Giroud's hold up and link up play is fantastic
But for what. Higuain also have a good link up play. The problem last year was Dybala cant play very wide as winger. He suitable to play as SS or ST in the center.

Giroud is older, goal records is worse, and need to adapt to Italian Football

Financially we also worse with Giroud deal. We already paid Higuain 2.5 m if true. Then loss 18m in balance sheet. While we must pay Chelsea 5m + Net 4.5m (Gross?), plus Giroud amortization if 2 year contract, it means 2.5m/year. If we dont count the amortization it would be 2.5 + 5 + 4.5 = 12m. vs 7.5 m for Higuain salary

With Higuain in the team, we only need to pay his salary 7.5m net (gross?) and 18m amortization in a full year

Its meaningless

Giroud reminds me of Alan Boksic: he was a good player but missed some incredible sitters.
Boksic was infinitely more talented than this poser French Fag.

He'll be a starter in Pirlo's Juventus I believe
Or atleast he'll get substantial gametime
A 34 year old mediocre striker should never be a starter for Juventus.

Would he start for City? Would he start for PSG? Would he star for Bayern, Real, Barca, or even fucking Chelsea or Dortmund? Absolutely not! He shouldn't be starting for us.

Yes but Higgy isn't a target man and his hold up is not as good. Plus we are looking at a rotation striker, who is OK with being a sub and can play/is a good fit with either Ronaldo or Dybala (or both in some games or when we chase a result). Ideally we get Dzeko, but other than him and Cavani, Giroud is probably the next best option in terms of profile/quality/cost (unless I forgot someone)

Anyone who says we should've kept Higuain or should bring back Mandzukic should be banned or laughed at or pebbled or something. Too ridiculous.

Ditto with anyone who thinks we'd sign Giroud as a starter.

hey guys, what about signing Pepe on loan?

i know before arsenal pepe. pepe didnt have best of seasons at arsenal, but pepe is good from before his time. pepe would give us needed depth in wing area.

i think pepe is good fit for us. esecially if we get pepe on loan. anyone else like pepe?
