multi million pound company in pr shock - who would've thought
Are you new here?You guys are unbelievable. Our head scout has just confirmed what was suspected to the press and you guys still won't believe it.
We signed 2 strikers this summer. 2 first team strikers as well. £10m+ for both of them. Thats practically unheard of at our club.
The club knew RVP was going long before he made that statement.
You can talk about PR all you like, but in football terms, he looks like an RVP replacement. His position as a central striker shows that, the timing of the deal shows it our past history with signings and the fact that our head scout has now confirmed what was suspected.
Where did you think he was going to play? Would we really keep a guy worth that much on the bench?
oh i see - only your theories that contradict official arsenal.com statements mean anything? noted for next time...
podolski preferred position is central - he is the main guy now so will take that spot. wenger likes pace out wide, except for games when he wants to pack the midfield so he stuck yossi or ramsey who could pull back into the centre, usually away from home.
giroud would get his chances given the fact that everyone knows rvp would not have played a season like last with so many games.
wenger has changed his approach, as you have noted over the past season, so stronger options from the bench are included in that.
You make note, Terry. Because I remember this time last season where we were talking about the Nasri contract situation, you were carrying on in this same way. Very dismissive. We're in the same situation with RVP's contract talks and you're repeating the same things I said about the Nasri situation. Why didn't we act sooner because we knew this was on the cards.
Also, this isn't my theory. Our head scout has come out and said Giroud is part of our back up plan for RVP. You're saying it's a PR exercise. That's a theory. Time will soon tell. If we sell RVP and don't sign a new striker then we'll know for sure.
Yes and no. I mean, they would have known there was a distinct possibility, and in all likelihood, the gag on RVP was until Giroud had signed.
Though, I do think they hoped he may change his mind.
As it is, he effectively burnt all his bridges with the statement (which I thought was a pretty low blow for someone of his percieved good character).
And as far as the club go, it also shows that we're not as willing as some might want us to be, to keep him. We keep saying, he's getting on a bit, and if he wants a four year deal for big bucks, it seems ridiculous to pay him over the odds if he is likely to get less and less playing time in two years time.
It's forward planning by the club. Which we should actually be happy about, rather than moaning about it.
Doesn't mean that we don't need further options up top though, so lets just hope that all of it is sorted as quickly as possible.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
i was dismissive about what exactly?
no this isn't your theory but you have others that contradict the club. the phw one springs to mind first.
i would imagine theo will be called into the centre now as a sweetener to sign on
Can you elaborate on that...soz, being thick.
Do you mean they'll sweeten the deal for the fans? i.e. pay him bigger so he'll stay and we'll be happy??
