Is Giroud one of the worst Arsenal players?I don't think so.Yes we can agree that he is not worldclass but he is better than average players but he can be called one dimensional player with no plan b if things are not going his way.I say this because I had an argument with Arsenal fan Serial WUManiser on Arsenal board that he is not one of the worst players to have played for Arsenal.

Does anyone agree with me?Fellow Chelsea fans?
WUMs will be deleted!
Is Giroud one of the worst Arsenal players?

IMO Torres is a vastly superior player to Giroud; however his spell at Chelsea just didn’t work out.
Even if Giroud‘s transfer fee was in the realms of £40/£50m his contribution to Arsenal vastly surpasses Torres’ impact for Chelsea.

Not really a fair comparison to bring value in to it, the comparison was being two players, not the value they represented. Torres is clearly terrible value but this discussion was about players on the pitch, not an investment in the club.

Take the value out of it if you want, still both had around 100 games and Giroud scoring twice more.
Btw, I'm not a fan of Giroud but saying that the Torres from Chelsea is better that is just taking the pi$$.

If you consider both players’ entire careers, Torres is undoubtedly the better player.
When Arsenal spent £12m on Giroud most knew that he was not a world class forward. When Chelsea paid £50m for Torres they would have expected world class performances.
IMO to compare both players contributions to their respective clubs the price paid is imperative.

I wasn't comparing them mate....are they even the same age...?
Not sure Torres has been that good in Italy so far either - I think he was a lot quicker at Ath Mad & Liverpool, he got injured & lost his main weapon - initial speed over ten/fifteen yards
The writing was on the wall after that

Giroud also cheated on his wife and I wouldnt want any players like that to be associated with our club.

I didn't say he was better, in fact I gave no opinion on how the two compared, just pointing out that it was the players being discussed, not the transfers.
