His performance today summed him up. He wasn't bad by any means. In fact, he had a decent game. But he needs 4-5 chances to score 1. He's all huff and puff.
Even his famed link up play is a myth. I constantly lose count of the amount of times an attack breaks down cause of him. He's very indecisive with the ball at his feet.
To be blunt. He's an option B player being used as a ln option A. He's just not good enough. Never has been. Never will be.
Giroud Is So Average It's Astounding

I agree March2k. Pogba was just a pipe dream.
I think we need to concentrate on pacey striker long before spending nutty money on a midfielder when Ramsey or Wilshere could still develop to be top class players.

I totally wouldn't mind Lacazette as CF but that is not certain of course.
I also believe we need another dm because let's face it, Coq was an emergency solutuion and our other options are past it.

Yes. I agree. Coq has been great defensively but his release forward is just not up to it at the moment. But you don't have to spend £20m+ on that player. Real Madrid didn't spend anything ridiculous on Lucas Silva.

I think Coq is limited in two ways.
Firstly, I don't think he has the physicality to dominate an opposition player. He's more like a terrier biting and snapping at the heels of the opposition as opposed to someone who can dominate space like a Matic or Kondogbia
Secondly, like a couple here have said, I think his forward play isn't really up to scratch. I think we've really missed Arteta in that respect, who's intelligent use of the ball is really underrated.

Yeah Chris its all pretty obvious. Amazing how Wenger doesn't see it. Look at the time wasted with Mertesacker and not anticipating that Arteta was losing his legs.
Wenger's over the top defence of Giroud is just painting Giroud into a corner.

Hope people watch Monaco-PSG tonight regarding Cavani
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't worry abt Cavani gt. Man Utd will get him first if he leaves PSG. Maybe they will buy Giroud to replace him. (I am not joking).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have nothing against Cavani, J99.
He is not the profilic striker that create chance after chance for himself and watching alone his performance tonight I dont think he is clinical.

Few players can fashion chances for themselves out of nothing. This is what strikers of Agueros level do.
All we ask for is someone who would offer us more reliability in finishing, quicker movement and pace to stretch defences and better all round play (1st touch and passing) than Giroud.
It's not a crime to ask for something better for our club GT, it's not like we are married to him.

March, really dont know what you are on about.
People asking for another striker and when people give me names I hear Cavani again and again for example. Apart from the fact if he is available (I dont know) people needs to be honest and not get their hatred against OG hype up another striker like Cavani who is not worth the money he is currently rated on.

And to be honest March....I really wish OG would leave at the end of this season. The critics he has to burden at times are unbearable.
