Giroud needs to be on the bench he's an average striker the chances he missed last season were unbelievable especially Chelsea at home is he better than bony, remy, lambert, benteke, lukaku I'm not too sure but I'm confident with our supply these guys would get the same amount of goals as giroud if not more so we need a new striker a world class striker we need a striker to finish off games

Name me one striker who doesn't miss chances?

Granted, he does miss a few, but how can you slate a guy who scored 17 in his maiden season, than 22 in his 2nd?

As a Manager/Chairman/Board of Director/Supporter, all you ever hope is the player(s) improve.

Has Giroud not improved?

Last season Giroud had to work harder than any other striker in the league playing both provider and top taker plus quit often defensive duties all as our only striker in almost every game.
This season we will see less quantity and much more quality from Olly

Yes he did improve last season but the half he played against Monaco summed him up for me lazy, spends to much time on floor for a big lad we do need better. I know your properly going to say its his first game un just a friendly but to me these games are used to get fit but he's not going to get fit standing on the halfway line.

Gunner62, I couldn't have said it better. I like Giroud, wit Mikel(perfect hair guy) most likely leavin. We need Giroud to take over th hair business on th pitch. Lol

Imired I certainly don't think any of those strikers you list are any better than Giroud, and certainly not for the 20 million quid upwards it would cost to get one. Show me a forward who doesn't miss chances? I watched a fair bit of Spanish football last season and despite the fact that Diego Costa had a good season with AM I still saw him miss plenty of chances. I agree that you might have more clinical finishers than Giroud, but if they don't play to our style like Giroud does then they won't be worth it anyway.
