Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

Djourou on twitter:

I just wanted to deny all what have been said in the press about my transfer. It isn't true at all. I have been at Arsenal since 10 years now and I m always commited to this club.

Sort of feel bad for him, a decent player and a decent guy, just not good enough for us and will never be a starter. Do hope he moves on.

Arsenal are in pole position to sign Montpellier forward Olivier Giroud, 25, according to his club coach Rene Girard.

Not true. . .I would say two months is about right for us to pluck up the courage to ask for a dance

Another example of Arsenal`s failed policies. 10 years and still crap. think back to the game at Barca in 2010 when we all felt the worst when he went off with an injury, He was then seen as our best available defender. Not hard when we had the fantasticSylvestre, closely followed later by the amazing Squillaci. He doesnt want to leave cos hes probably on 50k and no one in his right mind will pay him more than half that. Wenger......the last word when it comes to defenders and defending.

Nah.

Giroud can actually score goals.

Djourou is eligible for a testimonial soon

And while I think Giroud is a very decent player, I do fear that if him and Podolski come in it has to mean Van Persie is off. That said not sure who could sign him since the Spanish clubs don't need him and he won't move to an English club or Juventus.

He put the ball in the back of the net for us. If we can find someone to convert the chances we create, like he does, then we don't have a problem.

The real thing, is building on the foundations we started laying last year. Losing RVP would be hurtful, in the sense that we lose some of thise foundations, another captain, and reinforce the fact that we are a selling club....which in turn means it's harder to be a buying club...and means we're eternally developing talent and selling it on, whilst paddling water ourselves.

Losing him says more about the philosophy of the club, than it does affect what we have on the pitch.

If it wasn't for the "emotional" blow to the club of losing another star player, we would be able to carry on and replace him reasonably easily. IMO, or course.

I think you underestimate the amount he contributed to other players' goals last season; he got 9 assists, the most in the squad behind Song the Destroyer (tm).

His goals can be replaced, but he is much more than a "stick it in the back of the net after everyone else does the hard work" guy. Much more.

podols will play on the left and giroud would be much needed back up for rvp, especially as robin will not go through another whole season like this one.

that would be true if rvp was staying. but he isn't. so ignore me.

Nah. Not really. Top quality player. And yes, he does have a lot more to his game than goals....

But we play as a team, and someone else will step up to provide the assists. We don't have a problem creating chances, we have a problem finishing them. Luckily for us, RVP was here this year to finish them.

Of course, I want him to stay. Goes without saying.
