Giroud Out - Four Months and counting...

[goonersid]

Wenker will most likely still allow Pod to go, as for Wellbeck, shite as he is, he's not as shite as Sanogo. I'm not a fan of Giroud, in fact I think he is shite, but he is the least shite of the shite strikers we have, which in itself is a shite situation to be in. What a load of shite.

There may be an internal solution to our problem.

[franksav63]

If it brings a better striker in than him then good, just think Giroud would have got nowhere near the Arsenal 1st team 10 years ago that's how far we've fallen!

[rodders999]

Has this been confirmed anywhere? Wenger's done his pre Besiktas press conference and the only thing Pravda are reporting is that Giroud misses tomorrow's game.

I think that is why so many people consider our current players to be shite. Everyone is measured against that team.

But I ask you, who would have got near that first team. I can't think of anyone playing either back then or today that I would have rather had in the team than DB10 and TH14.

Supporters need to get it into their heads that the team from 03-05 was exceptional. Teams like that come around once in a lifetime and measuring our players today by that yardstick is totally unrealistic.

There are some in our squad that are without doubt not good enough, but Giroud is not one of them. He's a decent striker playing in a side where he is being asked to do an almost impossible task. There are very few players out there that could fulfil that role. Aguero is a class striker, as is Suarez, but neither of them could do that job. Would that make them shit?

Not many Spud, I just think we should be buying and playing better players than this 'player' He struts about as though he's better than he is, he's safe in the knowledge that his position is pretty much guaranteed, I also disagree with what most fans say about him I think he's lazy, flash and his histrionics get on my tits, the sooner he's replaced with someone of decent quality the better! IMO, he's an option off the bench at best but because he's been played to death through no competition and has a cringy loud song for him he's revered among the majority.

Yes spuddy that team was exceptional BUT what people are saying is that we haven't got even 1 player, not one, that is good enough to get into that team Some refer back to that team as a defence mechanism but the reality is that nobody expects another AFC team to be that good, but are perfectly entitled to feel that at least 2 or 3 players in this team should be good enough to challenge for places in that team

Sid thinks Wilshere would have gotten into that team...

What you need to ask yourself, is would Giroud get in any of the teams that finish above us and beat us season in and season out, and the answer is no!!! I'm not comparing him to Henry, Bergkamp or even Wright, but to his "peers" and compared to them he is indeed shite.

No he wouldn't, but then they mostly play with one out and out striker too. Even the mousers with their SAS shite actually only had one striker, the other was playing as a support role.

I think Giroud is a lot better than people give him credit for.

Augie, I don't really think you can even compare players from that team to this. That team only had one real opponent, Manure. This team has the Chavs, Citeh, Mousers, Toffees and dare I say it 'the scum' to compete against. At the time of Henry et al Arsenal were in a different class to any of those teams. I would ask you how many of todays players in the EPL would get into that team.
You also have to ask how good some of the players in that team would have faired elsewhere. Would Henry have been the goal machine had he signed for Man City?

Sometimes I think that a collection of individuals really gel to become an excellent team. Some players who can look very ordinary can excel in the right set up. The best example of this I can recall was Steve Hodge. At Forest he was superb, went to the scum and was shit then went back to Forest and was superb again. He then went to Leeds and was shite again. Some players suit a particular style and look good as a result.

Even before Giroud was injured we needed to sign a quality striker as he was never top class now we need two.Mark my words we will go for Remy He's French

After most death riding him for the past 12 months this should be a joyous thread. We may just find out how valuable he is......

compared with sanogo, yes.

compared with cavani/falcao...no

It's simple - if you only have rice, and you get fucked off with having rice every day, but someone takes it away and doesn't replace the rice then yes - you miss it.
