Giroud Discourse

[Boss]

It was reported on SSN that ******* had been watching Dember BA at the same time he was scouting Giroud, but went for Giroud!

Wenger said: "It was Giroud or Demba Ba in the summer — they are very similar players. I was a bit cautious about the noises on Ba’s knee injury, but someone told me the problem he has is manageable and can be prevented."

Yet he signed Overmars who had a dodgy knee because he was a risk taker and had steel balls. Now he's a loser with no ambition.

Giroud has 9 goals and 8 assists in 17 starts this season.

Ba has 16 goals in 23 starts this season.

Yep.

Yep.

and imagine how many goals Ba would have scored playing in this Arsenal team with Carzola, Wilshire etc supplying him with endless chances.....

Yep.

Yep.

have you seen our games this season? not sure about endless chances. probably would've scored one or two more than he has already - definitely wouldn't be ahead of rvp.

Giroud is an aesthetically pleasing oaf. actually what annoys me about him is his heading. Eight times out of ten he mistimes his jump when they punt it towards him. Hangs in the air, descends and then gets beaten to it.

[Kryptonite]

Rubbish signing really! In the summer spending 15m (so extra 3m) could have got us Ba, Huntelaar or Michu. Giroud misses too many chances. Nowhere near as good as theo or podolski. Whatever happened to having strikers that know where the net is!!!

Trouble is once we put these Chamakh and giroud type players on the stage everyone can see so we can't get rid of them. We need to p,at behind closed doors with a TV blackout and beefed up security.

[Marc Overmars]

I don't think he's a rubbish signing, he's more than capable of doing a job for us. The problem is we don't need someone to just to a job, we need class. That chance today was bread and butter but it's not the first time he's fluffed his lines in that sort of situation. Brilliant at the "big number 9" work but we need a lot more than that because we're well off the pace.

[KSE Comedy Club]

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to point out how shit a manager wenger has become, but then I see that it's about giroud, a player who has only been here in this league for 6 months and hasn't had enough full games to settle in yet.

But I guess that's normal round here

[-Xs-]

Time for a change?

Yep, I think the board and Wenger agree; looks like our change will be no more champs league after this season.

The whole thing is a mess, at Highbury with 38,5000 and boxes only on the clockend, we used to attract top quality players minus a 2-3 misfits, but in general we still had a wage structure and our transfer policy was always done professionally, and we were never in any danger of going under or carried any bad debt. Everything seemed rosey, 5 years later we have the worst squad since I can remember with average players, we have bought badly not cheaply because we have spent money on Carzola and on Podolski and Giroud. I think our scouting network is 10 years backwards and that needs to be overhauled. A club like Arsenal should bre ahead of Newcastles scouting or Swansea's, no disrepect to the clubs mentioned. It just seems that ******* wants to do manage everything from being the tea lady, the coach driver and the financial director of the club. ******* should not renew his contract, let him see out the season as there is no way he'll walk and no chance of the board sacking him as he makes far too much money. Would be like selling your top saleman to a competitor. Anyway shit day but exepcted, as long as ******* is Le Boss it will get worse before it gets better.
