Olivier Giroud

[Jonty]

I really cannot believe how much I have grown to like Giroud, as I did Fabregas before him. A striker who puts himself about physically as you want from any number 9, but also has the ability and attitude to play selflessly and make everyone around him better.

Same with Ash: work your socks off for Chelsea, do well, and we are willing to overlook the indiscretion of having been an Arsenal player.

 

[Deino]

It seems good Arsenal players become better as they join us. 

He singlehandedly schooled all 3 United CBs in 1 game. Brilliant. 

With Ziyech coming in,  Giroud'll be even more effective when we need him. 

 

[the special one]

BBC interviewer: "Olivier, another FA Cup final to come for you, you like this competition don't you?"
Giroud: "Well, ah, yeah, I said to MY boys, err, in the dressing room I would love to weeen another one"

 

[Bluesince66]

Definitely got to keep sexy giroud for next season. 

 

[Jonty]

7 goals in his last 9 starts. Tough to see him not getting first crack at the starting job next season on this form.

 

[erskblue]

He is a one man strike force at times.

His reading of the play and his ability to find space and to put defenders in situations and positions they don’t want to be in is different class.

What a player Giroud is. He made sure we got top 4, now get us the FA cup please.

 

[evissy]

What a beauty he is. As a man and a player. We really need him next season as well.

 

[Blue Exile]

I remember mocking arsenal for having this guy, just didn’t rate him. How wrong can you be. I think he’s found a little place in everyone’s heart after this season. 

Now let’s rub THEIR noses in it and put a cherry on top of this year.

A Giroud winner in the final would be marvellous.

A Giroud winner in the final would be marvellous. 

Agreed It  would be Roy of the Rovers stuff.?

 

[Brutos]

The period where Lampard froze him out almost cost us top 4 there is a reason even with all the attacking talent for France he always plays

 

[mojo]

At the age of 33, he recently became the oldest player to score in five consecutive Premier League starts, taking over from Jamie Vardy.

Agreed.

I disagree. Abraham was scoring for fun at that point, everything just happened at the right time.

Batshuayi wasn’t and Giroud was behind him. 

 

[Brutos]

Batshuayi wasn’t and Giroud was behind him. 

Exactly this

 

[Malcolm9]

I think Bats played over Giroud at first because Frank was thinking Bats and Tammy are more similar in their play style and mobility, as the season went on and Giroud got his chance it was clear we work better with him playing.

 

[Bonzodog29]

Batshuayi wasn’t and Giroud was behind him. 

Bats strikes me though as the sort of player who is on fire during training each week, but then falls apart when needed. (this is purely speculation just a feeling) but I can see him banging them in from all angles during the week.
