Also Arsene, please don't risk the entire campaign on Coq's health. Asking for another DM for the fourth year in a row. K thx.
Hoping Giroud is the odd man out of the community shield lineup, we're so much more dangerous with speed around Ozil plus Giroud is great as a sub. -------Theo---- Ramsey-Ozil-Ox --Santi---Coquelin
Giroud doesn't score against Chelsea, think he should sit but I bet he starts. Still can't believe Wenger gave him a new deal. Unwarranted.
I don't even like Giroud but please, no problem with his extension. There's a lack of top players on the market and the top 7-8 teams in the world have way too much money and that includes us even though we're on the low end. We have a squad that can compete in EPL, no excuses.
Five goals in eight games against Chelsea City United and Liverpool and we're still running out the "Giroud doesn't show up in big games" meme, huh?
Giroud isn't a top 5 striker in the world, but he's probably just on the outside of the top 10. Considering Sterling is on £200k/week, Milner on £150k/week, I feel we are getting a bargain for Giroud at £130k... Even when he doesn't score, he does the dirty work to allow others to capitalize.
Im no fan of Giroud but he has played well enough for us to keep him and im okay with that. we still need a #1 striker though.
Gunners I just went back to look & I'm also seeing the he extended for £90k/week... Even more of a bargain IMO
Yeah, it's no bargain, but wages are all on the rise. It's hard to gage with the new TV deal. Compared to what some others are on, £130k wouldn't be terrible. I think Cleverly is on £140... Which is insane
130 would be close to terrible, but 90k is good value imo. then again Arsenal is making boat loads of money, so i really dont care much as long as we arent paying everybody 200k
90 is about right in our current structure, Wenger obviously wants an upgrade but he still serves a purpose. Theo will probably get 120-130 since he's english and them having no problem running his contract down. The salaries will probably bump up whenever Ozil and Alexis get extensions.
I think I read it's €130k which would make it ~ £90k maybe? I don't know though. I'm not a Chelsea fan, so I'm not up to date on my currency exchange rates.
If I ever tire of Raven exchange rate jokes put me out of my misery because I just can't enjoy life any longer
