Prefers Giroud for what? Giroud is almost the perfect example of what we don't need. The Scorpion King, the one-off, top corner belter. But the other 99 times he can't make the simple header, can't get into the box to apply the finishing touch, and can't even be bothered half the time. What the hell is Wenger seeing when he watches Giroud play? There's nothing to see. What I see is a stubborn old goat who will never admit when he's wrong, even when it hurts the team, the club and his own reputation.
Don't think he really wanted Welbeck either. He bought him to calm the rising protests and because he was relatively cheap. The man who signed Thierry Henry - what an absolute joke he has become. Sanogo, Park, Welbeck, Perez, there's no strategy there at all. No rhyme or reason.
