Does Sarri even want to field a striker?
Giroud is a perfectly fine striker imo. Especially as a back to goal striker. He would give Hazard a lot of space to roam

Giroud is not the striker for a Sarri system for a start and secondly guy has 3 goals in his last 40 appearances or something. He is to slow now so no he is not a perfectly fine striker and especially not for Sarri system

I'm not going to complain. It is a 6 month loan and he is better than Munir for sure.

Loan deal oh ok, the guy always showed potential but is an absolute ass isn't he that is why his career has stalled i thought? Keeps falling out with everyone.

Well, he played quite good in Last Palmas. And canarians say he was focused and dind't cause problems. Maybe he has matured with age.

Ok well if you have watched Chelsea play at all this season you will see the issue we have is that we cannot put the ball into the net. Willian, Pedro, Morata, Giroud all our midfielders cannot put the ball into the net, they miss or just straight up make the wrong decision. Hazard passes the ball to someone for a tap in and said person makes the error. This is why we need a striker to put the ball in the net sir.

Yes and by fielding Hazard as a striker you even lost that last option.
What a genius Sarri is lol!

What so you would rather play Giroud as striker who offers no goals to a team who scores no goals? Yet playing the people who score the goals as a front 3 together is not good and worst?

You are missing the problem, problem is striker not scoring, we fix this by bringing in a striker who throughout his whole career has scored just OVER 1 goal every 2 games. Which is fantastic if your name isn't Ronaldo or Messi xD

How are Spurs not looking to sign anyone after injuries to Kane and Alli and with Son gone for the Asian cup? Do they not want to finish top 4 or something. Wouldn't be surprised if Eriksen goes to Madrid at the end of the season and it'll be downhill from there.

who can they sign? gotta take into account that spurs' front 4 is pretty much guaranteed when theyre all fit. whoever he signs now has to be happy with the fact that hes gonna be a bench player

Giroud is good. Certainly better than having a striker get called offside or falling down all the time. Still he doesn't fit us because we want players that can make runs. Giroud's so slow even Phil Jones on his knees runs faster lol

Spurs and Pochettino are now paying the price for overplaying all their players.

Thats genuinely heartbreaking. Their son makes this huge transfer the town in Argentina is celebrating that the local boy has finally made good on their hopes and dreams and in a matter of days everything is worse.
A wise man will say that he knows nothing. We're gona party like its 2752 Hail Dark Brandon

Also WTF is a record signing for Cardiff doing flying in a plane so old?
