Ornstein repeating the same ad nauseam. Seems the position on this then. A wait and see. I hope we have alternatives waiting in the wings for when this inevitably fails.

"Spurs would take Giroud, Giroud would join Spurs and Chelsea would allow it. But it all comes down to whether or not they get a replacement into Stamford Bridge first"

Did anyone else just see a breaking news pop up on Sky Sports saying ''Spurs agree fee for Giroud'' ?

It was there like 5 seconds and now been removed..

The one silver lining with Giroud for me is that he knows the league. If we're only after a stop-gap striker that's an important factor. Willian José would be more exciting but at the same time he might need a long period of settling in.

Giroud wants us no ??

Were there not articles stating his family are settled in London.

I reckon it's us or he stays at Chelsea. Of course, Mertens being being the crucial piece of this coming off.


On the above assumption. I'm not sweating over Giroud to Italy clubs...


Yet.

So the replacement bit is the stringing along bit is it not?

He's getting the winner on Sunday! Fucking bicycle kick from 25 yards. Rabona 45 yard crossfield ball by Bale into Stevie B..... Flicks it over his head and hits a sweet first time volleyed pass to Giroud who controls it with his chest, facing away from goal flicks it in the air and in a move of perfect symmetry, facing away from goal rifles it into the top corner. He stands there, hands in the air Cantona style lapping up the applause, Bale runs over and jumps on his back, his leg crumbles at the knee, Bales momentum takes him over Giroud shoulders and into the turf shoulder first. Epl injury table:
Giroud : knee ligaments : 12 weeks
Bale : broken collar bone : 16 weeks
