Yeah, it's fair enough on Giroud, his 21 goals have been important. He's frustrating as fuck though. A nearly striker. We need someone who looks as shit as Sturridge did a year ago and then miraculously turns into what Sturridge is today. Whoever we get, it needs to be all about pace. Blazing Anelka type pace with Ozil and Rambo firing the bullets.

looks like he gets away with it quite lightly on GW - poor bastard, must admit though he couldn't have been aiming his header where he did otherwise it wouldn't have gone it - I'm in agreement with the pure luck brigadeOriginally Posted by Globalgunner
Picked this comment up on Le Grove. Cracked me up no end
“Our third goal happened coincidentally, Özil just kicked the ball on L’Oreals head.
That it went inside was pure luck.”
Giroud just cant get any love round here....except when he pays cash for it
Quality striker and a Must Keep.
Towards the end of the game he had finally figured out how to get into the box and at least be there when the chances came. Fluke or not he had to be there and that was his main battle yesterday, and on other days. He's too slow to regularly get himself into the key positions that matter for a big striker who relies on stuff through the air and scrambles in the box. So he needs brains instead. He's a bit slow in that department too but there are a few signs he could learn.

Theres always hope. Sheringham was stupid and slow and yet scored tons of goals. He was also ugly and a Spud yet ended up banging Miss GB
Problem with that fella is that our whole transition game is based on the front man being able to hold the ball up while the inside forwards or the attacking midfielder catch up. Otherwise we would be like in Henry's last couple of seasons when he was so fast he would often find himself completely alone up top with no support. Higuain would have been a great player for us in hindsight as he is big and dirty enough but also has the brain to create that half a yard to swing his foot at it, Giroud doesnt have that for me.
Giroud was outstanding at Montpellier because he had Soulemayne Camara at the side of him in a free role unless we are going to push Ozil up into a striker type role he is less effective.
Weird team Arsenal under wenger, we went from having a solid all round team to having a few stars and a lot of guff to being back to the solid team again.
Giroud has done as well as could, he's not clinical or ruthless enough but hopefully we don't need to be so reliant on him next year.
Get Jackson Martinez tbh.
Quite surprised Quiff has got 21 goals this season, this means if we'd had a decent striker up top he'd have got closer to 50.
I don't mind Giroud as our bench striker.
But I'd perhaps see if Higuain is available again. There were a few links of him to Chelsea if they don't get Costa.

Giroud doesn't offer anything like that

I'm glad the Chav's are going to waste a lot of money on Costa. looks less mobile than Giroud in most of the games Ive seen of him this year. Also think he has a weight problem which is not going to get better with age. Should go to City though because he is a proper pikey. Don't worry about his 30 goals - Johhny Jenson could have scored at least 3 goals in his career if he'd been playing in that Micky Mouse league.
