Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[AFC Leveller]

Higuain has been shit for a couple of seasons now hasn't he? Or has it been three seasons?

He can be worse than inzaghi interms of offside and missing chances but overall he is a goal scorer and i think he would take us up a level. His record for Real is 107 in 190 and 35 in 69 for Napoli, so around a goal every other game. While im a fan of Giroud and like what he brings to the team, i do feel with him leading the line that we wont win the title, he just doesnt have enough goals in him.

West Brom striker Saido Berahino has parted company with Aidy Ward, the controversial football agent behind Raheem Sterling’s transfer fiasco with Liverpool.

The 21-year-old joined Sterling in going with Ward when the agent set up on his own last season after leaving Impact Sports Management.

But Berahino, who was called up to the England squad last November, is said to have become disillusioned with Ward following Sterling’s attempts to leave Anfield.

Excellent. Now come on Ox, you're next!

Is he? Whenever I've seen him play he's looked decidedly ordinary. Is he significantly better than Giroud or Walcott? Say in the Suarez or Aguero bracket - players who would make a real difference? Can't see it. The fee attached to him appears to be insane, even by football standards.

So any of our forwards boasts a scoring record of a goal every other game?.

No I agree he's not in the Suarez or Aguero bracket and I think it would be stupid money to pay, but in terms of goals he is a vast improvement on anything we have up front. That's not saying we should pay that kind of money for him, that's just stating we don't have a striker with a one goal in two game average

[Marc Overmars]

Can't see Wenget going for a striker in the mould of Higuain, he's too one dimensional.

Either he'll buy someone versatile to play across the front 3 or he'll look for someone like Giroud to be a target man and a link between midfield and attack.

Giroud did last year.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

His overall goal scoring record is still no where near that, that's my point. Giroud is a patchy player and not a consistent goal scorer, scoring every game for seven or eight games is fine if you then don't go another seven or eight without scoring.

I don't necessarily think we should sign Higuain but we need an improvement on Giroud.

His overall record is fine, it's not one in 2 but it's not that far off. It's something like 0.4 per game.
I don't think he's a 'worldie', but he's better than he's given credit for on here at least.

I think part of the problem with Giroud is that he lacks the confidence and belief to be the best. Journos close to him say he takes criticism to heart and it effects him.

And what is that? What should he be given more credit for exactly?

[Power n Glory]

Scratch that. No point in answering that. We don't need another Giroud debate. If we're trying to improve the squad, that's an area we can certainly improve on.
