Nobody hates Giroud. A vast majority of the forum considered him a good enough striker for the bench and not as a first choice when I did a poll. The stats back that up- (Despite being our lead striker who's got the vast majority of minutes due to his only replacements being Chamakh and Sanogo) he's been outscored by the 2 main United strikers, He's 20 behind Suarez's tally of his last 2 seasons and he's not even here now, Aguero comfortably and just about beats Dzeko and Yaya.
Since the start of his Arsenal career, there are 14 Premier League strikers who have scored goals from open play at a faster rate than Giroud.
The 28-year-old has needed an average of 194 playing minutes to net each of his 35 strikes.
Giroud's conversion rate of 13.9 per cent is not great
Sure he's had 2-3 good months but that's even a lesser period than Nasri's 6 months
