Lol Balague is saying that it’s done and that Dortmund has given up on Giroud and will now get Michy because yeah we are surely gonna let Michy go without replacing him lol.

I think Dortmund will sell him and push something through. They're done with Aubameyang. I think Modeste could be the one who ends up at Dortmund. He's in China now but was tearing up the Bundesliga and had his best years under Dortmunds current manager when they were both at Cologne. I'm glad Auba finally got to realize his dream of playing for Arsenal, it was his grandfather's favorite club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalvadorsDeli Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Di Marzio is now saying that Giroud is moving closer to a move to Chelsea. Seems that this might be necessary on our end to get Auba as Dortmund need a replacement and Batshuayi becomes available if Chelsea sign Giroud. If we're able to make it a permanent sale and recoup some money to put into strengthening midfield or defense, then that's great business on our end. Don't love the idea of selling directly to a rival but the upside is getting Auba and that's more than worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEvans Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Daniel Sturridge and Jay Rodriguez at West Brom, three years ago that would have been a devastating duo. Love me some J-Rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeEvans Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Spurs Agree Fee for Lucas Moura Kind of surprised they went for him to be honest. They need options on the wings but I have some doubts on if he'll succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't like selling to rivals ever, but this is something that makes sense for both sides. Giroud was going in the summer regardless (he wasn't getting the playing time and with us now bringing in Auba along with Lacazette, the writing was on the wall). It unloads a sizable wage for us. Our two sides have already played our allotment for the season, whereas you guys still play all of City, United, Liverpool, and Spurs at least once (Giroud's not cup-tied for the FA Cup because he was injured, so he's eligible to play if those match-ups occur - Liverpool removed), so if he contributes to Chelsea being able to take points off of any of the later 3, it roundabout helps Arsenal in a pursuit of a Top 4 finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvadorsDeli Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yikes, what a mess. Part of me wonders whether Chelsea is just doing this to try to prevent the Auba deal from going through. If Giroud was open to a move to Dortmund though I suppose if the Chelsea deal falls through we can try to get the original Giroud/Auba swap done but I feel like we're leaving it late here.

Dr LBC Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If this does get held up, I genuinely hope that every future transfer inquiry from Chelsea regarding an Arsenal player till Kingdom Come is replied to with faxes reading, "Demba Ba."
