Could have really used him tonight with all the high balls to Hazard. 

[Special Juan 27,421]

Could of used any striker...oh wait we didn't plan for this did we.

£15m. 2nd choice striker has upgraded. Is available for all competitions. Only 1.5 years on the contract. Fulfills Conte’s need for a target man. A fantastic beard. Lots of positives tbh. 

Good on paper yeah. We have heard that story before. We get average player and pick all the positives, disregard the negatives and pretend he will save the season. 

Fact is he wasnt good enough to lead Arsenal. Simple. 

We needed a striker that can provide damn competition for Morata and decently replace him when he doesnt play. Giroud is nothing like that. You know we will play average when Giroud will play in 1st eleven, we dont have to kid ourselves. 

He is good player to come from bench and replace Morata for final 20min, there he is better than Bats probably. But hell Bats actualy had quite respective amount of goals from bench.

 The problem was when he was starting the games. He just wasnt good enough. But guess what, neither is Giroud. 

Its a cheap gap fill that will show many flaws, no improvement and we will be soon on look for another striker. 

With the season looking poor we should either keep Bats and look for quality striker in summer, or get quality striker this january. But we went for something in the middle, another average striker in the squad, 20m gone and we havent improved 1st 11 anyhow. 

Im not always pessimist, but fans have to stop making signings like Drinkwater, Giroud quality. These are average at best and literaly only for the bench, or when we dont have first options available. But honestly right now, we should be buying players who are good enough to push for 1st eleven.

Our team has so many average players its ridiculous. I know we need more depth, but filling bench with more average players wont make us strong again. 

We have to finish top 3 and it looks like the team desperately needs more quality in attack. We did absolutely nothing again to improve it. There is Bailey, there is Mahrez who are available for certain price. We wont be getting them for cheap or anyone else of their quality. But its clear we need those kind of quality players now.

Maybe I am in the minority here but I really like this signing. I like Giroud as a striker. His finishing is horrible but his link up play is great which is important for our team.

I believe he will do very well for us.

I think he will do fine too, I just do not like how Conte expressed he must asses his physical condition yesterday days after he featured for Arsenal at Swansea.

We cannot go with the false 9 again, we simply cannot.

Maybe he is injured I don't know. 

But I agree completely with you, everything looks so wrong with our team playing with false 9.

Poor bloke.... Might not be with him for long.. 

[Superblue 6,370]

Although he didn't see much of the ball I saw enough that he gave us a focal point when he came on and a genuine threat up front that helped push Watford back for the first time in the match. It also opened up Hazard to be able to drift around and come deep to get the ball which we needed him to do to march us down the pitch. 

It massively asks questions over Conte's decision to not start him.
