Nothing you could ever do to Giroud would ever make him come good just nothing.Its not a formation set up that gets a player to dribble, score, be world class, be dependable, wow the crowd and the like.Its the players» own ability that makes him do that.Once you don't have it ya ain't gat it brother.Read my lips!!!!! Once ya don't have it ya ain't gat it.As simple as ABC.So I expect this to be another de ja vu case and waste of time if Giroud and Alexis are paired.I'm even shocked it's coming from Henry.He should rather be giving us more reasons why we need a new
striker and why we would fail if we don't get the new
striker.Forget Giroud's stats
for a moment and judge him by how he plays when you are watching him.You would realize that given the same
chances at Arsenal
strikers who are not even world class can do better.I want a new
striker even if not world class and to be honest its not necessarily a world class
striker that wins you a league but just increases the
chances of winning it.Peace!!!!
goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something when Giroud misses many
chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has Giroud as the main cf and Welbeck as backup to him.Giroud has done well scoring some goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based on content.Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him
for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of play is ok
for us but a
striker who can take on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.
For Welbeck he needs to works on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of goal too much.
For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck
for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but as the saying goes if you fool me once shame on you but if you fool me twice shame on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?
Reading the thread on this article and I noticed a lot of people naming
strikers we could have gotten in past transfer windows that have gone to other club and failed, Balotelli, Falcao, Martinez, Boney etc are recurring names in all the comments, and am sat here thinking because they failed in thee clubs does not necessarily mean they would have failed if we had pulled out our fingers and hot them back then, Balotelli aside I strongly believe all of these players could have made a difference playing infront of our midfield and given the kind of attention and care Wenger gives Giroud and Walcott, adapting our play to suit them and giving them
chances after
chances even when its blatantly obvious they are average players so please lets not keep using that as an excuse
for Wenger's ultra careful attitude in the transfer market, they could have failed with us, or they could have been massive
for us, all speculations.
To all giroud bashers, who claimed other

striker to convert more of the

chances and breaking the premier league record
This is exactly the type of versatile player that Arsenal need right now, as he can play as a winger or a

I personally don't, he misses too many
chances to be relied on Had it not been
for Moses, we'd have dropped points cause he missed a one - on - one, same way we dropped points in the 2 - 2 against Arsenal cause he missed 3 (THREE) one - on - ones I really think we should be looking
for a reliable
striker, and start considering putting Morata on the bench
