Would be insane of Arsenal to do this. Just keep him till the end of the season at least. Why help Chelsea?
Maybe he's simply financing part of the Aubameyang deal?
Cause Dortmund only sell Aubameyang, if they can secure a replacement in the next 72 hours and apparently want Batshuayi.
Arsenal doesnt care, or at least Wenger and their board, they fed City in early days too.
Sadly with Giroud going to Chelsea all the 90 minutes goals will be transferred to them. 
Arsenal want Aubameyang
Dortmund want Batshuayi
Chelsea want Giroud
For Arsenal to get Aubameyang, the other two things need to happen.
After his dance in FA cup final I hope they are bottom of the league.
Hah, I don't mind Pardew actually. Thought that dance was pretty funny tbh.
Winds me up now after that lol
Great for me to see someone interested in these Egyptian players.
I think Hegazi has more potential than Gabr though.
Does Arsenal know they're allowed to sell outside PL.
What's up with Auba deal?
What's up with Auba deal?
Dortmund want a replacement first and apparently have chosen Batshuayi on loan.Does Arsenal know they're allowed to sell outside PL.

WHat?Why is Chelsea letting Batsuaiai go?
Depending on the price we get for Giroud and Aubameyang's fee, we might make a profit this window or come very close to it.
Out: Giroud, Walcott, Coquelin and Sanchez: Walcott and Coquelin went for £32 million, if Giroud goes for £35 million that's £67 million in fees received.
In: Aubemayang and Mhki for £55 million
Three of those have been nothing more than squad players this year.
EDIT:
I don't particularly rate Giroud, opposition fans tend to note his last minute goals and occasional worldies but don't pay attention when he goes 10-12 games without scoring or misses easy chances.

Chelsea want a target man. They've been linked with Dzeko, Crouch, Barnes, Carroll and have now settled on Giroud.
Of all those names Giroud is the best.
I'm baffled by the average names they've been linked to. It seems Abramovic has really closed the pipe.
Names like Giroud and Dzeko make sense as a backup/rotation option. We'd hardly spend massive money when we already have our main #9.
I'd be very happy with Giroud. Compared to the utter shite we were linked with last week he's a godsend.
Agreed.
Džeko is a good player, other names are.. what.. Why would you go for them.
That makes no sense to me. With Mkhitayan and Aubameyang, surely Wenger has hopes of making the top four. Giroud would help Chelsea and likely ensure Arsenal don't catch them. Why help a rival?

I'm of middle eastern decent (parents from Syria)
6th in the table, 5 points from 2nd place Derby (albeit having played one more game). They surely want to do all they can to gain promotion. Not that easy to recruit good enough players for challenging for promotion with 3 days left of the window.

Great to hear, bro. Consider me your friend from now on.
Exactly. It would make more sense to not get Auba and simply sign another striker.
actually sounds very likely to be true to me. Likely one of the conditions is PSG being banned from CL by UEFA
It makes all the sense. Dortmund wouldn't sell without a replacement and Giroud wouldn't go there. Chelsea can give them Batshuayi but not without a replacement their end. They want a target man and Arsenal are happy to sell Giroud.
Preferably Giroud to avoid Chelsea but this is the only way they can seemingly get Aubameyang.
From Giroud's point of view, bar more money, why move to Chelsea, a team he'll surely be no more a regular at then Arsenal?
What happens to Lacazette, the £50m man? Will he play wide, or just be benched?

Staying in London is his only reason I assume.
I think Auba will be the one playing wide.
£18m now or keep him to try for promotion
Would be a bit of fun if Dortmund don't find a replacement.
Giroud would get plenty of playing time here. Morata has already been suspended once and has had 2 fatigue related injuries. We're still in 3 competitions. If he's fit he'll play.
Can even see us deploying both Morata & Giroud together with Hazard behind them against certain opponents.
Arsenal letting their plan B go to a direct rival.
Smart, real smart.
Smart, real smart.
Like Cech moving in the opposite direction he has a young family he probably doesn't want to uproot. It's going to be bloody weird seeing him playing for a rival.
And there would only be Morata to contend with, rather than Aubameyang and Lacazette, and Morata's position doesn't seem secure. So family and a better chance of playing for France.
It'll be the funniest thing Sky have broadcast since Alan Partridge's Scissored Isle.
