It’s a free transfer. It makes sense to wrap it up early before other clubs show their interest. Don’t worry, we’ll be seeing at least 6 “senior” players leave the club this summer and it won’t be ones we’ll miss terribly.

Sonogo is worth a shot but wenger can’t let him fail like so many have done over the last 2 or 3 years. As for giroud, I think he’s missed more clear chances than any striker in the world this season and I don’t think we deserve 4th place. I think and hope we will of course and with santi in the team we always have a chance.

Rooney probably won’t be lighting up the emirates next season but surely we will get a top striker in and sonogo to be a backup might not be bad at all. Plus we would be able to switch to a 442 from time to time.

The most worrying thing about signing Sanogo is his injury records. Also, can he compete with Giroud or another potential (big-name)Striker? Where do this leave the future of Chuba/Gervinho?
Considering the fact that he is a free signing, its understandable. Still, we shall pay his salary….and sometimes its hard to get them off the book if they arent successful with us…aka chamakh/bendtner/park. Because we have got so many average strikers already, the signing, for me, would have make sense if it was made once we sell those we already have here.

well written Dan…

but the management can never please anyone…its just funny how no matter what they do its the same crowd coming out and complaining!!

Free transfer of a player, with boat loads of potential and tall, strong and fast by all reports…i say well done!

and to “Dog” i would compare Rooney to Giroud and right now be glad we have Giroud. I think Rooney would bring nothing but discontent and arrogance to the side, disrupting the team and system…and to boot he is one of the most overrated overhyped players in world football HISTORY!
Giroud has shown steady improvement all season and will be stronger with a year under his belt. A late bloomer that is developing well. His hold up play is very underrated and it has take arsenal a while to adjust to how best to use it. And in the air there is no better player in the EPL, if our team could learn to cross he will bag 20+ a season easily

I’ve seen you promoting it Daniel. I’ll get there sometime believe me! Often so much going on around me & trying do little things bouncing around the net – then I found Gunners Town too. Jeez! I already subscribe to your blog and 3 others. I may be a long way from the ground but can’t get enough of the club… I’m glad I don’t say anything controversial (time will tell, heh) and I’ll take what you say as a compliment. Thanks

Also, you talk about the quality of our through-balls etc but it’s actually been a “weakness” of ours. The midfield/strike-force are all basically new and need time to gel and get in sync. Judge Giroud on his goals next season when he’s actually had a chance to sync up with Santi’s wavelength.

Thanks Kevin. I always enjoy your comments. You should give the Goonersphere Home Team Blogs a look. I'm sure you'll love it and they'd love your comments.

What do you disagree about? The point of the post was to say we shouldn’t get worked up about Sanogo just yet because the transfer window isn’t even open. Do you think we should be hopping mad about it?

Great piece as ever Daniel and I certainly agree with your sentiments. You know my thoughts on the current squad and their definite basis (and gelling together – after all, most foreigners need a season, ours have settled quicker for the most part) as a side that will challenge for, or win, major honours next season.
I don’t quite agree with Dog (I think that’s happened before..) when he intimates that Giroud is basically not of the quality required. Ok he may not be absolute top-notch (how many are?) but he’s done a decent job in his first season. As for his point about Rooney making RVP look better – who’s to say he wouldn’t have the same effect on Olly?
The Sanogo signing will be a good one IMO. You can’t knock the goods without trying them out over a long period. Surely that’s how all these top reviewers in whatever fields they work, go about things? Give the boy a chance. Then we’ll see.
