Would you rather have Giroud up top than Rooney? really? there are at least 10 strikers in this league who are better than Giroud! Aguero, Rooney, Sturridge, Dzeko, RVC, Lukaku, Bony, Remy, Costa, Negredo etc.

IMO if we signed any of the above mentioned players above we'd have a much better chance of winning the league.
I agree with some of your points but stronger and better goal record? Someone just posted he has a better goal record than Rooney in the last 2 seasons. So how exactly is that a better goal scoring record? I think they are equal in terms of work ethic, though Rooney has a much much better technique. As for big game player, I have seen Rooney do fuck all in many big games. He usually has a spurt of 6-7 games where he will go batshit insane and then we will just ride on the goals from those games.

I'm in no way saying that Giroud is the greatest striker in the PL. All I'm saying is that he also did not always have the best supply up front.. our football is a bunch of dilly dally backward passing BS. Give him a chance to play with quick counter attacking players around him and see him look like a much better player.
