Since then he has won the World Cup, champions league, FA Cup and the shield. He’s also amongst France’s all time goal scorers. People can ridicule him and deny his contributions in the trophies but he’s done well and has had a very meaningful career. Good bit of scouting by Wenger.

For a big slow man he had very good close control and finish, if he had been blessed with pace he may have been a player in the mix of all time greats,
I loved when we got him thinking he would be a plan B of total difference with aerial threat but he was actually better technically than he was a aerial threat.
I didn't rate him but he was far better than alot we have had.

Deschamps did not need to stick with him. He could’ve started Benzema years ago. He could have played Mbappe through the center and Greizman and Dembele off him. But he didn’t. He chose to stick with Giroud. Same with Wenger. He could have started Laca over Giroud but mostly played Giroud. The fact is his link up play and presence in the box is fantastic. He also gives you goals which is necessary as the center forward. He’s underrated.
