This isn't a rumour, and won't happen, but to me sounds ideal on paper.

Olivier Giroud available for £5m and £5m a year salary over two years.

Alfie could net us £25m and seems to want to go.

Giroud would be an equal, if not an upgrade for the short term, and £10m left over to plug a short term hole.

Obviously this won't happen and we won't sell Alfie til the summer and at that point we will reinvest in a younger and cheaper player. But if he forced a move in January, it'd be a good solution.

Fantasy football stuff I know, but it's amazing what my mind will wander to before I need to actually do some work.

Imo although giroud has a bit of skill is a very lazy player and would not fit our system in the slightest. would rather we went and tapped up Gayle who is out of favour at newcastle. But never gona happen.

Giroud is one of the most complete team strikers around. He’s anything but lazy. But I’m wasting time on this because it’s pure fantasy anyway!

All about opinions. don't think he would play well through middle himself. Like you said will never happen anyway. Could jot afford his wages.
