Real is in play, too.Havertz to chelsea for €100M as per bild...paid in instalments... incredible transfer once again for the blues.
Pedro already signed with Roma.Is anyone rumored to be leaving up front for Chelsea other than Willian?
Giroud has had links too. He'll want game time, I wouldn't mind holding onto him though.Is anyone rumored to be leaving up front for Chelsea other than Willian?
He already signed a contract extension with us. His ability to create space behind him that players can run into for chances is something Lampard obviously likes, and he keeps getting game time right now because it's been very effective.Giroud has had links too.

I completely disagree that they are "intangibles" and that you can't measure his impact with stats, because you can. He's just not a striker that should be your main goal scoring threat, but his ability to create chances for others is his biggest strength. I completely understood why he played for France at the World Cup over so-called better strikers and continues to play for them, because they have players like Mbappe and Griezmann as their main goal scorers and Giroud's ability to create space and link up with them is unmatched.It's weird when you think about it
When this guy bloomed late and had a career year with Montpellier and then signed with Arsenal, people asked how I would project him and I was unable to form an opinion on whether he would succeed or not.
Years later he's still (also with the NT) there, half starter, half sub, productive and yet unimpressive.
Does the little things right.
Key to winning but not on the scoresheet.
The ultimate intangibles guy in fact.
When his career ends he'll be tough to judge.
I know, but i saw recently Inter was still interested. It could've been a move to get a small fee, we'll see. I hope he stays, he's quality when there are scorers around him. With the players we are going after, he's sort of an ideal backup striker and starter at times if Tammy had a bad run of form and Werner is used in a wider position.He already signed a contract extension with us.

It would be weird for him to still want to move after signing a contract unless he was doing us a favor by not losing him on a free. I'm sure other clubs saw us sign Werner and we have Abraham, and think they can get Giroud.I know, but i saw recently Inter was still interested.

If you have wingers who can be best used as an inside forward/threat that are your main goal threats Giroud is incredible as he can make the best of those players and really make the attack flow that much better.I completely disagree that they are "intangibles" and that you can't measure his impact with stats, because you can.

Still work to do, but deal looks to be in good shape.
