Spies at the game tell me Wenger has been noticeably unimpressed with Giroud

look when they play the game. Even Beckham wasn't that bad. And he puts most of his effort into rolling around on the floor and flicking his fingers pretending to be really hurt.

Sick of him disappearing in our big games. Sick of the 'sacre bleu' eyes to the sky at every fluffed chance.

Imagine how many goals we would have had, had we had a top striker?

a clinincal finisher. He has produced some wonderful finishes, but he's not consistent.

He's decent but not the top drawer striker we need

Obviously RvP was a much better striker.

If RvP got behind a defender, he was usually away. In Giroud's case he is always catchable. That first chance inside a minute, if he had pace he would have taken a touch and then finished. Giroud had to take it first time as if he had taken a touch, the defender would probably have got back at him. In any case it was a **** effort and he should have scored that one.

Same as in previous years when we tried to sign defensive midfielders and gave up.
