lots of stuff flying around the tabloids (i know, why would you listen to any of that crap?) that Giroud is off in the summer. could an Ed provide some clarity on the situation?

{Ed002's Note - It will just be speculation.}
Giroud may be off and although I love his attitude, he hasn't scored enough goals this season, has a distinct lack of pace and never scores individually created goals. I would love to see us sign Balotelli and Reus.

I would happily see the back of Giroud. He tries but he is not the striker we need to move forward to win the league.

So we need more options up front and your suggestion get rid of a experienced striker that has a proven record of scoring goals and then bring in another striker? We need quality in numbers so getting rid of him don't solve anything

Ed, will arsenal again try to buy draxler in summer or we have missed the chance to get him and what the news on morata heard few weeks ago that we have agreed personal terms with him. Thanks

{Ed002's Note - There have been offers and enquiries for Draxler. Both Milan clubs, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea have enquired at one level or another about Draxler - each has met a "not for sale" barrier. I expect he will move in the summer and Arsenal remains the most likely destination.
Morata has been dragging on from last summer when a number of clubs were interested in taking Morata on loan - this included CSKA and Arsenal. Real Madrid also thought that Liverpool would ask for Alvaro Morata as part of any transaction for Suarez but their focus has Suarez as probably only their third choice for a new striker. With a new striker arriving in the summer and Jese Rodriguez playing the way he is playing Morata will be available. It was clear that there was interest from Arsenal in January and that interest remains. There is also interest from Juventus and Dortmund. It will be a matter of agreeing a fee and probably providing asome assurances of game time. There was certainly no agreement over persdonal terms.}
