    More concerned with what is happening with Theo, and whether we can get rid of Gervinho. We need creativity on the wings, and this should take priority for me.
    KJH is much more dangerous in front of goal than Giroud IMO, he's a natural finisher and at corners etc would be a threat, players like him have a knack of being in the right place at the right time, I don't think people give these type of players enough credit.

    I'd be really excited if we signed Huntelaar, would be great to see an out and out finisher at the club again.
    KJH is quality, no doubt, but is he going to get goals out of nothing? I'm just worried that we're buying another player who needs service. Service which we don't even provide to Giroud.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    One thing I have noticed, is whenever we put a ball into the box, Giroud will almost always win it, only to have no one following in on the knock down. Playing with 2 up top could work.

    I dunno...I think KJH is a far superior finisher. Giroud has other qualities that are superior to KJH like his hold up play and aerial ability, though KJH is more mobile IMHO...both aren't particularly quick though.

    Theo is gone IMHO, even if he sticks around for the season he'll go to one of the big 3 in the summer for free. What we should be more concerned about is who is going to replace Theo...probably will be an internal replacement, I mean when have we ever spent proper money on replacing players?

    Giroud is not a natural finisher like KJH is, some of the chances he's blundered this season have been quite poor. I like Giroud and he is effective at what he does but we're struggling to score goals this year and another viable option would be good to have. People shouldn't get too bogged down with this perception that he doesn't do anything but score, he's not a playground goal hanger.

    Besides if Saturday is anything to go by, we could be starting to get our creative flair back. Play Giroud with KJH and we could be on to something, in theory at least.

    Play both together and i think we'd see something special tbh. One can hold up and assist well the other can finish well, think they'd score a few good goals between them.

    Who's going to supply them? Central Midfield is improving now that Jack is finding his feet and working well with Santi so that's one area. The Wings are a bit of a mess at the moment though.

    When Theo goes we're screwed on the wings unless one of Poldi, Oxo or Gervais really step up.

    Don't worry, we'll sign KJH then Wumger will play him as a right winger for sure. Problem solved
