Really? Do you have the clip where he said those exact words? Interested to see how that came about.
If so Henry's contradicting himself - he's consistently maintained Giroud is 'good but not great'. Both these articles were out in the same period:

Disagree. Even if we're leaving aside that Costa won the title and Suárez failed at the last hurdle I don't see why Suárez' last season at Liverpool shouldbe rated higher; he scored and assisted loads in a very attacking side but he also had a week of rest between games. Diego Costa on the other hand was winning games on his own in a better league, often enough he was the only player in the opposition half. He was also instrumental in getting Atlético into the CL final
I'd still rate Suárez higher as he's kept his level while Costa dropped after moving to Chelsea, also Costa has recurring hamstring issues which probably will never completely heal
At. Madrid have better players and a better manager than Liverpool - they weren't as reliant on Costa as you make out. Of course he was their primary goal scorer and outlet but that was his role in the team. It didn't make him a better player. The subsequent performances of both clubs further illustrate that.
Costa will never be as sharp as Suarez is.
Suarezzzzzz 1-0
Rafinhaa 2-0
Maybe they'll stop pursuing Bellerin if Sergi keep playing like this.
If they wants Bellerin, give us Sergi. He's been phenomenal for them thus far.
Madrid, Barcelona and At. Madrid all dropping points in the opening weeks of the season. Don't normally see them all being so careless.
Seeing them all drop a good number of points in the same season is quite rare.
Barca lost 2 of their first 7 la liga games last season and dropped 8 points in 10 games in 14/15.
C.Ron mouthing "Your mothers a whore" after being subbed.
Many people assume it's aimed at Zidane.
Real Madrid fail to win for 4 games in a row. That's genuinely surprising,
Celta vigo are now beating Barcelona 2-0
It's now 3-0!
Barcelona have looked pretty poor since Messi got injured.
like claude says, it's a shitty league. loads of goals in them games with the top 2.

Barca get it back to 3-2 then Ter Stegen chips it up for the Celta forward to head in a fourth!
League is becoming as competitive as the PL it seems.
Well, they have tried to make the TV money allocation slightly fairer but I think it's too early to say if that's had any effect.
PL is years light ahead of La Liga.
Let us just tell ourselves that.
