giroud works well with a lot of people because he knows his limitations (of which there are many) and tries to make sure his teammates get set up. problem with sanchez, though, is he screws up spacing for other people.
Statistically they have no chemistry I think Sanchez only has gotten two assists off Giroud and zero the opposite way. Sanchez is a soloist.
people saying there is a falling out, i dont think so. Wenger simply things Alexis is a better fit, Giroud hasn't said anything in public, and is happy to be on the bench. sometimes people get too melodramatic, like this thing with Ospina in CL games, we don't know what happens behind the scenes.
Time to drag this old thread out of hibernation! https://www.arsenal.com/news/girouds-scorpion-kick-wins-puskas-award That's fantastic! FIFA gave it to him for all the world, when the BBC didn't even give it to him for the EPL! And he's very deserving of accolades IMHO. Not least because he's maintained a loyal, positive attitude in recent years even as he's been often relegated to striker #2 or super sub. Well done, Olivier.
I am a fan of Giroud and I think he has offered a great return on investment but at this point I would like to see what the young lad can offer in league at tail end of matches http://www.espn.co.uk/football/arse...nketiah-will-always-score-goals-thierry-henry
Those same words could probably be spoken about Rashford. They probably have already. IOW we should be psyched about this kid!
For many fans, Olivier will be missed for his attitude, his loyalty, his scorpion!, his amazing Goals-per-90 and for some... his looks. Hopefully you will reap some positive effects from this move. I for one will miss you being in our squad, even if it was lately just as super-sub. Bon chance. This was posted elsewhere... I spent five and a half amazing years within the arsenal family. This beautiful story ends today. Thank you for your warm welcome. I would like to especially thank the fans for their unconditional support upon my arrival #nananana #ThankYou pic.twitter.com/GofNGAi3pW— Olivier Giroud (@_OlivierGiroud_) January 31, 2018
