He can be worse than inzaghi interms of offside and missing chances but overall he is a goal scorer and i think he would take us up a level. His record for Real is 107 in 190 and 35 in 69 for Napoli, so around a goal every other game. While im a fan of Giroud and like what he brings to the team, i do feel with him leading the line that we wont win the title, he just doesnt have enough goals in him.Quote:

The 21-year-old joined Sterling in going with Ward when the agent set up on his own last season after leaving Impact Sports Management.
But Berahino, who was called up to the England squad last November, is said to have become disillusioned with Ward following Sterling’s attempts to leave Anfield.
So any of our forwards boasts a scoring record of a goal every other game?.Quote:

Can't see Wenget going for a striker in the mould of Higuain, he's too one dimensional.
Either he'll buy someone versatile to play across the front 3 or he'll look for someone like Giroud to be a target man and a link between midfield and attack.
Giroud did last year.Quote:

I don't necessarily think we should sign Higuain but we need an improvement on Giroud.
His overall record is fine, it's not one in 2 but it's not that far off. It's something like 0.4 per game.
I don't think he's a 'worldie', but he's better than he's given credit for on here at least.
I think part of the problem with Giroud is that he lacks the confidence and belief to be the best. Journos close to him say he takes criticism to heart and it effects him.
And what is that? What should he be given more credit for exactly?Quote:
