    Zabs is ours
    Fletcher has gone to Stoke
    Ibra is crocked

    Bar Clichy the rest are championship players

    ;whome I conveniently ignored the ours, Stoke and crocked as they were all on the list and I needed those players (Martina or Sagna for Zab I guess) especially Ibra

    WEST HAM 'TO MOVE FOR GIROUD'

    West Ham are ready to move for Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud, according to the Daily Mirror.

    Marseille have also reportedly shown interested in the 30-year-old, who is valued at £20m. He

    France international Giroud said last week that he “will not settle for another year with such limited playing time” at the Emirates.

    I like Giroud but he has become a bit of a super sub at Arsenal. Last season he started 11 times in the Prem and scored 6 but came on as a substitute 18 times and scored 12.

    18 goals in 29 games? Only 11 starts?

    Giroud would be an incredible signing. Him and maybe a younger guy on loan would be perfect. He'd guarantee us goals for the next 3 years or so. I'm sure if we went in with a £20m-£25m bid Arsenal would listen.

    Whether we could convince him to come or afford his wages is another matter.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Whoops, that should be 6 goals as a substitute so 12 goals in 29 games

    I had a late shift, didn't get home until 1:30am and the microwave is broken
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So that makes him more of a super starter then. ;lol
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Giroud would be my no 1 choice , but as Luke said, would he want to swap north for east London. ...
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    I'd prefer Iheanacho as he is different to what we have got. Giroud however is also an excellent target - a replacement for Carroll?

    AC is going nowhere.

    A friend of mine in Newcastle says he has been spotted a number of times in recent days in the La Yuan restaurant. Moving back to the North East or getting acclimatised in preparation for a move to China?

    Probably right Iron Herb, who would be mad enough to spend big money on someone who is continually unfit to play.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Hope we don't get to pre season without signing a striker. Otherwise it will probably be like last summer.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Pre season starts 5th Julys still plenty of time.

    You mean besides us?

    Dortmund. Reus seems to be injured even more than AC.

    Hart linked again. May be at his lowest price right now. SSN reckon a loan "with wages stopping permanent deal"

    Hart makes just as many mistakes as Adrian imo

    The torino chairman literally called him out as being poorer than expected

    Form day one I don't understand the constant GK links.

    For me it's our strongest position...

    Why risk upsetting a GK squad that is solid and have shown willingness to work together.
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    I'm sure diddy dave is working night and day to save spending any money ;hmm
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    my worry is the same mistakes will happen again we never just go out and get our man yet seem hell bent on wasting money on the wrong players imo.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    its quite simple.

    Hi City we will give you 25m for Inhenacho,
    > we want to insert a buyback clause for 30m
    Hi we believe if a buyback clause is to be included 40m is our mark
    > this is not acceptable.
    Thanks but no thanks.

    We did just that with Payet...

    I've heard dozens of managers talk about how hard it can be to get deals done. I certainly don't think we are any worse than average, and I don't for a second believe it is due to a lack of effort, or willingness to pay money (where the spend is thought to be value for money.)

    The problem we have is we are in the same boat as many other teams , every player who is any good in our price range will have several teams after them and their agent will play them off against each other to get the best deal for their player. We can't do a Man City/Chelsea etc and just go and buy who we want . We have a limited amount of money to spend and we have to spend it wisely whilst competing against several other clubs.

    Was chatting to my journo mate at the weekend and he said that the Ihceanho /Bats deals will only go through when Man City /Chelsea have signed replacements first ;hmm
