OLIVIER Giroud has signed.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Two possibilities IMO
1) RvP is going and they know they can't lose him and not sign some proper players this time.
2) When they met RvP told them straight they needed to show ambition if they want to keep him and Arsenal are trying to do just that.

I fear it's the first but the 2nd is plausible. Either way it's good to see us doing some positive business for a change.

i honesty believe its the second. after euros, rvp meets wenger. wenger asks how hsi summer was and robin goes it was good. how was yours. then says we were busy and shows him three new players and good players at that. he will sign there and then

More happier with this signing than the Podolski one.

And they all lived happily ever after and went home and had ice cream and some cakes.

Don't know him, he's better than Chamakh I presume?

Despite not seeing him play I think it's safe to say he's better than Chamakh.

Are you a loan signing from RAWK?

I am on boared with this one, I reckon RvP will stay. I think he will look to get paid though rather than see us force him to see out the last year and run the risk of having less market value come this time next year, as he will be 30 and not guaranteed of going through the year injury free. And I dont believe we would be wrong to do so either.

Not sure if he will say he had a good summer when asked tho. . .Holland stinking up the Euros at the mo. . .at least he will get a rest.

We're certainly making a case for him to stay. No-one can say we're resting on our laurels this year, expecting players to come back from injury and counting them as 'new signings'.
