could any of the Eds please give us a quick update on Giroud it's being reported we are going to bid for him and compete with West Ham for his signature are these reports just because well according to the rags we are looking to buy everyone or is there some substance to the reports.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any approach to Arsenal by Everton but another club (not West Ham) has talks scheduled for, I believe, Tuesday - or possibly Wednesday in London. If Everton have moved interest to Giroud then they need to talk with Arsenal.}

Giroud? I'd much rather invest in a speedy, tricky and young striker myself. Don't see Giroud as a 90 minute striker.

Brian I agree he probably isn't a 90 minute player anymore but he played 29 times for Arsenal scoring 16 goals 19 of those 29 were as substitute. we would have finished top 4 last year if we had someone coming of the bench and adding 16 more goal. that's just my opinion.

I agree ToffeeAl he would be an asset to the team not just coming off the bench though, I think with more game time and starts he would be really valuable and make a good impact for a good few years he's like a Teddy Sheringham no real pace but position work rate teamwork and football brain are right up there. Would also try and get another youngster in like Dembele or Dolberg they could learn a lot from Giroud.
And his ability to bring others in to the attack is top drawer!
It's a yes from me Mr Koeman!

Giroud would be perfect for us for a couple of seasons and he'd end up being a cult hero. Think how well Southampton did under Koeman with Pelle leading the line. Giroud is a better version and our midfield is now of way higher quality. He does everything that Rom doesn't and still bangs in his fair share. He's the one I want to replace Rom. Just not sure we can persuade him to leave London seems a fairly cosmopolitan type of guy, not sure Liverpool is his sort of place.

{Ed025's Note - i will take him down matthew st svenny and when he sees the quality of the totty im sure he,ll be interested mate.. :)

Al. Would you not rather use the reported £20m fee for Giroud as 2/ 3 of the fee to get the likes of Dembele? I'm looking to the future too. Would love Dembele at Everton.

Why not both Brian? We've lost Kone replaced by Sandro lost Valencia get dembele lose lukaku get Giroud! Upgraded strike force right there with decent depth in the youth.
