Gunning for What? - The Arsenal Gunners Thread

Aaron Ramsey needs to go. Hopefully he takes a seat when Wilshere is back. Ramsey is just "there." I hear he scored this week in CL, but still, on a regular basis the guy is worthless. Particularly out on that right side where I think Walcott should be. Ox-Chamberlain is still too green. He needs more time and maturity in the game.

I've said it before, Giroud was a bad signing IMO. I'll bet the guy has less than 7 goals in the BPL all year. I just don't think he can play at that level and be consistent in striking the back of the net which is required of his position.

I haven't been convinced by what I've seen of Giroud so far at all. I didn't see much of him in Ligue 1. His strike-rate there wasn't too far from what Gervinho managed. Part of the issue is that it seems like the jump from France to England is bigger than ever. Recent Arsenal buys from there like Kolicesny and Gervinho have taken awhile to settle in, while others like Chamakh haven't made the jump effectively at all. With the way he's played thus far, Giroud looks more like a depth striker than a guy who can start and contribute regularly. But given the amount paid, he's going to get his chances. Which could end up costing Arsenal if he can't deliver.
