Anyone who is still saying Giroud is not a top player is frankly a buffoon. Yes he does have bad days.....ALL strikers have bad days. He is on top of his game at the moment and only 5 goals behind Costa and Aguero despite missing a large chunk of the season. It really is about we appreciated him a bit more and realised what a good player he actually is
Giroud's season so far
21 Appearances
17 Goals
3 Assists
If this was a player at another club we would all be crying out for his signature.
Should be nearer 40 and tbf he's no 'Arry "one of us*" Kane is he?
*i.e. fugly, and sound "fick" when he speaks

Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
I agree, his stats this season are world class. He's been playing really well, easily his best season to date. I actually think he has improved due to threat of losing his place to Welbeck.Originally Posted by Seymour Butts
IMO We still need another striker, I think we need an alternative to both him and Welbeck, that Argentinian guy we are heavily linked with from Palermo may well be that guy.
I just don't think he gest anywhere near enough credit. Hugely underrated player IMOShould be nearer 40 and tbf he's no 'Arry "one of us*" Kane is he?

17 in 21 is a great return.
I'm big fan of his ability and a big fan of his face.
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.
17 in 27 i think.
But yeah, a much improved player this season and his goals win us (crucial) games now
He's not much of a dribbler and isn't blessed with pace, so he probably doesn't get the recognition he deserves because he's quite an unspectacular striker in that sense, most of the goals he scores are often bread and butter finishes in and around the 6 yard box. He's intelligent though and I'm sure if the goals keep coming he'll win enough people around.
I wouldn't say it's the lack of pace and dribbling. For his size, that shouldn't be expected. It's the missed chances people forget and the lack of goals in the CL or against top opposition. That's been the main problem but if he corrects that, becomes more clinical in front of goal....scores more of those belters, he'll get the deserved credit.
I tend to agree....though you are noticed more if you have particular abilities in abundance. He has started to score against better opposition more consistently and obviously score more often so he's on the right track. The CL is the obvious blot but he can be forgiven that as Wenger really didn't prepare the team properly for that first game.
I've been delighted by his step up and didn't really expect it to the extent it has come. If he does what he's done this season next, then folk will most definitely talk about him being world class..... and not so many people will think Welbeck is dead cert to start.
I start Welbeck ahead of him in Fifa for his lack of pace..
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
