“That’s 19 million over the top” – Arsenal fans react to breaking Olivier Giroud news

The Frenchman is a bit of a strange case for many fans at the club; while some believe him to be of great value to the club, others regard him as substandard for a first-team Arsenal striker.
The former Montpellier man has seen his game time diminish this season as Alexis Sanchez took the role during the earlier part of the campaign. Due to that, Marseille’s American billionaire, Frank McCourt is looking to make Giroud one of his first signings as he looks to rebuild the team.
Here’s how some of the Arsenal faithful have reacted…
