Olivier Giroud (born 30 September 1986 in Chambéry, Savoie) is a French footballer. He currently plays as a striker for the Ligue 1 side Montpellier HSC. and Emir Spahić (born 18 August 1980) is a Bosnian football central defender, who is currently playing for Montpellier HSC in the French Ligue 1 and captains the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.[1] He is naturally left footed but can play with either foot very well. thoughts???
It was mentioned yesterday that Warnock was at the Montpelier v Monaco game at the weekend looking at these two so there may be mileage in it. There's also a Moroccan striker at Montpelier, El-Arabi who is 3rd top scorer in France this season, may be a possible 'buddy' for Taarabt.
Think we're gonna get Bassong from Spuds. He's out of favour, young and quality CB. Just what we need.
Quite apart from the fact that I read his name as Saphic, and thought we were due more troubles from female officials.... According to that fount of all possibly true knowledge, Wikipedia: In August 2010, Spahić personally spoke to Arsène Wenger and agreed a transfer to Arsenal, but Montpellier demanded ã25 million which Arsenal could not meet. That doesn't sound like the sort of money we would ever consider throwing out for a player nobody has ever heard of.
