Welshit :lol:
I think he's kinda at the place Sturridge was before he joined liverpool. Just needs to stop trying to show off and focus on the simple shit, as soon as he can settle, he'll start banging them in.
Think we can rule Welbeck out. Wenger aint spending 15million on a backup striker, he won't bench Giroud and Sanogo seems to be his "Pet Project".
I'd rather give Walcott or Campbell games up front if we're considering Welbeck. But heck, if signing Welbeck is what it takes to get rid of Giroud, I'm all for it.

Giroud is going to be 28 this year and he''s not going to get any better. That's the difference. I can't stand Welbeck but he at least has some sort of potential. We're seeing Giroud at his peak and it's not good enough.Quote:

Giroud isn't truly world class, he's not bad and he's got a decent number of goals but he's not a Suarez or a RvP, that's for sure. We need better if we're going to seriously challenge for the title. But Wellbeck? There is no indication at all he's going to even be as good as Giroud, let alone better.
Girouds performance against Besiktas was nothing short of a disgrace. He's a wanna-be model playing at being a footballer. 2nd only to Jack at time spent lying on the turf. He is not a good finisher, his control is poor, his passing is woeful, he lacks pace & movement & he sets up more attacks for our opposition than there own players do. We gave him time to improve early days & he has chipped in with a few goals but he's never going to be what we need.
Welbeck however isn't much better & the £15 mill would be far better put to use trying to get Bony from Swansea, Rodrigeuz from Southampton or a down payment for Jackson Martinez.
