long as they score goals

Keep park then

All of man u main strikers are right footed, it really isn't a issue.

GIROUD is quite good with his right foot + van persie scored 10+ goals with his right foot this season, nothing to worry about
Agree0

No on is being realistic... How would we fit:
Giroud Podolski RVP Walcott Gervinho all into the same team?
Giroud could only be a replacement for RVP. Otherwise, that is 15mln to allocate to other areas of the squad.

Arsenal fans complain about having no strength in depth and then moan when we buy reinforcements in those areas. Look at the Milan game we had no options when legs got tired. Now Gervinho and possibly Giroud (tempting fate?) can both come from the bench and mix it up.
In Arsene I Trust.

We are going for Thomas Muller of Bayern Munich. Believe what you want.

Can't see Arsenal paying the fee Bayern would want.

I will believe what I want and I sure as heck don't believe that. It's very rare for German stars to leave Bayern. Why would they? It's like top English players moving abroad. It hardly ever happens.

Very unlikely, few German players would willing leave Beryern Munich or Dortmund for that matter and Arsenal is not exactly a step up from them really is it. Fringe players yes may move but not integral first teamers like Muller.

Ben will be wrong AGAIN
Agree0
Disagree0
To put it simply... There is no chance at all!
Agree0

Whilst I don't believe this to be true at all, the origin of this rumour is because it is said muller is unhappy being second fiddle to Kroos who has taken his starting place.

Why not give it a bash? He says if he continues as a sub he wants to leave. I'd like to see the club at least try a wee 15 mil bid for him. I don't see us getting him but why not try!?!

Not a chance... Podolski, theo, ox, gerv and miyaichi after another years loan stint, we don't need any more wide players! Plus as already stated German stars don't leave Bayern Munich.

I don't rate him that much.

Ben, put some money where your mouth is - Muller is 20/1 to join Arsenal on skybet.
KJ
Agree0

There could be something in it..although unlikely as he said last week or his agent..forget which..that Inter Milan is a possibility and a great club!
There not even in the Champs League and with us offering that and having Podolski, Mert and Einsfield and Holtby on his way in the next year or so...he could see Arsenal as a home from home! Lol
You never know! I'd say 35-45% chance of happening.

Good reserve for sagna

Debuchy looked really good. Will be a good signing.

With Sagna missing the start of the season, I don't fancy relying on Jenkinson. He'd be a good reserve and would challenge Sagna for the first team spot.
Mike
Agree0

Think he would be the perfect signing for right back as he would learn from sanga whilst jenkinson is on loan then will be top drawer by the time sanga retires.

I'd love to see a bid for the Italian rb maggio from Napoli, looked class and very dangerous getting forward.

And once Sagna is fit...

Don't be daft. To get into the French team he has to be first choice with his club. He isn't going to move here and compete with Sagna at Arsenal and for the national team

From Christian Eriksen on Vertonghen
"He is a brilliant signing for Tottenham and a really, really good player. He is too good for the Dutch league now. It's too easy for him and it's the right time for him to leave," said the Danish international.
"He is the best player in Holland and has all the skills that will make him a success in the Premier League. He is good with and without the ball, he is physically strong and he's a leader for the team.
"From what I see, Tottenham like to play good football so I think he will be a perfect signing for them. I know there was interest from other clubs but he made up his mind. I'm sad to see him leave Ajax but it's a good transfer for him."
Sounds like a done deal, off to spurs

Chelsea payed around £18m for Lukaku last summer. Giroud's buy out clause is 12m I believe, sounds like complete bull.
Ben X.

Media BS lukaku who cos Chelsea £17mil last season some how I find it hard to believe. Giroud has already said money is not a motivation for him. Realistically would he get a game in chelsea team week in week out with all the forwards they have??
Agree0
Disagree0
It's media bs
Agree0
Disagree0
Why would they need him, they would have too many attacking players to all get a chance, especially with new signing they would have torress, sturridge, hazard, hulk (if he signs), mata, malouda, lukaku and other signing to come in, also, they have other midfielders who can fill in a bit further up.

There was a report from Radio Monte Carlo last night that stated that Arsenal were about to open negotiations with Montpellier over Giroud.
The same report mentioned that Montpellier would prefer to deal with either Arsenal or Chelsea and to take Chamakh or Lukaku (depending on which team they did eventually deal with) in return.

Lukaku is off to Werder Bremen as part of the Marko Marin deal anyway.

Lukaku would be given to them on loan, Torres is thier only real central striker so it could make sense
