Was the Arsenal fanbase too hard on Giroud - France's all time leading goalscorer?

[GoonerJeeves]

@GoonerJeeves he has a brother

Can we sign him?

Sh*t player.

It pains me that we had Özil in his prime forced to try to accommodate this bumbling cretin.

If we had Higuain or Suarez leading the line in 2013 when he arrived, we'd have won the league at a canter.

Other than the posters who are attracted to him, nobody actually rates him. They’re just trolling.

If we had Giroud up front in Paris in 06, we'd have a champions league to our name.

This thread is about Giroud, not Teta.

The mere existence of this thread speaks volumes about the last decade of this club.

WTF is this thread?

Nevertheless, what I said needed to be read.

The fact this imbecile has overtaken Henry as France's leading goalscorer tells you all you need to know about the state of football in general these days.

I wouldn't have thought that handball is still a sore topic these days.

 

[GDeep™]

We would’ve won the league had a we a decent reliable striker to go with Özil. I think Giroud cost us a lot, while he as a striker did develop here and took those skills elsewhere to get success.

Giroud was peak Wengerball management. I see him still delivering and I wonder why our conmanager keeps asking for money and players instead of just managing what he has. Turning them into players far better than they had any right to be, like Wenger did with Giroud.

 

[Batman]

Kai Havertz was on pace pre-injury last season to put up better numbers than any season of Giroud's career with Ghostegaard feeding him rather than Özil and Cazorla. I think that tells us all we need to know.

If you like Wenger, you have to hate Giroud. No player let him down more and opened him up to more abuse than this big stiff idiot.

TBF this works both ways. If you hate Giroud's performances, which you should. Then you should be annoyed Wenger didn't try harder to upgrade or give him competition way earlier. We missed out on Higuain in 2013 and could easily have bought him then. He'd add more to the team than Özil because we were already stacked with creative players. Wenger could also have signed Vardy but decided to not give him an improved deal over what Leicester were offering.

I don't think so. Giroud and Özil often linked well especially with Ramsey making those late runs
