So those people that don't rate Giroud, who do you think Arsenal should buy to replace chamakh and park then?
Pat, yes really I do believe it. Ibra is a "Pflaume" and you know it already I dont rate this guy.
-----
I know Ibra divides opinion but I don't think he's technique can be questioned.
I've only seen a bit of Giroud but from what I've seen I don't think he's technically better than Ibra
it's called optimism. you should go and look it up, but the basic gist is to not instantly look for the worst possible outcome in every situation, as you do.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enough, at least you admit its hope and not judgement.
I actually think he's a good player but not special and doubt his ability for a top 4 PL team.
There are players in the PL lower placed teams that have a better record than Giroud who we would never dream of signing. Grant Holt as an example has a better scoring record.
Grant Holt doesn't have a better scoring record
Some people are taking "The French Grant Holt" comments from that commentator a bit too seriously
Yeah its not like the BBC/ITV commentators ever make mistakes
Seriously, the standard of commentating is idiotic beyond belief for the Euros.
Grant Holt
=====================
...... could you remind me how old is Holt?

Lineker's one liners make me cringe
All the money we could have saved, not to mention the message it would've sent out to our rival(s) if only we'd signed everyone here's number one choice.

One day he might get close to the standards of Lawro's one liners

From what i have seen of him, it leaves me very optimistic as to how he will adapt.
You, however, completely ignore every bit of evidence that he might do well, and instantly decide he will be a flop, just as you do in each and every situation that arrives.
different strokes for different folks

Not true - i think Podolski is a great addition for us.
The facts are that Giroud until quite recently was a second division French player and he has had one good (but not world class) season in a top division, although much lower quality than the PL.
His goal scoring record is average, not even good. over his whole career.
i choose not to go over the top on a player just because we signed him.
I hope he does well - we need him to if he signs - but I am not going to get carried away when there is really no justification for it.
If your basing your argument on him being a "second division" French player two years ago, just look at Koscielny. Very similar situation and he's turned out to be a fantastic player.
I mean, jeez, i totally agree with the OP, it's embarrassing the fans who moan about everything, we've signed two good strikers and it's still June, seriously.... It's mind boggling give the guy a chance!
I dont have to pretend i think Giroud is great just because he might join us.
To date his career has been pretty average.
He has shown improvement, but he'll need to make another big step up.
Based on Jayram's logic then we shouldn't have bought Henry then!!
Good article.
Anyone who compares Giroud to Chamakh is an idiot. They're nothing alike.
Like Batmanu said, Giroud is like a left-footed and youger Ibrahimovic (obviously not as good). He's got great technical ability for such a great man.
Very good player.
Batmanu you are such a hypocrite
The best thing is he's denying it on the other thread when the evidence is right here
