I'm sure Pirlo is pleased about this.
Typical, Giroud scores a quality equaliser and looked decent in the match and now this.
We absolutely have to get someone in now, someone of real quality and not a Wellbeck or Kalou. Someone of Cavani's calibre please.
With Giroud's injury Wenger looks pretty pathetic for turning down Balotelli.
3rd week of the season and we are in a full blown injury crisis. fuck sakes.

I can't stand the guy at times but surely blaming him for trying to block a clearance is a bit extreme.
😆
😆 A search for the phrase "typical Giroud" on OMT would reap a rich yield of bile.

He broke his ankle from that? Really? Fucking ridiculous.
How is that even possible? 😆
Can't be...although his pansy-like reaction does suggest it was painful.

And what about when Wenger signs no one and we start with Sanogo up front?
This injury has fallen in line with Theo's return, probably will play him upfront from Sep onward with Sanchez covering meanwhile.
@wayneveysey : 2014-08-26 11:05:03 UTC Specialist assessed Giroud scans this morning. Confirmed #AFC fears. Broken bone in foot & out for around 10 weeks.
Bullox, who's gonna bear the brunt of our scapegoating with him out?!
Santi, Flamini, Wilshere, Debuchy, Sanogo ...
Loads of options really.
So much for his robustness.
Wenger's got his work cut out for him in this last week of the transfer window.
Wenger's leaving himself wide open for that... no need to target players.
Memories of Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner playing upfront are all coming flooding back.

We are cursed. How can a player be out for 3 months because of that and Giroud isn't even injury prone.

Was it the ball strike or Distin's foot or studds?
