Olivier Giroud

[BexleyGooner]

Better strike rate than RVP, whose record was padded with one extraordinary last season, after which he decided to piss off.

Giroud knows he won't start all the games, been offered the chance to leave but told Wenger he wants to stay because he loves the club.

How can you not love the guy. Need more like him.

[Angelito]

^ van Persie didn't join us in his peak as Giroud did though. Unfair comparison.

There are other dynamics involved as well but too bored to go through them.

Giroud is a limited player, but does perform an important role at both ends of the pitch... and he seems to score vital goals for us.
Given he seems to actually want to play for us, I would rather have him as a player than someone like Van Persie, whose career at Arsenal was below average anyway (even though he had more talent).

He was great again but unlucky with the players around him who cannot finish especially welbeck

[Va-Va-Voom]

I need to know how Welbeck starts ahead of Giroud.

[Cripps]

Wenger says hi

[GoonerAlexandre]

Sells him the dream of challenging with Lacazette for the starting spot

Starts Welbeck ahead of both

[GoonerAlexandre]

This guy watched Welbeck start ahead of him and Lacazette after opting to stay despite interest. Imagine that....

[Arsenal~Fanatic]

I need to know how Welbeck starts ahead of Giroud.

Wenger has taken it to the next level.

You need to ask ''I need to know how Welbeck starts ahead of Giroud and Lacazette''

[Kite33]

This guy has to start from now on otherwise we are done. He has the class the will and power. When i saw welbeck today i almost choked from my oatmeal

[Callum]

I'm all for Giroud acting as a super-sub when we're starting Lacazette but man, seeing him on the bench in place of Welbeck baffles me.

[BS221B]

He is starting against Netherlands tonight.

1 game, get a grip

[Nuggets]

We are going to need the big man to secure 6th place

[Kite33]

They can't deal with him he is so strong. He has to start every game for us
