I think it's safe to say Giroud is now better than Benzema.

I think the only sure comment is that OG is a bigger bender, nothing more.

the day he arrived.

[halfsharkalligatorhalfman]

I was a bit shocked to see your faith in him slipping tbh

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I think you know where I am going here.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

in response to buying players already adapted to the league.

Have a feeling he's what Wenger thought he was initially getting with Chamakh - a target man and finisher who can also create goals for other players. Squad definitely needed a player like him.

We won't sign him though

[halfsharkalligatorhalfman]

I mean if Giroud keeps up this form then he has a right to expect a starting spot for the majority of the season. So unless we switch formation, the only striker we can hope for is a slightly less **** back-up option than Chamakh

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I am not a fan.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

play up top by themselves with pace. I'm not sure if that exists. Llorente is similar to Giroud, but he will be available at a bargain basement price. Either way, i think we need another one, so we have an option from the bench that isn't Chamakh.

Not Theo Walcott btw...

[C&B]

We play one up front so a big-name signing is a direct challenge to Giroud which would be a surprise. Someone willing to sit on the bench a lot initially would be an option.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Bale didn't do his team any favours abandoning his defensive duties.

[halfsharkalligatorhalfman]

And our other wingers weren't so god-awful. Speaking of which, Gerv isn't back for ages, right?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[JJSB]

Think I heard that mentioned today, one header out of his 20 odd goals. He scored three headers for us in a week recently!

I thought we may have had a good player in Giroud since the West Ham game.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[JJSB]

Scored again from a cross today. I think he's better feeding off wide service in the air or on the deck than the one on one type chances.
