BBC reporting Arsenal are set to sign Oliver Giroud from Montepellier for £12m.

Looks like RVP's going then.

yaaaaaaaaaay

Doesn't necessarily mean RVP is off. Chamakh and Park could be off before him.

The price.

Great signing for Arsenal imo, I think he'll do well in the BPL.

I think Robin's gone.

£12 Million for some who has scored 21 goals, Chelsea made triple that for Hazard.

Podolski---Giroud---RVP

Walcott? Gervinho? Chamberlain?

Gervinho is shit and Chamberlain won't start yet.

How do other teams manage to buy good players for good prices and we manage to sign shit players for shit prices?

I hate transfer windows.

Fully agree. We're not even making any visible attempts.

RVP is gone. Too good of a player for Arsenal. Come on, use your common knowledge, this signing only means one thing.

I hope you are right, getting in excess of 25m for him and bringing in Giroud for 12m would be fantastic business.

Reminiscent of our own Torres-Carroll switch.

I'm waiting...

Next Chamakh.

Great, so we'll have 2 very good players who'll play up front in RvP and Giroud with Podolski another option up top.

Yeah RvP isn't leaving.

£12 mil is so cheap in todays market, if he was going to madrid or city would be £20 mil +

He's in the last year of his contract so I doubt it would of made a difference to his price if City or Madrid wanted him (Which they wouldn't since he isn't good enough for either side).

This. Bye RVP.

I'm jealous, his TOTY version had amazing strength and finishing. Should have no issues with Luiz.

If RvP does stay how would they line-up? Assuming all Podolski, Giroud, and RvP are starting. Would the play RvP on the wing?

RVP's replacement
