Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

For some reason?....you know exactly why we went for him

Even waited the year until the price was just the way we like it.

The joke was we paid him about 80k a week as well

No, the real joke was we were all sitting there waiting for the guy to show us something. Every time a striker comes in, same story. Giroud, is he the one? Chamakh? This is the guy. Sanogo - well hold on a minute, something's wrong here!

Wright, Bergkamp, Henry, Wiltord, RvC...

Bif, Lily and Postie?

Somebody's having a laugh!

you are really mentioning Wiltord in the same annuls as Wright, Henry, Bergkamp and that other dutch toerag?

Wiltord is certainly no better than Giroud, the difference is that Wiltord wasn't played as our main striker.....

Steady on here. Wiltord may have been behind Henry and Bergkamp, but he is a better striker than Giroud ever was. Do you remember Wiltord ever having a mare in front of goal. Do you think Giroud could ever score the goals that wiltord scored fpor us. the winner in a tight game like he did to win us the title at OT.

None of our current strikeforce is good enough to clean the man boots.

Wiltord was often terrible in front of goal and he was never prolific....i think we are crying for the moon

Yes Giroud played more games than Wiltord, but he has massively outscored him in the same period of time that Wiltord played for the club.

That's what is frustrating, Giroud is a decent squad striker about the same level of someone like Wiltord but should not be starting week in, week out and if he wasn't....i don't think people would be so scathing of him.

Giroud and Welbeck are good backups if we actually had a decent 25+ front man

Well, what are we bloody waiting for??

Terrible in front of goal. Really?. Im sure you cannot remember a single game that he was terrible in. Giroud on the other hand.
Giroud is 2nd rate always has been on that we are agreed.
Wiltord on the other hand has scored goals that have been crucial for both club and country

Yep. He was cheap. But there are plenty of decent free agents hanging around that we don't go for. Why we stuck our necks out for this one, I really don't know.

I remember Wiltord saying that he and Wenger used to have blazing rows in his last season or so at the club which almost led to both men coming to blows.
