I used to be a bit anti Giroud but I've grown to really appreciate him. Great second choice striker, if you're chasing a game there's not many I would put in front of him. If you're defending for your life you can reply on him defending corners, free kicks etc and most importantly I think he genuinely loves the club and appreciates the opportunity he has been given here. The ex pros also seem to have a very high opinion of him as a back up striker too. He can frustrate at times but i would sooner have him than not have him.
