Sure there was an article on him saying he'll 'never sign for City....always a Gunner, blah, blah, blah' on SSN last week. Can't see them accommodating all three.

For all we know, relieving the goalscoring burden previously imposed on RvP, might be one of the conditions he has dictated to the club as a condition of him staying.

Ketsbaia Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 If Giroud does go there, that pretty much confirms RvP is gone tbh. No way can you keep RvP, Podolski, Giroud, Gervinho, Walcott and The Ox happy. There's also Miyaichi, Bendtner, Vela, Chamakh and Park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Giroud rejected Valencia, Malaga, Zenit & QPR in favour of Arsenal. All 4 clubs offered much higer wages than #afc (via @GrooverBlog ) Fair play to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 It'll be; Walcott - Giroud - Podolski Meaning that cunt Van Persie is off. No way all three of them can play together, they would just get in the way of each other plus Wenger seems to favour Walcott on the right for his pace and can rotate him with Gervinho if needed.

For all we know, relieving the goalscoring burden previously imposed on RvP, might be one of the conditions he has dictated to the club as a condition of him staying. Does'nt Podolski relieve the burden? in any case it just doesnt make sense for the balance of the team.... 3 forwards that all thier best work in the penalty area or in and around it and dont offer the greatest defensive ability. Not to mention the fact that Giroud is a 9 he cant play nowhere else, which means RVP will be forced to be play as an AM or outwide 2 roles i dont see him doing to fit in Giroud. Also Giroud has already rejected Bayern because he wouldnt play 2nd fiddle to Gomez no way is he joining Arsenal to play second fiddle to RVP. Personally think Giroud is joining Arsenal to be the Main man..... means 1 of 2 things either RVP will play outwide or deeper to accommodate Giroud or RVP is leaving. I reckon RVP is off tbh, fair play to Arsenal for sorting out a replacement before hand instead of letting it drag like they did with Cesc and Nasri.

I cant see an outcome where RVP and Giroud can be fitted in and still have all the players Wenger will want in the line up. All signs point to RVP leaving and Giroud coming in and perhaps a goalscoring attacking midfielder like Dzageov. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
