Giroud update
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895
West Ham have established that Olivier Giroud is keen to leave Arsenal and are ready to talk to the player once they get the nod .
The Hammers have also discovered that personal terms of around £100k a week will be required plus a transfer fee of around £20 million for the 30 year old who they would sign on a four year deal.
That would push the finances up to around £37 million for the player who has scored 16 goals for Arsenal in 38 appearances for Arsenal last season.
Giroud wants a permanent move away from the Emirates in favour of more regular playing time and the Hammers are keen to make it happen.
Serious talks between agents have already been held and Giroud sees the London Stadium as an ideal destination.
There is no way of the club recouping any serious sell on fee with the player’s age an inhibiting factor but he is seen as a top target with a goals record of over one in two during his time in north London

My thoughts are that he'd never join us and that this is made-up.

Would be the best striker we have had for many a year.

I can't believe anyone with an ounce of sense would say no to him, but this is WHO so who knows?
Didn't he finish with the best goals to minutes ratio for a player last season?
There's no chance we'd get him.

Very good goalscorer, very expensive, shame he's 30.
But it's not my money and it would be nice to have a forward who is available occasionally. So yes, why not.
In fact, I'd like us to sign any of the targets that previous years would suggest we will not get anywhere near -- Ianacho, Batshuayi etc...

The Man seems to know where the back of the net is.

100% if the price is right.
If he was a little younger I'd pull out all the stops as he knows where the goal is.
A massive improvement on what we've got and someone who comes with Premier League experience.
He could potentially score 20+ goals if he was our main striker.

Kane might have beat him actually, with his late flourish.

Only if he scores with a scorpion kick in his first three games

Aside from that he's fitter more often, I don't see a player in Giroud who offers a great deal more than Carroll.
He'll get a lot less goalscoring chances at West Ham than Arsenal and seems a man reliant on good service, so how many will he actually score for us?

He offers much more than Carroll. Firstly he is fit to play, secondly his technique is superior to Carroll.

So a three game loan with an option to buy then?
El Scorchio
Being often fit is a world of difference to Carrol.

I think he'd suit us. A proper CF. Decent on the deck and in the air. Better than all the strikers we have, or had in recent years.

" I don't see a player in Giroud who offers a great deal more than Carroll"
really? Giroud is vastly superior in almost every dept. Carroll might be better in the air, but lets be honest thats all hes got.
Giroud scroes all types of goals on a regular basis.
and he's way better looking ;)

I'd have him whatever he costs - it's not my money.
All I want is someone who can score and is not always injured. If it means Sully has to wrench some money out of his tightly-puckered midget arsehole then so much the better.
