Eh

Giroud has 1 goals and 4 assists in just over 9 games in the league this season. He's only played over an hour 7 times and over 70 minutes 3 times. It really isn't a terrible record.

I much prefer judging based on his record with us, and as a second choice striker laat season he got the job done.

If he's cheap I think we'd be mad not to re-sign him because we have to spend our money in other positions this summer, so we can't be replacing Welbeck with an expensive signing.

This.

I loved having Giroud as a super sub, just not as our main striker.

If he's happy spending most of his time on the bench then its a no brainer!

With all the cup games and games we need to rest our starters he'd still get plenty games.

I'd love him as a super sub!
Wembley:
Community Shield @6-8-'23 = 1*-1 Manchester City

Emirates Stadium:
First game @10-9-'11 = 1 - 0 Swansea
Most memorable game @24-2-'22 = 2 - 1 Wolves
Last game @14-04-'24 = 0 - 2 Aston Villa
Next game @4-05-'24 = VS Bournemouth [ No ticket yet ]

If he wants consistent first team game time, then don't get him.

If he's ok with staying on the bench and being our backup/cup striker, then get him.

It aint rocket science.

He’d do great at a club like Leicester, Everton, Newcastle. All teams who like to cross the ball.
