I'm with you there mate.He's just an average player beign given many chances.A lot of average strikers can even do better because of the chances Arsenal creates.There are some strikers who are not top quality but have very good finishing that if given the same seasons and chances Giroud has had they can do better.I hate it when they make it seem like only world class strikers are better than him.He's really only improved from season 14/15 honestly speaking.He used to be so bad and waste a lot of chances.It's just that become can not see the fact that he's not as good as they think.We will surely be vindicated by his performance for another club.

I thought people here were debating about two or three seasons back why he should be our top striker.When I thought the Monaco match was the icing on the cake to show how average he was it seems just like Wenger we» will never learn our lesson.Now people our okay with him being a super sub which is debatable.Giroud was a super sub in games last season because he wasn't played when he was supposed to.He's not your ideal super sub because he very hardly creates but rather requires people to create for him.Most of the time super subs are the one's who tend to create the chances and open up spaces in the opposition defence.West ham are ready to pay and hence we should demand more from them.We can then use the money from his sale on far better players.Given the same seasons, time and chances a lot of average strikers can do better than what he did.This is because Arsenal create a lot of chances and it just needs someone who can finish.Goodbye!.

I think the major reason Wenger did not sign a strong DM is because of Diaby, Wenger may think it s his last chance to prove what he is capable of and he is when fit so I expect to see a breaktrough or fail from Diaby.You have to admire the loyalty of Wenger on those kind of point, the team is still short of defender but I do think that a Diaby fit can be a good DM as he is tall, strong and technical.There is 3 new striker, Campbell and Sanchez who can play the wings and a tall, strong Wellbeck who can bully the defenders in the box, all three have pace so it s an upgrade on Giroud and Sanogo.

Ozil is one of Arsenal's kings of assists and produced hundreds of «chances», but most of his assists came from set pieces and most of his «chances» can not be converted by Lacazette (one of the best French strikers today) and Sanchez.

Welbeck needs to be give a decent run in the team as a striker before fans can start judging remember he played out on the left for a majority of games for man u and got very little chance to play as a striker hence thats why his goal scoring record looks nothing special but that can change with us he has good pace technically very good and i personally think he will do a good job just give him a chance!
