Last season Giroud played in all 38 league games. He got 16 league goals, equaling his highest ever total in a season, including 3 in the last game which was meaningless and made his stats look better. He didnt score in February, March or April and during that time we dropped out of the title race.

This shows me he is very limited. He can only play well in short bursts. I dont mind keeping him as a sub but he has proven year after year since joining that he is not good enough to be first choice striker.

For 12m he's been a fantastic signing. Should never have been first choice but that isn't his fault. He's earned a starting spot at the moment with his recent form but his history says the goals should dry up soon.

You should definitely keep him leading the line. He's very much a Wenger player.

Don't get this £12m stuff. We are not Burnley living on a tight budget that means we cannot buy better than him. In fact if Burnley had bought him I bet he wouldn't average more than 10 goals a seasons because they don't have the likes of Alexis, Ozil, Walcott etc. creating for him.

The fact that he was so elated may have been down to the fact we were 3 down and came back. I like to see players celebrating like that. Shows they give a monkeys. Footballers are not robots.

draw........... no thoughts from him about winning the game?

loser mentality prancing about doing scorpion kicks instead of going for the winner

to compare, when kane scored that pen equaliser against west ham he went straight for the ball, showed his intent,.... and we won the game in the last minute of stoppage time


loser giroud

That's missing the point though. It's not Giroud's fault that we paid 12m for him and could have bought better all he can do is play well when he gets the chance and not bottle it when opportunities to score come his way. In that respect he's been a success.

I haven't been overly critical of Giroud for celebrating after the equaliser. However why do you think that a player should be happy for dropping two points against a team you were expected to beat?

posted on 13/1/17

The time between Giroud scoring and Bournemouth kicking off again was only a couple of seconds longer than the time between Alexis scoring and Bournemouth kicking off - despite Alexis grabbing the ball and sprinting back to the half way line.

The 14 game spell hardly tells the whole story either. In the middle of that Danny Welbeck started up front for 7 of them and Giroud was on the bench. In another he was taken off after 20 minutes because Per got sent off. He got 3 assists in the other 6 games, so not totally useless either.
16 goals in 26 starts isn't bad at all, tbf.

So you can be unhappy that Giroud plays for us but not be mad at him being a limited footballer! I don't think any Arsenal fan is mad at Giroud for being limited.
