Olivier Giroud: Do we still need him in the squad?

It is less than a week away from Manchester City versus Chelsea and honestly I don't think I've ever been as excited for an away game and a week of football as I am next week. It's like we've been given a two-week break and everything's going so well then all of a sudden they throw a man city away and a Valencia away in the same week which is just absolutely gorgeous. The first thing that I want to discuss is Olivier Giroud the man who still is getting called up by Didier Deschamps. Olivier Giroud goals are not something right now that we're seeing a lot of and it doesn't look as though it's going to improve in anytime soon with Chelsea supposedly looking to try and sign another striker which immediately moves Olivier Giroud to fourth choice striker. Yet considering he is still scoring goals for France it says to me that he obviously still a very talented footballer. As a Chelsea fan who's really enjoyed Olivier Giroud at the club I personally would not want to stand in his way from him trying to get another move because I still feel as though he could definitely offer something to another top club and quite frankly the goal scored in the semi-final against Southampton and the performance and the goal he scored against Arsenal in the Europa League final speaks for itself. It's kind of like he has got to do something good to win over the fan base and Olivier Giroud has done nothing but work hard and is also a great role model for the other young players at the club and he's someone that never really complains. The only thing he has really said is that he wants to play football and you can never really have grudge with a footballer like that. It is probably time for him to move on and I for one am very grateful for what he's done for this football club and I wouldn't want to stand in his way.


Eden Hazard, the man we sold to Real Madrid said some beautiful words stating that Chelsea are only two players away from winning the Premier League or words to that effect. He said that if they sign two or three players, Chelsea would be first, which to be quite honest I don't know if we would be first but I think we'd definitely be up there pushing Liverpool closer than we currently are. I definitely feel as though there's going to be a lot more transfer speculation coming out of Chelsea and we're going to be linked with a lot of players with the supposed war chest of 350 million pounds which probably couldn't afford Mpappe but it could definitely afford a lot of world-class players with that kind of sum of money. On the other hand, Real Madrid are supposedly interested in Callum Hudson-Odoi He's just turned 19 years old and because he's worth a lot of money as he is is English, however he has just signed a new contract and he is not going to Real Madrid any time soon.
