he showed some pace in getting forward for his goal yesterday
i think Giroud doesnt get enough credit, he's doing well for his first season in english football, he could have got more goals but too many negative people about nowadays...understand why, we've been through shit last few years but he's looking good so far, hope he gets better each season.
maybe if Giroud had played against Bradford, maybe he would have a league cup in his first season in english football...
if you think Giroud is three reallys bad
do you find watching most football hugely stressful and upsetting?
if your opinion is consistent
the vast majority of players that you've ever seen must be dreadful at the game...
If Arsenal as a club were honest about their ambitions then it wouldn't be so bad.
Giroud is the type of footballer that will have you punting around in 4th, 5th, 6th. And thats fine, if indeed 4th, 5th, 6th is the sum total of your ambition.
But when you harp on about wanting to challenge for the very best trophies, a player of Girouds calibre just ain't gonna get you them. Hand on heart JD, in any other top league, that's top league, in European football which club in the top 2 of those leagues do you think would make a sizeable offer for him and have him spearhead their assault on first place?
He's a bit like Bendtner in that some of the parts of his game cannot be improved on any more. His touch. Thats as good as its ever gonna get now. Ever.

didnt he strike Montpellier to the Ligue 1 title over big spending PSG? French league might not the biggest of European leagues but still has some good teams...Drogba came from Marseille after all.
I say give him time, he's already surpassed Drogba's first season stats but Drogba stepped into a title winning calibre side, thats a big difference. He's a good addition to the squad and has the right attitude, unlike Bendtner who you mentioned.
