Hope this is alright for the banter pages. But with Arsenal so keen to sell to their rvials does anyone else think Giroud would be a random but maybe brilliant signing. I've never understood how someone who scores so much when he plays and has a lot of qualities is just not rated.
He would definitely give us a different option, good in the air and for when teams camp out in the box, and target man capable of neat one twos and flicks for firmino, salah and mane could be an answer.

I'd take him, he's used to being sub, and that's what he'd be.

i think we had his type before (Benteke) and that didn't go so well, he's not a KLopp player imo.

Wegot, difference being Giroud actually runs, has better technical ability than he’s given credit for and is always likely to get a goal off the bench. He would be second choice though.

Yeah Wegotosalah, let's redo that experiment again and hopefully, we can get a different outcome.

just a thought. And it would be more to get that extra bit of everything on the pitch when we need it. i know he wouldn't be all that suited to the games we counter with electrifying pace, but more often we actually get the ball back and then have to try break down a sitting defence with short quick passes (or slow laboured on the off days) . Giroud is very good at holding the ball up and laying it off. Is a confident player. Let's remember when arsenal bought lacazette to replace him he was ahead of lacazette in the same French national team Comparing Giroud to Benteke. They are polar opposites. Giroud is proven quality striker who does it almost whenever he gets the chance. Benteke is. well he's Benteke.

I think Giroud would be ideal. He’s great in the air, technically good and links up well with other attackers. He would be a great option to bring on in games like the swansea and West Brom ones. Also his goal scoring record is very good for someone who doesn’t often start and he does have an impact of the bench.

It won’t happen though.

We could do with a defensive midfielder to protect the centre backs, in the mould of a Mascherano or a makelele.

Definitely would like to see Klavan starting instead of Matip as well.
