So by saying something along the lines of "I would thrive on further competition for my position in the team", the media would draw negative conclusions and portray it is a way it is impossible to do so?
===========
Yes, they would say 'Arsenal morale nosedives, as Giroud slams forward partners - The French striker claims he doesn't think his current Arsenal team-mates provide him with enough of a challenge'
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, KPPR. You're far more articulate than I, it worded what I was trying to say a lot better than I could!

Penguin if he is worried that his comments can get misinterpreted, why did he make any comments at all?

Lousy excuse but what the hell, maybe you can explain that for me.

Again, why Giroud wanted Suarez at Arsenal in the summer. Maybe you have a proper answer to it? Thank you in advanced.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I already gave you the answer. Because in Giroud's deluded mind, Suarez could 'complement' him.

Oh, because saying "No comment" when the media ask a question to him would be bound to be received
positively, wouldn't it?

You have a wicked imagination KPPR. I suppose with the media you never know, but that is a bit extreme. Half of the Arsenal squad publically pressed Wenger to spend in the Summer and oddly enough, the media never came out with headlines like that.

The difference is that this is specifically in his position. If you asked say, Arteta, whether he'd want a DM signing vs 'strengthening' the squad, you'd get different answers.

No of course not. But why are you saying that one thing, the logical thing, to say would be misinterpreted, yet what he really said wouldn't be?

Imagination??? How long have you lived in this country, Batmanu?

I feel a bit sorry for you, Bats, you're fighting a one man argument here now that everyone else on your side here has fúcked off :/

that is a lousy answer.

__________

Because he gave an interview on this recent poor performances and his situation at the club. What do you expect him to answer.

I don't really understand what this question is asking

What he really says HAS been misinterpreted is what I'm saying... er... I think. We've crossed lines so many times now it's becoming facking confusing what the hell is going on

So you think the comments he has made in the OP have been misinterpreted?

Do you now concede, that if that is NOT the case, that his comments you previously defended on the article were the wrong thing to say?

==========
Yes, by you! That's the point we've been arguing for nearly five hours!

No KPPR, that's not what he meant. He is talking about Giroud's English being shít and the media misquoting him.

I have not misquoted him, the quotes are there for all to see, not just the quotes in the OP but the previous quotes from September where Giroud states the signing of a natural striker Higuain would have bothered him

that is hilarious. We discussed several different points now.

===========
Would have bothered him A BIT. But, and I can't believe I'm reiterating this again, he also said he was NOT AFRAID OF THE COMPETITION.

posted on 30/12/13

Not afraid of competition.

But bothered by it. The mentality of a true top player and winner.

I hate it when that happens. Once I started criticising powerkinghenry for something HenryKamp had said. I was so confused!

I said that was a possible reason it could have happened, not that it was the reason. I also said that whatever he said was gonna be turned against him, either way.

Now you're just continuing to put words in his mouth.

Giroud isnt afraid of any competition as Wenger backs him. Higuain would be less competition for him as Suarez because Higuain is not a CF or would be used as one at Arsenal.

---------------------

Yeah, it's just a mess now tbh. We're just re-iterating the same thing again and again to each other... I think.

I think you got that the wrong way around but I agree

Of course, the Suarez of NOW probably would start solo up front, though we wouldn't have known that at the time. Still think him as an inside forward would have (would still be) great.

Flamini
Ozil Cazorla
Walcott-Giroud-Suarez

But it's not as Rigid as it appears there, because we don't play like that.
