It's only Giroud...
It's against QPR and Wigan. Can't say I'm all that scared.
Both options better than Giroud on current form.
Are they? Walcott hasn't scored for months and months and is not a striker.
We may end up seeing Gervinho up front.

Fulham really did look much of a threat despite Arsenal's defending.
As normal, you're grasping at straws. Enjoy your loss to City tomorrow when Lennon or Bale injure themselves again.
No decent strikers were available in January.

No evening game tonight? fuck off.
He can run really fast. He'll be perfect.

There were plenty we just didn't want to spend the money that we needed to pay for them.
We bought one. He isn't great, but he was available
Sturridge would be far better for Arsenal than Giroud.
Only because the rest of the team was crap. So who will we use for the next game? Walcott? Podolski? Gervinho? Wenger will probably go with Podolski or Gervi.

Don't be like that!
It shouldn't exactly be a surprising opinion that a 3 match ban for your 1st choice striker is a negative for you.

Perhaps. I think Giroud would be better for us than he is for Arsenal
I'd say poor Wolves fans, but they can fuck off
No thank you. When we buy a striker we want a quality one, not a quantity one. Had be brought him then Wenger would play the numbers game again and not get us the quality up front that today again showed we're missing.We bought one. He isn't great, but he was available
Yes, 1st choice striker who is woefully out of form, low on confidence and blowing our best chances to score. If it was Arteta or Cazorla who got the red card it would be a massive blow but Giroud is not that much of a loss when you take into account his form for a while now.
Oh right. Only your 2nd top scorer let's just forget about him.
RVP scoring the title winning goal at the Emirates is gonna be glorious.
Where's Farid.
I want the tears.
I think Giroud would be better off just disappearing back to France.

Nah, he was gash up front in almost every game against a decent back 4. There is a reason Wenger stopped doing that. Giroud is Arsenal's main striker and one of their highest scorers.
Wenger will have to change a winning team which is always dangerous. Arsenal still have quality so I expect it won't affect them too much, but their striking options aren't ideal.

2nd top scorer, mentioning that by itself makes him look better than what he is. He wasted many chances and he's slow. Taking his horrible attacking and finishing into consideration makes him much less important. He's shit, period.
Just looking at the ESPN stats for the league he's up there level with Walcott and just behind Cazorla.
Given how we play he should be top scorer by a mile if he was half decent. He gets the best chances almost every game.
And I couldn't give a shit about what United do. I'm only concerned about us.

What do you mean even Higuain? He's been quality for Madrid, but has been lackluster the past 2 seasons. He's a great striker. The problem is that Real Madrid want the best of the best and his form doesn't coincide with the caliber of players Real Madrid have elsewhere. Most teams would be happy to have Higuian.
