La Liga is pretty shit when you exempt the top 2 teams there. So yes, I could see Giroud poaching 20 goals a season against other shit Spanish opponents and thus warranting a call up to the Spanish Nat'l team.
Whats that got to do with making the Spanish squad??
Last time I checked - they've always taken strikers to tournaments - the fact they sometimes play without an out an out striker is neither here or there - that's purely down to a managers tactical preference.
Bottom line is when they have taken strikers in squads - Soldado is one of the ones taken, in fact Michu cant even make the squad at the moment.
Please tell me you don't think Giroud is better than Michu...![]()
Giroud can do the business, he did it at Montpellier.
Last season he was hit and miss because it was a new team and a step up from hat he was use too.
I said at the end of last season that he will come good this season and only get better, yes it's early days but he's certainly doing that and I stand by what I said.
The problem is that patience is running thin on the ground around here after the last few years. However cripps, I'm surprised by your opinion of him when the same could've been said for chamakh. I agreed with you that he was doin ok and probably would've gone on to be much better if he wasnt dropped for RVC and hardly ever played again.
Giroud will be fine and probably better now that he has he worlds greatest assister playing with him!
