I never knew that....hmmm. Sounds like a reason to stir waters. I don't think he would want to leave, but that doesn't mean he can under no circumstances be persuaded to. It's a world cup year, but Spain have gone through some effort to make sure he can play for them. It's likely he will make that squad failing an almighty incredible turn of events.Quote:

Remy has been in good form this season but he still has that rape charge hanging over him. Until that's resolved, I don't think we can consider him.
Podolski and Walcott have scored more than most of those you mention. Arsenal were one of the teams that relied most on our wide attackers to score last season.Quote:

I truly believe, if given the chance in a big club as a striker, we would see the same kind of development that Diego Costa is going through right now.
Always really liked Giuseppe Rossi and just found out he is the top scorer over in Italy with 13 in 16 league games. I know he's small but I'd welcome him with open arms.
Giroud works as hard as anyone in the league, wins most balls, challenges for everything, brings the midfield into play and his one touch flicks often put players through on goal leaving the opposition defence ball watching, not to mention his goal scoring which is not bad this season, a goal every couple of games.Quote:
