sorry for me, Giroud is not good enough for us to win the premier league.

I don't remember him scoring against big 4, or a performance worthy of it.

Before season started I wished for top 4, now I still say best target is top 4. Ozil missing in big games.I still say Ramsay not there yet.

But Kosielny and Rosciky stars of the season, BFG too. punching above our weight i'm afraid.

Need a winger or astiker who can make the difference.

i would say Maybe Ben Arfa or Pato. Ballotelli would be immense.

Ben Afra isn't an improvement on what we have now. This is the biggest issue sometimes is that when we are having a bad trot everyone starts wanting change. Then Ben Afra comes in for example and has a bad few games or is injured then you'll be screaming that it was the worst signing. They've had a taxing schedule of late and I do agree that players do need to come in but we are joint first so we are right in the title race.

Come on man. Ballotelli has 9 goals in 20 this season, marginally better than Giroud's 10 in 23. And Pato has 17 in 57, in Brazil!

The Giroud-bashing is ridiculous - he's missed some good chances but has been overplayed and is visibly tired. He is still statistically one of the best strikers in Europe, works hard every game and contributes a lot. The problem is that we need more depth and competition in the CF position. Hoping we'll see a bit of Poldi next few games and a striker signed in Jan, but never underestimate Giroud's contribution.

Costa is what we need.

Ballotelli is a big game player. Ben Arfa Is a winger (which we do not have). That gives us more options then playing CM on the wings.
Pato has some real talent. and having the choice of playing Giroud all game when he wasn't effective, bringing on Bendtner, or signing Pato for 1/4 of the cost of Costa. and who can play Champions league.it's a no brainer.
1404 great input as usual, but it's ugly tree you hit not the palm
