PieFacE Posted January 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2020 I like Giroud but he isn't exactly going to run down channels and press a back line. Need more than him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Just had a look at Giroud's premier league record on transfermarkt, if the information on there is correct then it's much better than I thought, according to that site in terms of minutes in the premier league he's played the equivalent of 143 games, and in that time scored 78 goals and assisted another 32 goals...

siminjo Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 4 minutes ago, VillaChris said: Giroud is magnificent holding the ball up so really comparing him to Wes who is still inexperience at this level is a bit silly. It sticks more upfront and so Jack can link up more with the CF than he's done so far this season. Giroud also makes good near and far post runs on crosses (see his goal in europa league final) so again I'm hopeful we'd see improvement in that area as again Wes is just to static in those situations. I also a quicker wider player who can also play centrally will also be signed so that should improve our counter attack ability. If you look at the opposition he scored against, they are not exactly great teams, bar Arsenal in the final. Yes i agree he is better than Wesley at holding the ball up, but i fear he is a lot slower, and just look at how bad Chelsea was when they relied on Giroud against West Ham.

Elton Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I don’t think Giroud is cup tied for the league cup, so that may add an extra incentive to get him to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not. Was an unused sub in one game. If he's up for the move then I think he'd be ideal. Apart from providing a focal point to our attack he'd bring with him a host of experience that we're otherwise lacking in our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnock1984 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Giroud would be an excellent bit of business. Cebu Tosun could be a good second piece of business too if we can’t get Giroud. Was an excellent player before he went to Everton. Jarrod Bowen should be the first one we go after! Bowen Grealish Giroud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rodders0223 Posted January 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2020 We would be honoured to get a player of Giroud's class here for a relegation battle. People turning their noses up at him. He couldn't run 10 years ago, he can barely jog now. He would still be the 2nd best player in the squad....by some distance. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't going to secure a better deal and he isn't a youngster that needs games. If he cannot get in at Stoke then quite frankly, tough shit.

Yeah we both did, honestly not seen more than highlights and read some articles. Any idea what they are asking for him? Edit: Apparently only has 18 months left on his contract but Liverpool are seeing him as a perfect back up to Robinson so...
