Giroud has never been a proven goalscorer though.

I could so deal with these numbers, especially if he was only part-time (he will never get here again, he is too old)

but he was deffo a proven goal scorer at one time

 

20 goals a year on average for 7 straight years (and a couple of those years he missed a significant amount of games, especially 2014-15, when he broke his foot), and that 2011-12 season he almost singled-handedly carried a meh Montpellier side to the Ligue 1 title (the last game of the season was CRAZY, full stop riot and smoke bombs/fires, game was delayed for like 20 minutes as I recall)

He also had multiple years in double digit assists, and averaged out to around 7-8 per year for the 7 years.

At one point, he was a really good striker, a 24yo to 29 or 30yo Giroud was a beast.

Yeah fair enough his goalscoring record is actually a lot better than I thought it would be.

I would say so. 20 goals a season for 7 years in the PL. We should be so lucky.

But then Morata right nows on 9 with 900 mins and 18 games less that Willian. He MIGHT just get those 20.

5 years were EPL. 2 (only one was really big) were Ligue 1. But yes, 5 years of EPL 20 goals average.

19 goals in 21 games, all comps

and

instead our board is looking at an overweight, rapidly declining 31yo who has scored one goal since October and will probably cost around the same (within £10m either way or so)

if Real really want him they will get him, but not sure if it's what they really need, the player they are severely lacking is in the Mbappe and Neymar mold.

if i was Hazard i would just stay put here and become a legend, instead of going to that circus in Madrid, is he really going to reach that next level there? highly doubt it

I hope that we keep CHO so he can fight for his spot. He needs to be kept on his toes. Gets far too nonchalant at times!

what i dont understand is all this hype surrounding CHO and Bayern, the kid must be put in his place, work hard in training and fight for a place in the team like any real professional, look no futther than our own legend (Terry), any kid with quality that comes trough the academy can't think he will automatically get in to starting 11 and throw tantrums if he doesn't play, if you are good enough you will play imo, just work for it ffs. most players nowadays just want to take the easy route and move to other clubs if things arent handed to them on a silver plater, fucking primadonas, they start moaning and crying on social media, etc. if things dont go their way. I say fuck you Bayern and always remember these words: "your stadium, your city, our cup" . Cheers

Problem comes mate when you got outside influences - eg managers/media/agent  blowing smoke up his arse stroking his ego and telling him he DESERVES to be playing at the very top every game! They dont give a fuck about us. Its all ego with alot of kids.

IF I'm wrong then he will stay and do like we have said he should do.
