Agree. I like Giroud - definitely think we should keep him. 22 Goals 8 assists - not a bad return at all. In fact its better than a lot of the strikers some think we should sign to replace him. He's not TOP class but he's a very good plan B. If we sign a more mobile forward it will give us many more options.
Some guy on Twitter says this Arsenal have now agreed personal terms with Mario himself, deal should go through, £25m not including potential performance related add-ons https://twitter.com/AgentJim_ Not sure how reliable he is but if this is true I'll be so happy
Seen it from a few sources, would be an amazing signing as I feel with Ozil, Ramsey, Ox etc supplying him he will score a hat full for us. On another note it appears Weng is also beefing up the backroom staff, perhaps he could tap up Sami K at the same time http://www.givemesport.com/475271-arsenal-agree-deal-for-fitness-coach-shad-forsythe
That Gervinho bloke looked good for Ivory Coast. Worth a punt? He's literally a head of everyone else.

Less of the old you ****ing goat herder I've seen another Tweet where someone says Italian media are reporting Ballotelli as a done deal but I can't find a source
I don't care I want Balotelli just because of this - Italy striker Mario Balotelli wants a kiss from the Queen if Italy keep England's World Cup hopes alive. England have a slim chance of qualifying for the knockout stages if Italy beat Costa Rica on Friday and the Azzurri striker tweeted: "If we beat Costa Rica, I want a kiss, obviously on the cheek, from the UK Queen." To come out with that is hilarious.
Someone Teeeted to PUMA yesterday "Are you planning an audacious stunt to reveal the new kits ?" PUMA's reply was "You won't be disappointed" ;-)
To be fair, if the teenager at Puma who spends all day reading and posting on Twitter knows about us signing Balotelli there's every chance the football journos would have some solid info rather than the usual Summer noise and rumours they currently spout....
If we did manage to get Balo, it would be compelling on how things turn out. Wenger has a very good record with tearaway strikers and problematic characters, and you can't get any worse than Balo. If Wenger gets the best out of him just imagine how many goals he'll bang in. That alone would be a risk worth taking.
