Olivier Giroud

[ALLCAPS_]

I don't get the whole "Giroud is an average striker" line.

Against what company are you measuring him? No debate that he's not at the level of Aguero, Suarez, Lewondowski etc but to say an international player who has many goals in the champions league and premier league is average is foolish.

Keep him. Keep ox. Keep wilshere. Keep ramsey. Keep gibbs. Keep them all

the beauty of foes.......

[Nuggets]

The big man will never leave us.

[coach8smallball]

after today, he's destined to stay!

[KG3]

Anyone else think he looks worse in formation?

Reckon it's because he's used to playing with a CAM/SS as he has done with his Montpellier, France and Arsenal for the last 7 years or so.

Yep, not the formation for him. We had a lot more penetration after Welbeck came on (that's what she said!).

[coach8smallball]

a ghost today......and peeps on here want to keep him....LOL BWAHHAHAHAHHAHAH he's a joke

[Cripps]

He is finished.

[Kite33]

Very good game. The City players were satisfied when he went off. Kompany stopped him with bad fouls

[Pudpop]

Been subbed in both 343 games cos he's been anonymous.

I expect Wenger will start dat guy on Wednesday

[Sims]

doesn't fit a 343 whatsoever

needs to be a dynamic striker up top to work for us as we have mesut on the right

[Nuggets]

He is a legend.

[Sims]

marseille apparently will bid up to £20m for him

make it £25m and ill snap their hands off
