Just a quick question to the army of Giroud knockers,

What is his worth to our team?

Goals away at Liverpool and Everton, aswell as twice v City and a fantastic strike vs Man U.

He is starting to show up in the big games.

Even Bendtner scored once in a while. I still don't think he's good enough to win us the premier league. Can't remember him doing too much else. If we had lost today and he scored would we still be cheering him on after that performance? Great team display but for me he is doing a good job holding the ball but doesn't do enough to put us on the next level.

About 10 mil, that's what he cost and that's all he's worth. Good but not great. He doesn't thrill me sorry.

He should show up a little more often. In EPL its more about strike rate than who you score against

Loving the replies,

Guys of course we want more goals from our main striker, but you still can't see it, he is the one that brings others into the game gives them the space and time, occupies quality players like Kompany to allow our more expressive players like Santi like Sanchez like ox to cause the problems. His actual goals per game ratio is actually quite good, he is more an Alan smith type player, ask any of his teammates how they valued Alan smith and they would wax-lyrical about him just as Santi did today about giroud.

Fact is we are a much better TEAM with Giroud than without.

But how good would we be with wright henry or anelka

Sorry pressed wrong button, too many brandies. How much better would we be with the above, i'm sorry it's like comparing a donkey with a thoroughbred. I still maintain he's the worst regular number 9 we have had in 18 years. I just don't rate the guy. He definately won't be getting a statue, mind you he does do a good impression. We have got to aspire to better than him to scare opponents of note.

Steve.r we should not compare to wright and Henry, let's compare him to who is available on the market now and who will fit the style and formation is playing, who is there to do that role better?

Do you think there is another Henry lurking somewhere or even a wright?

My point is giroud is a fit for the formation and the players he plays with.

Would you rather see wellbeck play the lone role? Walcott? Bring back podolski let him do it?

9.) 19 Jan 2015
Honestly, I prefer welbeck, for the fear factor, I don't see walcott or pod as out and out strikers. A fit welbeck on the left sancez in the middle and a fit walcott or ox on the right, for me with what we have would be more dynamic and scarier. I rate giroud as a mid table prem striker, no more. He would be plan b.

This so called "style" got us 4th 2 seasons ago, 4th last season and we currently lie in 5th. So no offence
Shaneyd, but we can do much better with regards to our "style" which is currently not EPL winning style

11.) 19 Jan 2015
Rue, none taken as it is not I who chooses the formation,

I would much prefer we play giroud and wellbeck and giroud up front together or better still sign a top class centre forward but who is available?
