He was tearing up "EL teams". Giroud was also the competition's top scorer if you forgot. I and many others don't believe the hype around CHO. When/if he ever delivers note worthy numbers, I might reconsider.
I meant recently. It used to be rather effective when they were reaching semis/finals, but it's certainly isn't as effective & probably wouldn't have been had Alison been playing. One slip up changed everything.
Sooner people realised that the club effectively buckled because of Bayern, the better. Also, I still believe he would have jumped ship had he not been out long term.
