I never called him a top finisher. In fact I am not saying he is close to that.

I am downing the midfield because it isnt good enough. I am downing the midfield because it isnt good enough, lol.

All I am saying is I refuse to write him off after 7 months. Drogba wasnt finishing shyt his first season in England, and that all turned out fine.

Even Adebayor was shyt at finishing his first 18 months.

I agree here.
Giroud is worse as a striker than the midfield is as a midfield. If Giroud manages to up his speed considerably and is able to create the chances for himself that those two could and take them at the rate they were, then fair enough, he'll be great, but at the moment he isn't scoring goals at a rate that will get Arsenal into the CL let alone challenge for anything.

Well whats their asking price? Because if you look at it, his contract ends next summer and he hasnt been a regular starters for United in a while nor is he that important to them, so i doubt they can get that much for him.

around 20 million for him i think. HE was nearly sold to zenit but his wage demands killed that move.



@Abso831
SAF was mad at him for not holding the ball up which led to that loss against Chelsea in Capital one cup :pachaha:


he has been back from injury for a while now . Once SAF holds a grudge :ufdup: remember BErbatov and that miss in the FA cup 2 years ago ?:pachaha:



@mastermind
:usure:

Arsenal got one of the best midfield in the PL.

Some places was guaranteed trouble, but when you're young that shyt keeps you coming back, bouncers would beat the life out of people too lol




:pachaha:


can you believe I once saw a bouncer do an off the cuff tombstone piledriver on a breh on top of a curb, take the dudes shoe off, beat the dudes face with it whilst he was :dead: and then proceed to toss him into the :trash:


I miss being 17 :blessed:

I do not disagree with you.

My point is I am willing to give him another season.


And I have no idea how this good of a striker he is, tbh. I want to see him settled, a year under his belt, and a year with Jack.

If its February of next year, and he looks like this, you know I am quick to throw a player into the bushes.

and Manchester City are the 2nd best team in the PL. What does that mean?

Why does he deserve that chance? What do you see in him?

Because I have seen him improve over the last 5 months.

I also think his lay offs and setting up chances for others have been a positive for the attack. He and Theo have good chemistry too.

Fair enough, I like him a lot outside of his very worrying finishing and also, to a lesser extent, his lack of pace. But if he doesn't improve in front of goal this season then there better be someone brought in to put some in the net next year.
