Good signing as long as he's not RVP's replacement. If Pod and this fella are in addition to RVP signing then I'm pretty excited.
A left back, goalie and a fit Wilshere and we're good to go.

Arsenal’s new signing Olivier Giroud has revealed that he turned down a move to Chelsea in order to complete the move to north London.
The Gunners yesterday announced the signing of the Frenchman, who scored 21 goals as former club Montpellier last season.
“The choice was between Chelsea and Arsenal. I chose Arsenal because of the club’s philosophy and stability,” he said.
“It is something that means a lot for me. I’ve always dreamed of playing in the Premier League and Arsenal are a great club with many French players.”

This has got to be one of the most classic transfer window quotes of all human history (or at least since GW started, whichever came first)Quote:

A complete anti-Nick we have here. Gives me a lot of confidence in the guy already, even though he's gay.
Tbf, no one at Arsenal bar Wenger knows who he is either and i wouldnt trust Wenger with signings from France anymore.
Sagna is the last decent one and that was 5 years ago
If we keep RvP then we'll have WAY too many attacking players surely?
RvP, Giroud, Podolski, Gervinho,Walcott, Chamberlain!
Thats six attackers.
its a very strange concept this but its called squad depthQuote:

OLIVIER GIROUD insists he has joined Arsenal to play with — and not replace — Robin van Persie.
The France striker completed a £12million move from French champions Montpellier yesterday.
He is the Gunners' second big-name signing of the summer following the £11m arrival of Lukas Podolski from Cologne last month.
And the fact manager Arsene Wenger has shelled out for two new strikers has left some fans fearing Van Persie could be heading for the Emirates exit door.
However, Giroud played down those fears by revealing he has been brought in to challenge the Dutch superstar for a starting spot.
He said: "When you make the decision to join a great club, you know there is already a great forward.
“I know what to expect. Van Persie is a fantastic player who was outstanding last season.
“He has been at Arsenal for eight years, I hope I will have time to adapt and improve. Anyway, I don’t go there to take his place.”
Giroud scored 21 goals in 36 league appearances as Montpellier claimed the French title last season.
Good luck with that
