Olly has been playing in the Champions League for 6 years and is France's 7th highest goalscorer ever. You think he'll be placated by the odd game against FC Chicken Kiev?Originally Posted by Ash
Giroud gets 90 minutes on thursday, and another 90 the following week.Doesn't Lacazette deserve a chance against tired defenders when we're one-nil up?
What I didn't reveal in my previous post is that if my assumption is right, I would be horrified.
Yes, you may well be right that Arsene is placating Giroud. At the expense of the bloke who was bought to be better than him, and now gets to sixty minutes in every game knowing that he has just ten minutes to score before getting the hook. What does that do for him?
It ought to tell him to get a move on. It's the same in FIFA; as a new, young player, you only usually get an hour to make your mark, earn your points, so you'd better get on with it.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Fúck Giroud, quite frankly.
He is being placated to the tune of about 80k per week and chose to stay with us in the summer, knowing that Lacazette had arrived, and also knowing that we were willing to allow him to leave.
I personally find the substitution policy with AL to be beyond bizarre. Almost like a manager who no longer really knows what is best to do but is bumbling along.
I imagine he promised Giroud that although he'd often be on the bench he wouldn't just get thrown on in the last seconds and would at least have enough time to make his mark and potentially force his way back into the team.
I imagine....
If that is the case (a bit like with your theory last year with the keepers), it is quite frankly a crap idea, you don't propmise any player anythig, you make them earn the right to be on the pitch with how they do in training etc.

Yes, well the scenario I suggested took place could very easily have been framed in the way you describe, and indeed I would expect it to have been.
It is indeed very possible and plausible (for you) however must be balanced with any potential negative impact it is having on the confidence or whatever of our number one striker, the player deemed so good by AW as to pay £50m for.
In any case such an agreement would be weak management, forcing himself into a corner where he perhaps feels obliged to give a player a little run from the bench irrespective of what is occurring. Lacazette tearing up the opposition but it is now 65 minutes so OG time.
I am appalled you seem to endorse such behaviour.
Monty out!
Erm, I said if it's true I would be appalled.
Where did you say that?
