The idea that Giroud will surpass Demba Ba is a little bit comical I feel. It's not that he's shit or that Ba is incredibly talented but not sure he is ever going to have the speed of mind and body to do what is needed to be a top premier league striker. His movement is top notch but he's a bit ponderous on the ball at times and his footwork isn't particularly agile on most occasions.
Would be a great back-up striker to have but typically, we're too fucking budget to push him down the pecking order.
