on the flip side drogba only scored more than league 12 goals in a season twice in 8 years
Giroud wasn't as bad as we all made out i think with hindsight most rational people realise that, he deserves a huge amount of respect, to be playing in french league 2 at 23 to end up scoring 100+goals for arsenal is phenomenal, he got the most out of his ability.
Giroud was a decent player, the fact he has a similar record to drogba shouldn't be used to turn giroud into something he isn't or to downplay drogba, for whatever reasons it seems drogba did have some up and downs at cheslea but if anything the fact he achieved what he did at chelsea whilst everything wasn't always plain sailing shows the character of the man.
