Perfect Striker? Olivier Giround (Montpelier) - Currently Ligue 1's top scorer with 12 so far this season and 5assists, at 6ft 3" we would be deadly with Larsson whipping them in, he certainly knows how to score a header this lad. Personally think this lad would be a hit in the prem, he is a big bloke and is certainly not afraid to put himself about but has such great feet for a big striker, and loves an overhead kick, what a goal he scores on that clip at 2min 19) Wants a move to the prem as well - http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11670/7436270/Giroud-dreams-of-England [video=youtube;aR_kI9eA5lQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR_kI9eA5lQ[/video]
**** me he's good Poolie. Think we've discussed him a few times recently, what you tube doesn'tshow enough is that he is useful apart from goals as well, links play, good lay offs. Gonna be too much money, that and the fact that it's all fantasy, and we have in now way, shape or form been linked. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong mind, what great technique the lad has.
We've been linked with him massively. Cracking player, but destined for the top. Doesn't want to leave Montpellier until the end of the season at the earliest, and he is someone who realises that he has to be playing in Europe. I don't think anyone outside the top 6 has a chance of getting him, Montpellier want too much.
I agree mate, me and Poolie have discussed him regular, but we all understand that this lad is maybe a bit out of reach. Montpellier have a genuine chance of Champions League this season, so Giroud, Ait Fana and so on have no chance of moving in January. I hope he comes to England though, at some point, even if it's not us, as he is ****ing brilliant to watch.
