I think Giroud/Podolski were budget in terms of the money we paid, and I wouldn't put them on the Suarez/Rooney/Higuain tier (yet), but they are right there with the next tier, the Jovetic/Lukaku/Lewandowski level.
All I was saying is that the flop rate on the top tier is surprisingly high considering you can usually afford 2-3 Podolskis for every Higuain.

I think Giroud/Podolski (to paraphrase ) are right there with the next tier, the /Lewandowski level.

Carzorla is one of the Top 5 players in the Premierleague. You don't get 55 apps in midfield for this Spain team without being World Class.
Torres has TWICE AS MANY caps for spain and he is not world class by any means , this arguement doesnt really stand up does it.
I have already said that i have more faith in Cazorla scoring than Giroud , and its not even his job.
Santi is worrld class and Giroud is not.
Arsenal87 I am Arsene will sign someone. I dont think someone as clever as him will go into the new season with no big signings. Dont worry if you dont because you still have chamak and giroud lol

I am only joking goonercymraeg. I actually like you and think you are one of the best posters on this site. I was only joking about giroud, he is a decent player and would get into most teams apart from maybe united and city.
They have been informedHave you spoken to Minxy or brb or shall I ?

Matth please go away.You been banned from the Arsenal board in the past and I honestly don't want to ask for you to be banned from the siteHans gruber, personally i think he is a decent player. I think he will be better next season when he is used to the league more. I wouldnt mind him at united in a swap deal with rooney (plus some money) if he leaves. I think arsenal could mount a title challenge next season if you sign rooney, fellaini and a left footed player like di maria( if he leaves when they sign bale). I like wenger and think he deserves some slack.

hans gruber mate, did you name yourself after that character in die hard. I also really like die hard as well. What a great film innit.
