We want more signings.

"He has chosen Arsenal. He wants to go there. His clause is €12 million and with a price like that, it will be tough to keep him," said the former France Under-21 coach.

I'm reaonably optimistic at the moment.

Was going to say the same thing. We are notoriously slow-acting, and have lost out on talent as a result. This, however, his different. Are we seeing Gazidis bring a new way of handling things?

The BBC disagrees with you, adit. They don't post news unless it is accurate and they don't write news about rumours or agent talk. Just about every other reliable source you can think of have the same story: just the formalities left, which are likely to be completed after the Euros.

This is hardly agent talk.

Wenger didn't comment.... but he was very smug when asked about Giroud and Arsenal. I got the distinct feeling he was pleased.

He was a commentator for TF1 during Netherlands/Germany.

we need two more players:

AM
DM

we might also need a young versatile defender to cover at rb too, as i am not sure how sagna will return. moreover, i simply dont trust jenkinson.
but of course we need to sell players aswell:

bendy; 9mill (having a great euro's )
vela: 5mill
squallaci: 1mill
park: 3mill
chamakh:7mill
djourou: 4mill

total: 29mill??

Vela should be worth more than Chamakh.

If we bought Giroud I see us only getting either an AM or DM, not both. It'll probably be a DM as well. Dont think we'd buy another AM without selling someone like Rosicky, Arteta, Ramsey, Lansbury, somebody.

Lizarazu teasing Wenger: "You signed Giroud, didn't you?" - he won't answer!

^ Quality.

Seriously if this deal does not go through, I will be forever deceived by Wenger.

Provided all goes to plan, Arsenal will announce Giroud signing after Euro 2012 #afc #bbcfootball (via @bbcsport_David )

It looks as though this is going to get done. I just hope there are no last minute snags that cause it to fall through. Arsenal can use a big, strong, bullish yet skilled guy like Giroud in front of the goal.

Giroud will be backup to Van Persie?

Supposedly Giroud would play up front with Van Persie and Podolski. RVP could play just behind Giroud and would probably be quite happy to do it.

last season we had one goal scorer, next season we'll have 3.

Spoiler:

worst case scenario we'll have 2. :obamanotbad:

Montpellier have their Giroud replacement: deal agreed today for Angers striker Gaëtan Charbonnier. Tall, strong, technical. Ideal. (via @younggunsblog )

Yes,

An absolutely stellar signing for Arsenal. Giroud is a terrific striker who will immediately fit into Wenger's plans as I see it.

The price that acquired Oliver also is a bargain in my opinion as here is a man who was the star player of a minnow team winning the Ligue 1 against their French giants.

Very happy for Arsenal as I also hope that RvP stays.

I also am confident that Giroud won't be another Chamakh. I can assure you all that.

We need to sort out our midfield first, not our attack!

not if our one scorer RVP leaves, then we have no Attack.... which is looking likely.

So Giroud and Podolski are great additions

and if RVP doesn't leave we can solve our mid creativity problem by playing him as SS

and having two defensive/Tempo Dictating behind him

It doesn't matter which order we do it in, just as long as we do it.

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Giroud. Medical and other administrative procedures will be completed after Euro 2012 @bbcsport_david
