NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Maybe. I don't think he's loads better.
Giroud isn't a super-star, he's not going to win you a league. But he's a great option to have.
I think is problem was he thought he was world class which he isn't and he missed too many sitters.
but a striker of his type is still useful and he was a good impact sub
Sanogo wasnt so bad either since we are rewriting history here. Chamakh was deadly in the box and Forehead was lethal

No-one is rewriting anything. Giroud's goals/games ratio is loads better than Lacazette.
He's no Aguero, but he wasn't anywhere near as bad as many Arsenal fans said he was.
105 goals in 253 games isn't going to win you titles, but he wasn't useless.
EDIT; 44 goals in 105 appearances for France too. Only Henry and Platini have scored more for France.
That must be why he has spent the last 3 years at Chelsea warming the bench and scored fewer goals than Lacazette this season

He's 34. He's clearly not at the peak of his powers.
And no-one is claiming he was an absolute World beater. He just wasn't and isn't as bad as some Arsenal fans made out.
He was rubbish is a mantra that you made up yourself just now. His problem is he never could score enough goals to carry a team. Thats what most people were saying. We said similar things about every striker since RVP and later Sanchez. Those 2 carried the club on their backs until they left. Giroud has the unenviable record of going to a WC, playing literally every game and not scoring a single goal.
This from a search just now:
Olivier Giroud set a remarkable record after playing 90 minutes without touching the ball. His other unbelievable record was set in the 2018 World Cup as he played 546 minutes in the tournament without having a single shot on target.
I can imagine him and his kid having this discussion
-Papa what is this?
-Its my World cup winners medal
-Whoo! What position did you play?
-I was a striker
-How many goals did you score
-Isnt it time for you to do your homework

Case rested
Oh behave. Anyone can cherry pick.
His career stars tell you the full story.
Although to be fair, I had a look at the thread when Bif left and people were generally being nice about him. Generally though I always felt people moaned about him more than he deserved.
People used to moan about him because he wasn’t RvP, which is a bit unfair.
