The Let Down Called Giroud

Page 1 of 7

4 years in a row as our number one striker.
Nobody on the team can give him a challenge.
Nobody in this world we can sign to give him a challenge, to send him to the bench.
So funny, and so sad.

Henry never blasted him

I think you are being unfair. Giroud still tries hard. You talk as if you know for a fact he does not work on his finishing and composure in training. It's not his fault he's not world class, some people are born with the potential and he wasn't.

It's because of Wenger's relentless faith in him. Theo, Welbz, and Sanogo are absolutely terrible attempts to relegate Giroud's role.

People say he's tried but 4 seasons on where is this CF?? I really don't understand this blind eye. Once Wenger's strongest most consistent position to groom players into he's now let us go with this parody upfront.

If we don't sign a CF I'm right back in the Wenger out camp as it's pure proof he lacks the ambition to win the title. How can I possibly back someone who makes such terrible errors in the market so consistently?

4 seasons on with Giroud is no joke. We have the worst main CF amongst the top 15 clubs in Europe whilst Wenger makes clear we intend to compete with Barca/Bayern/Real it's an absolute joke.

Akpom at the least would've been an interesting last project for him to nurture like he's done with many in the past but to still go with Giroud he we all know will NEVER be good enough is beyond belief

Sick of it!

Not really Giroud fault. Wenger is to blame.

Bar the Suarez flirtation (never realistic) he has never looked at getting a striker that would take Giroud spot.

Giroud has had no challenge

Nope yesterday the effort wasn't there until Theo came on where he realised he didn't want to be outshone by his competition.

Taking silly shots when a better pass was on, at times not even being in the penalty box, link up play being non-evident.

Once you lose the little he gives us he really becomes a pathetic waste of air and it's infuriating to say the least.

What a let down he is

----------------------------------------------------------------------
United - Rooney
Chelsea - Costa
Liverpool - Sturridge
City - Aguero
Juventus - Morata
Real - Benzema
Barca - Suarez
Atletico - Martinez
Milan - Bacca
Bayern - Lewandowski
Inter - Jovetic
Valencia - Alcacer
Spurs - Kane
Boca - Tevez
PSG - Ibra

Majority (all, imo) of them are factually better. If you argue about 1 or 2 players that's your opinion and my point remains would still make 10 despite us trying to be a top bracket European club

posted on 10/8/15

Sorry just confirming the players that moved clubs like Martinez, Bacca etc.. some of these sides have more than 1 better than Giroud so you're actually lucky.

Before the summer I could've made a case for 20.

Me needing google is mythical. Proven time and time again to show everyone on this board up.

GT ready to get humiliated again or will he be wiser and bring fourth a sensible debate? Let's see

Have you even seen half of them?

Off to google some of their good games?

This article should be re-titled, "The let down that is Wenger."

"Over the past 3 years it has been blatantly obvious to the smarter supporters such as myself that Giroud was NEVER EVER going to be good enough to lead our line whilst we seek major honours."
==========================================
And yet Wenger has looked only to "improve" on him once; with Danny fecking Welbeck. This is a man who earns £8m a year and is apparently one of Europe's best coaches.

The man is a joke.

Yes hence why they were named. All better than Giroud sorry to see you shown up given you probs thought I was exaggerating but nope and it makes our situation look a lot worse doesn't it?

Now have you got anything productive to debate or is your football IQ too low?

Why would I google when my knowledge is miles broader than yours? If anything I've missed a few.

Oh yh Dzeko wherever he's moved to now...

If you insult people it might move on to a slagging match instead of people seeing you dont have much of an argument, just unproven hate

Giroud is far better than Martinez, Bacca, Sturridge, morata, Jovetic, Alacer, Kane and tevez now he's lazy

Awful.list

Hahahhahahaha all those CF's are better than him only questionable ones are Moratta and Alcacer (arguably same level) but their ceilings are superior so considering their potentials can be fulfilled within this season they'd still be better fits for us.

Tevez lazy? Did you watch last season then?

You've got the nerve to accuse me of needing google yet think Sturridge, Tevez & Bacca especially are inferior lmao you're clueless and have no right to debate with someone like me who knows far more than you about this sport.

Giroud's better than them you're a clown if you really mean that!
