Arsenal are still far from securing the signature of Liverpool star man Luis Suarez. However their players have already started talking about the potential arrival of the Uruguayan and the influence he will have on the gunners squad. Last summer’s signing Giroud welcomes Suarez but is he unaware of the consequences?
Giroud had a decent first season with Arsenal, however he surely did not replace Robin van Persie at the Emirates. Arsenal badly need someone of his quality and Suarez is the answer. Surely spending more than 40 million shows they really believe he is the missing piece.
Giroud thinks that Suarez will be a good competition and he welcomes that as he claimed:
“We are waiting for one (Suarez) but we don’t know. I think it will be good for the team and for me as well to have another striker, to have more competition between us.
“But I think I could play with (Suarez) or without him. So I will be able to be in the first XI this season. I really want to be in the first XI this season but we will see.”
Everyone wants to be the part of starting 11, so does Giroud but if (a bif if) Suarez signs for Arsenal, Giroud will have no place in the first team squad. Giroud is mistaken, in reality Suarez is not competition but his replacement.
Yes, Giroud did well in the buildup play last season and supports well too but he does not play out wide, nor does he play behind the striker. Giroud deserves his chance next season but perhaps Arsenal do not have more time and patience after all those trophyless years.
There is only one place for the striker and that will be Suarez’s if sanity prevails. Suarez can shift out wide or behind the striker as well but Arsenal already have class players like Poldi, Walcott, Chamberlain, Cazorla and co for that. Therefore, Giroud may as well have to come on from the bench next season.

Securing suarez to emirate wil b a gud deal 4 d gunners,he wil giv giroud a fight 4 dat role. Wenger shuld hasten 4 his signature
You couldn’t be more wrong.
Suarez is neither a replacement nor a competition as he can play accross da frontline….Is abt teambuilding and squad depth…
depending on each game,
Wenger can decide to drop Podolski for Suarez…with Theo on da right wing and giroud up front
he can also choose to keep podolski drop Giroud for Suarez upfront wid theo or Chamberlain
and in da same way Suarez can be dropped to bench
Remember injuries can set in
and it will difficult for teams to predict us as well….where a particular player starts will a headache for teams and hence our advantage
Giroud is not aplayer that can be compared with suarez guys Giroud is just cartoon and it is only that wenger’s eye are not seen,
, how can you play lazy strikers like Giroud, if arsenal are still play under wenger then they need 4 more yaers with out tropies honestly we will always be sick and tired of wenger’s policy in the club, if want striker go to italy, spain, brasil,and other countries not france,only henry was the best and ever best striker in france not this lazystriker called Giroud
You are soooooo wrong. Giroud is class and will surprise all this season. Last year was his intro to EPL and he did well. This season he will add a further 10 goals to his tally.
Chelsea played some 70 competitive games last season. If Arsenal have any hope of progressing deep into all competitions they will have to rotate their squad as Chelsea did . Add to that the fact Suarez is to sit out 6 games at the start of the season, injuries, internationals , for which Suerez will have to go half way around the world and what you have is a situation where there will be plenty of chances for each player to show their worth. If anything , Arsenal need another two or three players on top of Suarez to get really competitive.
Arsega,you are fool.I can tell that from your english.Giroud is lazy?You must be a crazy fool,ramsey who is an engine didn’t match his work rate.Like it or not,if wenger buy suarez,he will either sit or play wide.The new attacking team is build on Giroud and he will play every available match.WATCH OUT!FOOL.
@ Tomas, i buy ur idea of squard rotation at dat, every player would play at least 8 games dat will strenghten d squard n players will understand themselves better. Let’s give Giroud a second chance dis coming season n u’ll see he’ll do better.
Who are all these clowns talking so highly of Giroud?????? The man will NEVER be of top 4 team quality. End of.
Oliva is a worl’ class futballer
You guys should stop saying rubbish and let wenger focus on buying a good strikers. To me giroud is not a striker,how can you build the whole team on that lazy striker
