Giroud to Chelsea for 15mil according to various newspapers I can't believe we're contemplating selling to Chelsea.

For that amount is just crazy.

Its probably so that Chelsea will sell Batshuayi to Dortmund and Aubameyang will join us.

Giroud has never been a big game player, decent business in my opinion. If we were buying him, I think we would all be a bit p**sed off.

That price for a 31 year old isn't too bad. When you consider how little he plays. However to Chelsea for that amount is stupid business.

Why? Why are we doing this? Maybe they'll take Welbeck instead?

Why are we doing this? Because we are set to land Aubameyang from it maybe that’s why. Don’t get me wrong I love Giroud and think he’s been a diamond with all the stick he gets but let’s be realistic, Aubameyang or keep Giroud? If you say Giroud, you’re off your nut 🥜.

Is David Luiz the reason.

@Steve r - I hope so. Luiz in a back three would be a good fit, or as a DM.

15mil plus a rumoured £140k a week off the wage bill for a 31 year old plan B, good business in my opinion.

Giroud has no pace, we can keep til he's 35, and he'll still be good.

Yeah in todays market that is way below a fair price for a international strtiker Giroud (25m-30M is about right) but if it means getting the Aubameyang deal over the line then it needs to be done. Chelsea no doubt using this against us to get a cheap deal and Giroud needs to play more regular to secure that world cup place, although I question weather he would get more game time at Chelsea tbh? Sounds like Giroud does not fancy moving to Germany.

{Ed001's Note - to be fair, they did sell you Cech on a decent price (though he has not looked himself since that is hardly their fault), so you can't really complain about doing the same in return.}
