Should I keep Giroud or sell?

 

Great stats, but had an awful preseason.

 
 
 

No.

Giroud is a good back up or main striker for any FM team. With the right tactic, he can score 30+ goals in a season, which is proven already by players in these community. With players like Bellerin, Walcot, Monreal, and Sanchez, Giroud should be doing easy tap ins or headers in the box. He is probably the most technically and physically gifted target man in the game, apart from Zlatan!

Don't worry, I didn't. I'm a few games into the season and he's top scorer. He's been a constant. He even got a hattrick against Chelsea.

Hello All,

I am new here - so warm greetings to all Arsenal fans! Sorry for chaotic style but I not used to yet to web forums.

 

I started new season in FM2016 with my favourite team and I have really stunning season.

Preaseason transfers:

OUT:

Flamini

Campbell

Monreal

 

IN:

Gaya (50 mio EUR)

Bernardo Silva (30 mio EUR)

Jorge Mere (future)

Dani Olmo (future)

 

Winter transfers:

OUT:

Gabriel Paulista

Elneny

IN:

Bazoer (14 mio)

Riedewald (17 mio)

 

Future IN

Donnarumma (6 mio)

Thiago Alcantara (37 mio)

plenty of 4,5*-5* regens including one of future world class golkeeper :)

 

Lot of young players depatrured on loans (Gnarby, Jeff as well). Still not finished 1st season (but already PL winner and passed Champions league quarter final - with Juventus - 3-1 away, 6-4 home...) and I see few players to be loaned after (Coq as Thiago comming). I am not rather spending tons of money for the players so will not go for Griezmann or Pogba.

 

Cheers Gooners.

Update to above post. After season I let them go:

Coq - 40 mln EUR to Barcelona (Bazoer had stunning entrance to first team, very rarely below 8.0) rating.

Mer - 21,5 mln EUR to Dortmund

Wallcot - 45,5 mln EUR to Man Utd

Santi Cazorla - 38 mln EUR to Atletico de Madrid

 

IN:

Jesus Vallejo - 45 mln

Ruben Neves - 42 mln

 

Real wants Giroud for 45 mln EUR but guys, he scored 56 goals last season. I can have younger Morata for that price, but I can't see him scoring that well. Any ideas and advise?

I decided to start a game with Arsenal, not a fan, but I felt they were a decent challenge. Big club with great finances, big stadium and great fan base but too long since they were genuine and consistent challengers in the league. Now into my third season I thought I'd post my journey here. 

 

Season 1:

League Position 2nd (Winners Chelsea) Notable news – The two Manchester teams finished mid table leading to Mourinho and Pep both being sacked.

 

Cups:

EFL Cup – Winners – Beating Newcastle 3-1 in the final

FA Cup – Runners Up – Losing 2-1 (AET) to Manchester United

Champions League – Quarter Finalists – Lost to Barcelona (Atletico were the eventual winners beating Juventus in the final)

Europa League – Sevilla – Made it yet another win in this competition

 

Transfers: I think not being a fan helped make tough decisions in this area as I have no real life allegiance to players.

In:

Timo Horn – Koln - £6.5m

David Alaba – Bayern - £31.5m

Lucas Silva – Castilla - £16.8m (January)

Domenico Berradi – Sassulo - £26.5m

Cups:

EFL Cup – Lost 4th round to Reading

Champions League – Winners Beat Real Madrid 3-2

Europa League – Manchester United

As you can see I am looking to start bringing through some of the young players I have brought into the club and get them some experience through the seasons ahead, hopefully meaning I have a set team that combines youth and experience. I am happy to finish top four this season though champions as always is the ultimate aim.

Playing on the new LFCMarshall Transfer Update:

Signed Ousmane Dembele 24m, Rashford 32m. 

Ousmane is injury prone! in case someone wants to buy him as well, however, Rashford is what Akpom wishes he could be. Scored a hat trick on his debut.

I have started new save as wanted to go little bit different way. And it shows me how this game is random. Now I am finishing first season and Giroud sucks (last save he scored 56 goals) - missing even empty net. But Wallcot is scoring every position he plays. Once i put him instead of Monreal and he got hat trick. Lol.
