Would you spend £31m on a striker if you knew you'd win two league titles, with him being the top scorer in one of the campaigns?
I suspect you would.

But he was a flop.
But he was free unlike Berbatov who cost £31M. Geddit?
Titles aren't free. Without him there wouldn't have been one. United haven't reached the point of making a 10 year plan to win a title yet.
He did bugger all to win the titles, even in his best year when he scored 20 goals, 11 of them were in only 3 turkey shoot games. Fop, flop, floppy signing.
£12million seems a very good price to be fair, think he'll be a good signing for them.
Lol. No.
What! You want to claim that Berbatov wasn't a flop? Good luck with that.
You do get your share of petty BS sent your way, don't ya peter.
comparing Chamakh to Berbatov..Do. Not. Bite.
Free Agent with Lesser Wages compared to 32m pound striker with high wages.
Both of them had six month purple patch where they scored and got replaced by other strikers thereafter. Difference here is Berbatov got replaced by Hernandes & eventually Welbeck. Chamakh got replaced by Magnificient Persie.
Chamakh has resale value and will end up being a profitable business. Berbatov..well..
That Title argument is bollox because he had feck all to do with first title win and just few point contribution in that 20goal season whereas it was Hernandes who ended up contributing more.

And you guys won feck all, have fun making profits on Chamakh.
Seemed to me Giroud was destined for Arsenal from the first time I saw him.
Would improve that midfield and provide cover for Wilshere and Ramsey.

No point wanking yourself silly over net spend, profits and re-sale value if your aren't going to spend that money to actually win something.
As far as comparing Berbatov to Chakmah...
Berbatov
starts-goals-assists
11-12: 14-10-2
10-11: 32-21-6
46 starts, 31 goals, 8 assists, [.85 goals or assists per game]
Chakmah
starts-goals-assists
11-12: 6-1-1
10-11: 28-12-5
34 starts, 13 goals, 6 assists, [.56 goals or assists per game]

Not sure if serious?
Oh dear, looks like being trophy less for so much time has messed up with Arsenal fans head. Who cares about trophies, when you can win the "who spends the less money on a flop striker"
Berbs isn't a flop btw, he made a more meaningful contribution to a title win more than any Arsenal player in the last seven years.

Football and on the pitch results don't matter to you ? It's all about resale ? It's very sad if that's the case.Anyhow, Berbatov has got 2 Chamakh in each feet
That one got away from you, didn't it?
Shocking really. From now on I'm going to assume goo has never watched any player play football that he's making comments on.
Ever.
Ever.

Come on, which mod was responsible. Claim your praise here.
Noone tell him what he posted wrong. Let's see if he even realizes his mistake.

Google search: "Giroud wiki"
Second line: " He plays as a striker and is known for his size, physical style of play, and heading ability"
GooDevil: "Ah balls..."
he's been on quite a few times today so I'm sure he's realized his mistake and waddled away with his tail between his skirt.
is gooDevil actually a gooner then? Always wondered what the 'goo' part of his name was about..
I presume it's a play on good/evil and Devil(as in Red Devils).
He supports Arsenal and Man United.
He used to be called goonerRedDevil, shorted to gooDevil.
He's yours, and you can have Alastair too.
As long as you keep that wanker Storey.
I thought he was playing as an attacking midfield when I saw him for France, my bad. I am such a terrible scout!
Not to ruin the fun, but what I should have said was after watching him play a game I thought, "He looks like an Arsenal player". He looked to be a quality player but not any better than Ramsey or Wilshere.
But I deserve that for teasing people for talking out of their asses!
Never said I saw him play more than once, in fact I saw him play exactly once, for France, at these Euros.
If he's a striker he doesn't seem like the sort to lead the line, and Arsenal play a 433, is he going to play wide or as an attacking midfielder? Obviously my thought was the latter. Or maybe I have it wrong and he'll be RVPs replacement.
No excuses, accept your punishment.
Worst.
Scout.
Eeeeeeever.
