Reported 2.5 year deal. That's garbage.

For a backup striker, Giroud >>>>>>>> Piatek.

According to Sky, Chelsea want 10m for Giroud while we aren't offering more than 4m. If they don't lower their demands, they can keep him. 10m for 33-year-old Giroud who has only 6 months left in his contract is plain stupidity.

Yeah, fuck them. Marina can go fuck herself (videos pls!) if she doesn't come down with that demand. She's a tough negotiator so obviously he starts with a high price. I wouldn't go over 5m€ but I guess we will do that in the end.

5 league goals in 3 years. I like his chances of producing numbers like this into his late 30s.

According to Sky, Olivier Giroud is close to Inter. Inter are offering 4m while Chelsea want 1m more.

If this lands, we can actually challenge for the Europa League if we want to. Giroud-Sanchez isn’t a bad backup duo at all.

Yes, that 4-5m€ + 1m€ bonus is way more reasonable than what was first reported. Maybe those reports where some fantasy by English reporters who want to see English club getting good deal. It's not a bad deal for them even with these figures though since Giroud's contract ends in summer.

I'm working in a subdivision which has 10 homes valued at ~ $1,000,000 and thought "would I trade these homes for Giroud?"...fuck me running.

5 is more reasonable, but I'm still not sure why we need him with Sanchez back and Esposito getting sexier everyday.

If I'm missing something, please fill me in. I'd love to see Giroud of today play to see what he can do, but it's hard, because he doesn't.

neither sanchez nor esposito can hold up the ball like giroud does. FFS, there's a reason he was (is?) the starting CF at French NT

Giroud is quite underrated. One of the Top 10 goalscorers for the past decade in the EPL, yet probably the best "target-man" in the league. He is old, yes, but he'll probably be a much better option than the likes of Llorente.

Giroud would replace Politano, who seems on his way out. Makes sense to me.

It'd be different if you owned that subdivision.. and it had 50,000 homes.

As long as Giroud is on reasonable wages, 4-5m for him is an ok deal.

Giroud is one of the best target man in the world.
I would rather get him than Piatek and Llorente.
Giroud already work with Conte at Chelsea, and win FA cup.

:closeenough: :closeenough:

This mean Inter will get Giroud - Sanchez partnership like Arsenal.

Conte left Chelsea in the same summer when Giroud arrived.

Giroud signed for Chelsea in January while Conte was still their coach. They went for him after failing to sign Dzeko. Sounds familiar? :D

GdS reports now that we're offering Giroud 18 months contract while he wants 2 years (or 2,5 years?).
