'IN Arsene we trust' is the celebrated catchphrase of Arsenal fans.
But is Monsieur Wenger right in paying £13million for Olivier Giroud?
For years Gunners fans have urged him to splash the cash during the closed seasons.
Well, now he is doing just that but I am not sure Giroud is good enough and that he will fit into the Arsenal style of play.
Of course, it looks like he has bought him because Robin van Persie is on his way to Man City (I was told yesterday that the Dutchman has already been sizing up potential homes in the Cheshire suburbs).
But while I am convinced Arsene spent well on £11million Lukas Poldoski - a German international and confirmed deadly striker - Giroud leaves me full of doubt.
He is a straight up and down big hitman and he looked far from impressive in Euro 2012.
Do Arsenal really want to have to launch long balls to get the best out of him?
And can he provide the quality and goals to justify his signing?
Or is he just a more expensive Marouane Chamakh?
We shall see.
