re: Dempsey put up for sale by Spurs??

Giroud is what he is, a rich man's Bendtner/Chamakh. Benteke is the same style of player, tall, target striker good enough on the ball to get the midfield involved, but CB has the higher upside. That said, Giroud was pretty excellent in his build up play all year, and his intelligent movement made up for the fact he is slow as shite. He's also willing to close players down and run all day off the ball. I just wish he was a better finisher.

I doubt we go after Benteke because he would be a luxury signing given our squad. It'd be nice to have him though.
