Tottenham’s attacking offer is remarkably dysfunctional, despite the wealth of allegedly attack minded players on The Special One’s roster. We have Dele Alli who threaten to have a good game in maybe every four, Lucas Moura who appears to cover more ground than clockwork mouse, and there’s Sonny who can frequently pull off miraculous works, but getting a second striker remains seemingly a puzzle.
Not content with signing an Arsenal fan in Matty Doherty, it appears that José is now interested in securing the services of a former Arsenal player, in Olivier Giroud. A source close to the club tells me that Mourinho’s patience with Bournemouth’s transfer fee demands has been rapidly ebbing away and the Portuguese wants to get a deal in place, sooner rather than later.
The Kosher One’s solution is none other than the one time filthy Gunner, Olivier Giroud, himself.
Olivier would bring, along with Joe Hart, greater maturity to the group, along with that crucial experience of knowing what it takes to silverware. For too long, we were fed this line about the youthfulness of the Spurs squad, as if this was some great virtue. The reality was the production of players knew how to do silly finger tricks, but had never laid their hands on a cup.
Last season Giroud scored 6 times for Chelsea and 8 times for France.
