I don't think Van Persie was as good as he is now the first season he arrived at Arsenal . We need to be patient and understand our players .
Pires was a really flop in his first season . But when his time came he never stopped scoring . Giroud will be a very good striker for us .
that really is an excellent post...fair play.

i think the problem is Wenger has asked too much of Giroud due to the sale of RVP...it takes around 6 months for players to settle in, but these new guys have to go from the start and it is the fault of the board and manager that they buy to replace and not complement.
