Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

Basically we hold all the cards, if we sell Giroud to Chelsea, then Batshit can replace Auba and everyone is happy.

We paid 12m for Giroud (i know it was a long time ago but still) and Chelsea have offered 18m, which isnt bad for a second choice (3rd choice if Auba comes) striker.

Only we can manage to shoot ourselves in the foot whilst making a world class signing

We do also have to remember, that there is clearly more going on behind the scenes than we are being told.

I'm sure it will all fall into place as its technically 3 players that want to move.


Other clubs are just starting to observe the waiting period

We shouldnt be strengthening another rival.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Agreed.

I would rather keep Giroud and tell Dortmund to take the money and worry about their replacement on their own time. They have players anyway as they have managed to play with Auba a few times already.

But that aint gonna happen.

Crazy stuff. This season alone, if we sell Giroud to Chelsea, we'd have sold our top 3 goal scorers to rival English clubs.

We could have avoided this Giroud situation... but surely those critical of Sanchez for moving to Man Utd have to hold Giroud to the same standard. It's worse because Giroud had a choice between Dortmund and Chelsea from the sounds of it and he's choosing Chelsea despite the fact that he may be on the bench there as well.

It's not the same situation at all. Not even close. Come on.

[Özim]

If someone does sign him they have this to look forward to

I didn't say it was the same situation. I'm saying those critical of Sanchez moving to Utd should probably hold the same stance for Giroud. To me, it looks worse. If Giroud is moving for first team football, why move to Chelsea instead of Dortmund?

You forgot the part where his missus ruled out moving to Dortmund.
