Sir Toon Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Giroud is on £100k a week but his contract runs out next Summer. It wouldn't be entirely out of our wage structure if his was part bonus based with a flatter basic wedge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Giroud's a very good striker. I don't think he's Rafa's type, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Giroud who couldn't muster himself to play to his full ability with Arsenal, you really think if he came to Newcastle he'd bother to up his game for us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 He's a really good striker but requires a type of service that i doubt our players and system will be able to provide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hasn't he played to his full ability at Arsenal? If you're suggesting he has then he's clearly not this good striker people are painting him to be. Huge stretches of games without goals, high amount of chances with low goal return, flattering performances off the bench suggesting that he should be playing all the time. He's scores 1 goal just over every 2 games, which might seem great, but the chance conversion rating is poor and this is in an Arsenal team that played through him at times. I just don't understand the sudden swell in optimism that if Giroud came to Newcastle he'd be some super striker for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 In fairness Arsenal don't exactly play in a way which would get the best out of him, we don't either tbh but i could see him being much better somewhere else. Arsenal need someone mobile really, Giroud has never been the right fit for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 But then you could argue that Arsenal have so much mobility around him that it shouldn't matter he isn't mobile. If they play and bounce the ball into his feet against high lines, using him to draw the defenders into him to play a ball into the channels between out of position CBs and FB, or the old give and go, then it shouldn't matter. If the opposition don't play the high line then he's got easy pickings in the area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 But then you could argue that Arsenal have so much mobility around him that it shouldn't matter he isn't mobile. It does though, players like Sanchez and Ozil will always look better playing with a striker who makes great runs than a target man as it just limits their passing options. It's the same reason why Barca never bought a big target man, it just slows down their play and doesn't really give them any major advantages to negate that.

Bimpy474 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Too right, he's not better than what we've got imo. If we are going to sign a new GK what's the point in signing no better than you already have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
