We/I’ve slagged off people who came with the argument of if we’re going to sign a better player/manager if we drop Giroud/Wenger. But in this case I do think that has some merit. Giroud is known quantity and is good enough to win the Europa League with. For that goal alone I’d keep him for one season and he’ll get too sod off if he turns 32.
I’m not convinced of Lacazette. I’m just going of those compilation videos and it seems like he gets a lot of time and space in Ligue 1. Something he won’t get here. I don’t think we’ll sign anybody from the Lewandowski category either. Imo the best way to go is keep Giroud here for another season, since Welbeck is very injury prone, find a youngster and go from there for 17/18. If we continue to play 3-4-3, Sanchez probably isn’t going to play striker anyway.
