I am pissed today hearing about Olivier Giroud three year contract and salary he is earning.That is unfair because Giroud does not deserve it.He has not worked to

average for arsenal than good at most times.I would have sold him if i was Wenger because he does not deserve to be leading the line still after 3 years and i doubt he will like to warm the bench.He is very lucky to have Wenger as a coach of arsenal london fc.Arsenal has not
moved forward because we think getting rid of players is a bad thing.We always hesitate when it comes to selling players we do nt need.Arsenal need a world class cf not a world class cf.Its is time to
move forward by addressing our mistakes.Since Van persie left we have needed a cf and ifBenzema is available we need to get rid of who we do nt need so that we
move forward.Arsenal do not need Giroud though many may be against my speech.Once the premier league starts and Giroud is our main cf it
shows that Wenger has not learnt from his mistakes.Just as we got Cech who to me was a need he needs to just find as a reliable and clinical cf.
