League is very weak
I bashed him as a starter, can't deny that, even know I think he'll be a poor starter, but as a back up I have always championed him.
Glad he's staying.

Not often I quote goal.com...but it is nice to see loyalty from some of our players...top man!
I've spent 15 minutes yeaterday looking at a picture of him and Alex. Made me feel happy
I haven't quite forgiven him for that drought, and the celebration when he finally scored when we were out of all competitions, you'd think he'd scored the winning goal in a WC.His heading is on another level, it's insane how much power and accuracy he manages to get from it. I could definitely see him hit consistent 20+ goals for a team that played to his strengths more, he's made for set pieces and crosses. It's nice that we've found utility for him in our Wengerball system though, he's come up big for us many times. Shame that he had to hit a drought when we needed him most though, the season Leicester won the league. It's possible those games were the difference.
Hopefully this season is different... hopefully.
He got us a draw at United and a win on Friday to name a couple. Can't ignore that, as you say, he's good off the bench.Still don't rate or like him as a starter, but as a sub he's perfect really.
Probably the best backup ST off the bench in the league.
I prefer mobile forwards and a strong argument can be made for us performing better overall with Welbeck--or any quick mobile forward--leading the line over Giroud. I don't believe there is room for Welbeck anymore though, with the arrival of Lacazette. I very much doubt we'll see him much more of Welbeck when Alexis returns tbh.
No probably about it. He is the best backup in the league.Still don't rate or like him as a starter, but as a sub he's perfect really.

Not sure why this forum is either ice cold or boiling hot. There were literally like 5 of us who have said all along that Giroud is not of the quality to start but is too good to be on the bench. The rest of the forum were either "He's absolute garbage" or "He's the best striker in the world". FFS AM!
Enjoy this lads! We won't have this much firepower forever.
