A87 is right, the timing might have been a bit off. However when the dust finally settles, I think we might just feel we have reinforced in a position where we have a lot of options. We have signed a true world class gem, but would have been happier if we had spent all that money on a striker of the same calibre. I have seen us often on this forum, complaining if only we had a world class striker, with the amount of chance we create. But then again what do I know about Giroud, AW must know and see something!
At least we broke ours and spuds transfer record, even Manure's as well! So proof AW is not afraid to spend!
